Last School Week of 2013! (Dec. 16-20, 2013)

MONDAY:
Starting out the last Monday of the 2013 school year, outside, excited and happy enjoying the beautiful weather! We went in for a bit to have circle time and work time, which friends have been looking forward to focusing on their work, and mastering certain lessons, to move forward with newer lessons. 

Yoga Mondays are always exciting! As we get to stretch, tumble, bend and flex our muscles and bodies, while learning breathing exercises! We love to read books and practice the poses of the certain animals involved. We said good bye to Miss Colette and marched outside for the afternoon!

TUESDAY:
We spent the majority of the day, working on our projects and posing for pictures for our home made school gift! Everyone is so photogenic, they loved having their picture taken, and smiled so big!!! :D

We got word in the afternoon that yoga was rescheduled, so Miss Arielle suggested having yoga outside, so we got out the mats and took them out. She had friends join her for some yoga time while other friends played, waiting for our other friends to come out!

WEDNESDAY:
 Today our friend Olive and Milou joined us for a playdate! Olive was very eager to work on the Signing Puzzle, showing me her signs, and working on ones she had questions about. She was very proud when we completed the puzzle and looked forward to finding something else to work on. Paige worked on the Pink Tower, while Colette worked with the practical life lesson, pinching clothes pins and putting them on the edge on the basket. Miya worked with the abacus, counting aloud, while Hank worked with the magnets!

THURSDAY:
It was a SNOW DAY, today!!!! Using some InstaSnow, we "made" snow in the sensory tables, with our Primary and Pre-Tot friends. Then we decided to make snow men with clear balloons, white glue and the "snow"! first, we painted glue onto the balloons, then we sprinkled snow on them. Some friends added stickers as eyes, noses and a mouth, other friends wanted to keep their snowmen "just white"! :) It was an awesome sensory exploration which we later shared with the toddlers, and even the babies got in on the fun, sprinkling and patting the snow!
Miss Daphne joined us in the afternoon, starting the class with our Adios song, then placing the cards out for the Memory game, we went around the circle taking turns picking cards and hopefully matching them!They get so excited, and clap for their friends, then repeat Miss Daphne as she pronounces the animal is Espanol, and ask everyone to repeat! We said goodbye and headed outside!

FRIDAY:
Dance Party Friday, Holiday Edition!! :) We enjoyed the lovely morning outside, enjoying our last day of the 2013 school year at Green Sprout! We decorated gingerbread men, with stickers, markers, crayons, and stampers! Our day was super laid back as we enjoyed the outside morning, while inside we finished up our gifts to our Parents, had a fun, gingerbread cooking project, and reading Holiday books brought by our friends!

HAPPIEST OF HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
