Winter Weather Fun

During these last snowy, very cold weeks, our class has been learning about all the fun things they can do in the snow.  We have even done a version of some of these winter weather activities inside!  We have also been learning about the kinds of animals that live in the cold and snow.

We also went on our first field trip and bus ride at the end of December.  The students all loved riding the bus and laughed at the magicians' tricks.

One of the songs we listened to during our Winter Weather Clothes week!



Holiday Fun!

I'm finally back from maternity leave, I was able to visit the classroom during my maternity leave and show the class my little baby girl Gracie Mae.  They all thought it was fun to see the baby that they had been talking about when she was in my tummy.

   

Now that I'm back, I am excited to start posting about what is going on in our classroom again! 

Each day we are learning new things through creative play, fun activities, singing, and guided activites.

 

 

We have been learning about shapes and colors!

We had alot of fun decorating our classrom for the Christmas Season.  Our room is bursting with Season's Greetings!

 

While I was gone the students had a very fun Halloween/Fall party.  They had the cutest costumes.  I know that was awhile ago, but I thought the pictures were cute enough to share anyway!

Fire Safety

We are done with our Down on the Farm theme and this week we have moved on to Fire Safety. 

Our class has had a wonderful time dressing up like firefighters this week:

In the Sand and Water Table we had pumps, water wheels, and pouring/measuring devices:



 We built our own firetrucks to use in dramatic play!  They did a great job of painting the truck and fixing it up with ladders and lights.  A great big THANK YOU to Barbers for donating our boxes!

They really enjoyed pretending to race to fires!

The Fairbury City Fire Department put on a puppet show and fire safety presentation.  The kids loved it!  They laughed and sang and were able to try on some of the firefighter gear.

 It was a wonderful week!
Coming up next week we will change our them to "Jump Into Fall."
