Welcome back!  It was so good to see everyone this week!  The kids seemed glad to be back, too!

 We have two new friends, Connor and Ava, and they fit in just great!
 
 


The next two weeks we will be working on "Winter".  We have talked about and experienced, cold weather.  We are talking about snow and what you can do with it.  Hot chocolate, mittens and wooly hats are also included in this unit.

On Monday, the children decorated hot chocolate mugs. The snack that day was chocolate milk with marshmallows.


 


 


 
 


 

 
 
 
 
                                The children had fun getting back together this week.  :)
 
 
 
On Wednesday, the children did some "ice cube painting".  This was a lesson in science AND art!  The children were given a small amount of powdered paint and an ice cube on a stick.  I explained to them that as the ice cube melted, it made the paint.  It was fun to watch!  We have also been doing a finger play about 5 Little Snowmen that melt away.  So they have been learning a lot about melting.
