Phy Ed Today

 ~The gift wrapping play center is ready to go! The kids will have fun wrapping these items:

Teddy bear

Necklace

Car

Crayons

 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 a friend's names on a tag. The gift is then returned to the wrapper for 're-gifting' to another friend. The fun keeps going on and on!

Santa Cam has arrived!

~I am looking forward to seeing those of you who are able to attend Merry Math Night this evening! 
~We enjoyed celebrating with Logan last week...

~The BIG turkey surprised the kids and begged that they wouldn't eat turkey on Thanksgiving. Most agreed but I'm not so sure that happened! At least the kids danced along and had lots of laughs and smiles!
