MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

We had so much fun in the owl room. We played, played and played. We wrote with markers and then we discovered if you write on the easel with a marker we can then wipe it off with a wipe. My sweet owls had fun cleaning up. We played with the ribbon and reindeer and my nativity ducks. We again played with the tape. We rolled bells in paint and watched it make a picture. While we painted we sang Jingle Bells again and again. In Chapel we talked about the greatest gift at Christmas, Jesus. We then made a rice baby. We played outside and PARTIED!!

Thanks so much for sharing your sweet babies with me. I have enjoyed them so much and I look forward to a wonderful second half of the year.

Thank you so much for all the wonderful treats and the gift cards. I can't wait to go shopping (after the christmas crazies).

Have a blessed Christmas and a wonderful break!!

With love,
Ms Tracee

Merry Christmas sweet owls,

We are had a wonderful Christmas week in the Owl class. In our class we had ribbons we can cut. We painted a Christmas tree, wrote with markers and decorated our own Christmas tree. We ripped tape and made tape balls and then threw the tape balls. This activity touches on lots of language. Pull, red, green, sticky, help. It is also a motor activity with the pulling, and the wadding of the tape and then the throwing. We had fun doing this.
Outside Ms. Pat has more Christmas things to cut and paint. We even have a sleigh to ride in, complete with bells and a horse.
We experienced the camel, donkey and sheep. Many of my friends watched from a far but it is exposure at this age. They will all be standing in line with big smiles on their faces in a few years and will ride the camel.
This week we are having our Happy Birthday Jesus Party. I look forward to that. We will go to a special chapel and then share a cake after chapel. As always you are welcome to attend but I know this is your last three hours before Christmas you might need the time.
Check out the photos!!

Have a wonderful week.
With love,
Ms. Tracee
