In Room 5 we like to make everything friendly and accessible for the young twos- it is their room after all! So, we made a toddler-sized felt tree which they happily decorate without fear of breaking things, knocking it down, or having it topple over them. What a joy! Not only did they create the felt decorations for the tree themselves with stickers, glitter glue, and paint- they get to take them off and re-decorate to their little hearts’ content. We love the wonder in their eyes as they take on the opportunity to trim the tree again and again.

The Children in Room 2 enjoyed decorating the classroom tree on Monday, Dec 7th and Tuesday, Dec 8th. They hung Christmas ornaments from home and then sang Christmas Carols .

They then had a special snack of Hot Chocolate and Gingerbread cookies.

All our littles have been enjoying the holiday season with a variety of joyous activities. Here are a few….🎄😉 

With Christmas festivities in full swing, it just wouldn’t feel like the holidays without baking! Room 1 friends measure, pour, mix, and roll their way to a yummy treat!

As Ms. Joy guides the children through a Snickerdoodle recipe, the group discusses units of measurement, consistency of the ingredients, and spices used.

Hands-on cooking activities are a fun way for children to make connections in content areas like math, science, and literacy!

The friends in Room 5 have been hard at work getting our bulletin ready for the main lobby! They mixed up some sparkly puff paint and created whimsical snowmen. While they worked on their art, we worked some math foundations into the activity. We discussed ordering, shape, and size while we put each snowman together. They are very proud of their work and so are we! Check out their finished product in the main lobby for the remainder of the Christmas season.
