Fresh off the vine! 

This week in creative movement with Ms. Jenny, the children explored snowy activities again. They brainstormed words related to snowy and cozy activities, and from those they made up a story that they acted out with their bodies and facial expressions.

This afternoon, we had a double-birthday celebration.  One of our friends made four trips around the sun, and the other made five!  Happy birthday to our sweet classmates! Thank you to the family members who helped us celebrate.  

We received a super cool work, which will be on the fine motor shelf in March.  It's a pom-pom rainbow, created by transferring pom-poms with wooden tweezers.  Thank you!

Have a wonderful winter break!
