It's the most wonderful time of the year!
With parent/teacher conferences and the holiday breaks we decided to combine November and December digital newsletters. We had great fall weather and enjoyed it as long as possible. Some of our highlights were Stone Soup, If You Give a Mouse a Muffin day, grocery store in dramatic play, many variations of the Gingerbread Man story, a gingerbread house dramatic play area, making and wrapping our presents for you, and more! Please enjoy the pictures!
Loose parts is a popular area
Pinecone Owls
Stone Soup day!
"Soup from a stone, fancy that!"
I didn't realize washing the dishes would be a highlight of
our Stone Soup day.
Grocery store is always popular.
"If You Give a Mouse a Muffin" muffin making day.
So many books about Gingerbread Men, and so many activities!
Reindeer dinner time.
I love it when they want to play by pretending to sleep.
They speak in whispers and want the lights low,
it's very peaceful. :)
The Gingerbread Mouse book inspired an open art
project to create our own mouse houses any way
we want.
We had access to little boxes, colored tape,
colored papers, scissors, glue, markers, crayons, etc.
We were encouraged to think and plan before we started.
Making our family Christmas gifts with real clay.
Decorating and wrapping our family gifts.
A several day project has many benefits including
delayed gratification, patience, planning, forethought,
and anticipation.
Pajamas and popcorn party!
We got to decorate our own gingerbread man cookies.
