Thursday, January 13

Group Meeting:  We started the day by doing the Snowman Hokey Pokey.  We looked at a few more snow people that were brought in.  We're still missing a few.  If you've misplaced the snowman and need another, please let me know.

Story:  The story for today was Snowman Magic by Katherine Tegen.  It is snowing.  So much that school has been canceled.  George is bored.  Once it stops snowing, he goes outside.  He decides to build a snowman.  Ask your child to tell you about the magic that happens to the snowman.  At the end of the story, the snowman melts, but new snow is on the way.  

Small Groups:  Today was Birthday Day.  The children made Cinnamon Snowflakes for a snack.  They used tortillas and cut shapes out of them using mini cookie cutters.  I sprayed them with butter flavored Pam and the children sprinkled them with cinnamon sugar.  I baked them in the oven until they were crispy.  

Let's Find Out:  The issue for this week is celebrating Martin Luther King Jr.  The video that we watched was about fairness.  

Snack:  The children ate their Cinnamon Snowflakes with juice and water.  We also had Birthday Brownies.  

Just a reminder...we do not have school on Monday for the MLK Jr. holiday.  We'll be back on Tuesday.
