Elves At work

Today we started working on one of our many SPECIAL projects that will be revealed at a later date!

Christmas Shape Trees

Today we made Christmas trees! Before we stared we talked about the shapes we see on a Christmas tree. I demonstrated how to draw them all and then we got started. First, the preschoolers drew their triangles on the paper. Then, cut out both their triangle tree and their rectangle tree stump. They then decorated it with additional shapes using markers, stickers, and paper.

Elf Names

Today the preschoolers built an elf out of the letters of their name. Together we built Rainbow's name elf, so they could see what materials they were using and in what order to build the elf. I then spread them out and let them work. I am happy to say besides a few backwards letters, they all independently put their elves together with their names spelled correctly!

Sensory Table Fun!

This week and next the sensory table is the North Pole! Inside is fake snow, jingle bells, pom poms, fillable plastic ornaments, mini holiday erasers, and holiday figures!

straw wreaths

Today we did a fun painting activity. The preschoolers used straws to paint holiday wreaths. The ends of the straws were cut and fanned out to give the wreaths a more textured look.

The many adverntures of Rainbow

Today we conducted a really fun science experiment. We submerged three candy canes into three different liquids. Before we placed them in the cups, each preschooler made a prediction about what they thought would happen to the candy cane. I let them fell and smell the liquids before they made their predictions. Once their predicitions were made we filled the cups with water, vinegar(with a little baking soda magic), and oil. After nap, we are going to document what actually happened to our three candy canes.
