We have the holiday spirit!

The students have been enjoying some festive holiday fun these past weeks.  From singing songs to making holiday inspired crafts our preschool students are having a blast. 

Here are some of our favorite holiday books:

We have learned a new version of the "hokey pokey".  This version is called the "Reindeer Pokey" and the students are having a blast acting it out.  
Here are a few of the students preforming the song:

Movie and Pajama Party

Run, Run As Fast As You Can

This week the children have begun a mini unit on gingerbread men.  This is a short unit that will end next week.  The students are listening to various versions of the stories and discussing differences and similarities between them.  Here a few of the stories that I read to the class throughout the week.

The students also enjoyed the various fine motor projects that we did with these stories as well. 

We made gingerbread man glyphs.  Students answered an assortment of questions and their answers depicted how they would get to decorate their gingerbread man.

We also worked on a trace and cut activity.  The students had to trace a gingerbread man and then cut it out.

 We also colored pieces to be used for a gingerbread house.  When cut out, the children glued them onto their house in the location that they wanted.
