Letter Dd and Kwanza

---

Monday:  Lizzie was out today, Toni subbed for her.  All three groups went outside this morning to do some running exercises. 

Tuesday:  During small group time all three groups were introduced to the letter of the week, Dd.  Dom’s group read the Dd book and wrote down words beginning with Dd.  Lizzie’s group brainstormed words beginning with Dd and discovered the objects in the letter box.  Kinder Blossom went on a Dd hunt around the school for their Dd box.

Wednesday:  Today was Nina’s (from the Pre-Tot rooms) 2nd birthday.  Her Mom and Dad brought in a special performer for the entire community to enjoy.  We all gathered in the backyard to sing, dance and perform with her.  The kiddos absolutely loved all of her songs!  We also enjoyed face paint that Jasper brought in.  Thanks Jasper!

Thursday:  This morning we enjoyed reading library books, water coloring, and playing with the dolls and the doll house for the letter Dd.  This afternoon we enjoyed Chinese.  During Chinese we began learning parts of the face by each taking turns putting pieces on a snow man!  The kiddos loved making the snowmen.

Friday:   This morning we had a blast dancing to Christmas songs outside for dance party Friday.  We also harvested out garden for Kwanza and made hats in celebration of the upcoming holiday.  This afternoon we played with dominos, dice, the dollhouse and dolls.
