DECK THE HALLS WITH BOUGHS OF HOLLY...
Beginning at 9:20 this morning, the children are making four different holiday decorations to fill the kindergarten hallway. This is sure to heighten the holiday spirit! They will be making a Santa with Ms. Brown, wreath with Mrs. Schmidt, Christmas tree with Mrs. Schrupp and Rudolph in the snow with me.
Prior to our Deck the Halls event, the children will plant their own candy cane seed that will grow throughout the week. Special ingredients:
~A Tic Tac imprinted with a candy cane
~Sugar with a dash of magical red sprinkles
Kindermath: Compare Height
Music Today
Social Studies: Customs and TraditionsOver the next three weeks, we will explore how a few countries across the globe celebrate the holidays. Today, the children will be introduced to what it means to have a custom and/or tradition.
~We have a gift wrapping play center set up in our classroom now. The kids will have fun wrapping one of the following items to give to a friend: teddy bear, necklace, car, crayons, or a ball. This center helps the kids determine whether the gift should be wrapped in a small, medium, or large piece of paper. Other skills are: cutting, taping, and writing friends' names. To watch the recipients open a gift from a friend is priceless as both parties enjoy the anticipation. The gift is then returned to the wrapper for 're-gifting' to another friend. The fun keeps going on and on!
