And we're back! Everyone was so excited to see each other and share what they did over the holidays!
We spent our week celebrating the new year and exploring the outdoors. We celebrated the new year by practicing a countdown from 10 and from 20, and once we got the hang of this we made Pom Pom Poppers to add to the end of the countdown! So much fun! The kids practiced writing the new year number and decorated all around it, in their journals. They also practiced their cutting by snipping rectangles on a cardboard tube and bending them back to make a firework shape, to then do some firework paint stamping.
Since we love singing our months of the year song so much, we started a new months of the year song where we have to help keep the beat.
We sure enjoyed our outdoor time! My little explorers were quite adventurous in where and how they chose to play and climb in the ravine. There was definitely a lot of problem solving and team work involved when dealing with the uneven landscape, snow and ice. As a teacher, this is so great to watch.
