It’s our last day on the “Big Field” before our Christmas Break so we’re going out with a bang or more accurately a parachute. The Room 3 kids love our “Big Field” days and all the myriad of activities we can do there. We’ve had wonderful times playing “Duck, Duck Goose,” having races, chasing bubbles, balls, paper airplanes and each other but today was especially exciting. The kids got a chance to use our enormous parachute and they loved shaking it as well as going underneath and on top of it. We can’t wait until next year when we get to go back and use it again!

  
  
  

What would Christmas be without all of the traditions we get to enjoy each season? From Christmas carols that celebrate the birth of Christ to sparkling Christmas lights, each tradition brings its own special meaning. The children in Room 3 have loved creating memories with our traditional holiday projects like ornament making, Christmas chains, and painting/glitter bombing construction paper lightbulbs but one of our favorite Christmas art projects, by far, was  creating our very own Christmas trees.  

    
    
    
 

The preschoolers enjoyed a visit from PCS orchestral students. The 5th grade students played a selection of songs and then demonstrated each instrument by explaining the various parts of each instrument and playing a few individual notes. The preschoolers were eager to say which instrument they liked best. One little friend danced through the whole show…a musician in the making!
