Christmas Trees and Lights!

fun with stickers and christmas trees :)

I hope you love the sweet little ornament from your kiddos. The kids were so excited that they smell like cinnamon, and they loved painting them for you!

Mrs. Beth and Mallory working on our special Christmas tree project!

We had a great time decorating the "Earth and Fire" pottery ornaments. It was so nice to see so many of you! The kids love when we have special guests!

Here the kids are working on color recognition and sorting. They matched bears to the correct color of Christmas tree lights. They really enjoyed it. :)

Fun with dotter markers and play dough :)

The kids' favorite book this week was Froggy's Favorite Christmas.

This activity with pompoms and glue was great for their fine motor skills! They loved making "ornaments" for the Christmas tree.

Christmas lights with fingerprints!

Happy Birthday to Evan!! (so sweet... I didn't see that he was pointing to himself until seeing these pictures. :)

Thank you for the cupcakes!!

Gingerbread!

painting gingerbread houses!

The kids loved the play dough mats. They pretended to make candy to stick on the houses. :) (great for fine motor skills!)

They also loved decorating the gingerbread men. :)

fun at the lego center!

We are continuing to practice numbers 1-5. This week the kids counted gingerbread men and glued them to their papers. Then they traced the number with their fingers.

They were painting a paper plate (a gingerbread man project) with cinnamon brown paint :) The smell of gingerbread filled our room! So fun:)

Little Eden working on her cutting skills!

The kids favorite book this week was definitely "The Gingerbread Man". They loved it! Some of the kids came in the the second day asking to hear it again, and retelling how the fox ATE the gingerbread man. They couldn't believe it!! ;)

making brown from primary colors!

They were so excited to make these special ornaments for their families!

I looked over and some of the girls were just dancing away to Christmas music. :) So cute.

We worked on name recognition and then made trains from their names!

They especially loved making more "snow" on their papers.
