This week our theme was Penguins. We focused on the letter Nn, the number 9,the color black, the shape of a heart, and the number 9. On Monday, we read "Penguins". During center time, the kiddos used toilet paper tubes and a pom pom to create a penguin family. They started by ripping white paper to make the snow and ice for the penguins to walk on and then added their penguins to the snow! On Tuesday, we read "Flip and Flop". We decorated birthday cards (a day late but who doesn't celebrate their birthday all week long:) ) for Mr. Richard and we celebrated with a little party with Ms. Brittney's friends! When we were with Ms. Brittney's friends, Ms. Brittney taught us all of her snow rituals to help make it snow! We prayed that it would snow and that everyone would stay safe, we learned the snow dance, we dropped ice cubes in the toilet to help it snow and learned that we were suppose to sleep with our pajamas on inside out and with a spoon under our pillow! We talked about how we could do all of the silly snow ideas but ultimately it was up to God with what happens with our weather! We did get snow but just not enough for that snow day. :) On Wednesday, Ms. Brittney started our before care morning with an indoor snowball fight, snowman building and snow angels! We read more from "Penguins" and learned more fun facts about penguins! During center time, we practiced what it means to take our time to do our art work. This means that we tried our best to stay inside the lines, use a variety of colors and make our picture look realistic. We had a snowball fight against Mrs. Trachsel and Mr. Veit. :) On Thursday, we read some more from our "Penguins" book that we have been learning from this week. During center time, we worked on our N is for noodles for our ABC book! On Friday, we celebrated our surprise no school day due to a water main break! I hope you enjoy all of the photos from the week! I will see you all on Monday to begin our Catholic Schools Week fun!
