Hello pre-tot families! It has been such a beautiful morning and watching all of our friends playing in the backyard with all the balloons that were left from the potluck yesterday. Speaking of which, we had a fantastic turnout at the potluck; even Walter who use to be in the baby room came as well as our friend Kai who will be joining our class in January.

The weather has been great this morning so we all decided to have snack outside, plus the fact that all of our guys seemed pretty happy being outside. After snack, we all walked around the backyard picking up Christmas bows and placing them in a bucket. Noah and Olive made a great team picking up bows and putting them in the bucket; it was kind of like a game for them. Wynn, Ancel and Gage spent some time playing in the sandbox and picking up handfuls of dried leaves and crushing them in between their hands. Hunter spent some time playing on the big playscape and going down the slide.

Shortly after, we were joined by some of our toddler friends. We all began singing lots of songs which Genevieve started dancing to. Jackson spent his time cuddling next to Miss Dom and getting lots of love. Miss Arielle was inside with some of our primary friends teaching kinder blossom.

It was soon time to head inside for lunch and nap. During lunch we went over the days of the week and sang our “Days of the Week” song. Then we counted the number of days we are up to in December. We also looked outside to see what kind of weather we are having.

In the afternoon we will be talking about reindeer and looking at pictures. Then we will explore wrapping paper and practice wrapping some objects in our room. Later we will read “Hands are not for hitting.” Tomorrow we will talk about tigers and look at pictures.

I would also like to take this time to thank all of you for doing so much and making our class as wonderful as it is. This school wouldn't be as awesome as it is if it wasn't for all of you and all that you contribute.

P.S.

I left my camera at the school, and was finishing the blog at home, so we will upload the pics
