Room 3 had a lot of fun over the last couple of days before the long break. In celebration of the holidays to come, we had the chance to dress up in our jammies, make some Christmas colored Rice Krispie treats and played with powdered snow! It was an incredibly fun and exciting week and we wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to seeing all of you in 2017 and until then, stay safe and stay warm!
Last week, the friends in Room 3 were able to experience something a bit newer on the Big Field. Previously, they had fun playing with small parachute men, but now they got the chance to play with a gigantic parachute! We played a “Cat and Mouse” game and had fun running under the parachute. Look forward to seeing more fun games and activities in the near future!
To celebrate how thankful we are for pumpkins, we decided to let them go with a bang. Well, it’s more of a thump, but the end result is the same: scattered pumpkin and seeds galore. Brave volunteers stepped onto the ladder and began dropping the pumpkins. Children from the entire school witnessed this spectacle and we all wished them goodbye… at least until next year.
The children in Room 3 carved pumpkins and discovered the wondrous things inside those pumpkins. The seeds were cooked and we had an amazing time deciding whether our salty or sweet seeds were better. Try it at home and decide for yourself…salty or sweet?!?
Room 3 had an amazing time this week celebrating the season of orange pumpkins and falling leaves. We were all able to make and taste a delectable creation that we call, “Pumpkin Delight.” With the help of the children, a sweet, soft and moist treat was baked in honor of Autumn and its signature fruit, pumpkins.
This week, Room 3 had an amazing time going up to the main campus and playing on what we call the “Big Field.” The children get to do all sorts of things such as playing with balls, popping bubbles, chasing Mr. Timmy and playing a variety of games. The first game we started playing was Red light, Green light and it was a blast. The children made it more fun by striking poses when they had to stop. Please look forward to hearing about many more games in the future from both teachers and the children from Room 3.
First and foremost, a huge thanks to Nicole (Amara’s Mom) for providing us some fantastic costumes for our dramatic play area. The children are ecstatic at the sight of these costumes. We were provided with costumes that represent everyday members of the community. Our new additions to the dramatic play wardrobe consist of a Doctor, Veterinarian, Police Officer and Astronaut outfit. The children of Room 3 are enjoying themselves so much as they learn and assume the roles of community helpers. 
Room 3 had lots of fun splashing in water during this extremely hot week. From dumping water, to creating rivers and jumping in mud, the children in Room 3 could barely contain their excitement.Their desire to play in the water was not only fun, but also allowed for them to cool off. We look forward to seeing Room 3 play with more fun water toys and doing different water based activities!
So you might be wondering what the children do after their hour-long adventure on the playground, but rest assured that their day is full of fun activities. Once the clock strikes 10, Room 3 ventures back inside the classroom to sing songs, read many different books and more during Morning Meeting. However, the excitement doesn’t stop there…but let us leave that for another blog post. 
Room 3 along with the other rooms at school have been exploring their creative minds with Ms. Monica the past couple of weeks. During their time with Ms. Monica, the children have a blast unleashing their inner creativity through the different art activities that are planned for them. As the year goes on, the children will explore different ways to use their creative minds to create art pieces that allow us to take a peek at their vast imagination.
