January

 We had so much fun this month! It was nice to be back into our routine after Christmas break and to see all our friends again. 

 During our welcome back day we had a lot of fun playing with in the Afterschool room and then getting to paint some masterpieces!

We love to build with the blocks! Especially castles and train tracks!

 Vivianne decided our red squares would be perfect for hopscotch and taught her friends how to play. We then decided it would be fun to hopscotch as other animals!

 Brrrr....on our snowmen day we had fun playing musical icebergs! We waddled as penguins when the music played and then had to share an iceberg with our friends.

 Only one iceberg left!

 Dylan playing with all the utensils in the snow! He thought it would be a great idea to wear gloves to keep his hands warm.

 Vivi making a body for the Mr. Potato Head pieces. 

 Oh my goodness! The ice is so cold!

 Playing with shaving cream snow.

 We tried to make balls and draw pictures in the "snow". 

 Then we decided that the shaving cream looked like mittens when it covered our hands!

 Sebastian found a wooden egg in our sensory bin on circle and oval day.

 Sebastian and Lily found this pack of number books and sorted them by color on their own!

 Lily working on her circle work sheet page!

 Ava making a circle paint picture.

 Aven using all different size circles.

 Jada practicing her balance with our circle rings.

 Making shape drawings with the white boards. Shape cars were a favorite!

 Zach painting his square worksheet.

 We love sensory bins! We never know what we're going to find!

 Fun with the trampoline on square and rectangle day!

 Look how high I can jump!!

 Dylan doing a great job fixing the button sorting.

 We started talking about calendars this month! The kids are excited to see the birthdays and holidays especially!

 Ava with a triangle on family literacy day.

It was so fun to dance and sing to our favorite songs with instruments!


 We also got to make up our own stories using felt board pieces.

 It's so nice when we work together!

 Sebastian having a lot of fun with new letter puzzle! It's great practice!

 We ended the month with an awesome field trip! Here's a group shot with both 3 year old classes.

 Kyla showing mom and dad her hard work!

It was such a great month learning our shapes, celebrating winter, and exploring more ways to incorporate letters and literacy into our play! We're so excited to see what we'll learn next!

A bonus frozen iceberg clip.

Fun with musical instruments! The Ants Go Marching!
