Happy Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! It was another cold day outside so we kept our little selves inside and tried to stay as warm as possible! This morning we went to music and sang some songs! Everybody worked really hard this morning. We even tested out a new game that Miss Amy bought last night that works on manners and makes us use words to ask for a turn! :) It was like a picnic game....that's fun to dream about in the middle of the winter! Before lunch we gathered on the blue carpet for a short circle time and talked about a new book Miss Amy wrote this morning about how Big Boys Go Pee Pee on the potty....that is some GREAT reading! But everyone seemed to enjoy it! We will see how that works for my friends who are learning to use the potty like big boys!

Lunch time was lunch time....nothing too exciting, nothing too scary! :)

After lunch we started the afternoon with circle time and counted how many days were left in January....not very many! In centers we practiced cutting circles for our snowmen we are putting together tomorrow! I saw some great scissor skills today! At the ladybug (turn taking) table we did some winter time file folder games and worked on matching letters and colors. And at the turtle table (sensory) we played with the instant snow! The real stuff is too cold! :)

We went to recess in the OT room then came back to have some dry cereal mix for snack. My friends are getting really good about using their manners and asking for more when they want it! We ended the day in circle time again doing our "Name-O" songs and the "Mac Chicken Dance" then got ourselves all bundled up and ready to head out to the bus!

Tomorrow we will be putting together our paper snowmen, counting buttons for snowmen and playing with ice bergs in the water in the sensory table....brrrr!

Reminder - the Madison Carnival is this weekend, Saturday the 31st. We are still in need of several volunteers to help make this event sucessful! If you are interested in helping please contact the front office as soon as possible!

Have a great evening!
