Happy Monday!
Boy!! It seems like December is just flying by!! With the excitement of Christmas in the air, we have been hearing all sorts of Santa sightings, elf happenings and train rides. It sounds like everyone had a fun and busy weekend!
We are working hard learning our songs for our upcoming program next week.. We can't wait to share them all with you!
Our story today was "Penguin and Pinecone" By Salina Yoon. This is a very cute story about a penguin who finds a pinecone. He loves playing with the pinecone, but his grandfather tells him that where they live it is too cold for the pinecone to grow. He puts a scarf on the pinecone to keep him nice and warm. One day Penguin takes pinecone into the warm forest, and makes a nice cozy nest for him to snuggle in. He said goodbye, and headed back to his home. As the year went by, Penguin couldn't stop thinking about his friend pinecone. So, Penguin went back to the forest to visit pinecone. Ask your child what Penguin found when he went to visit pinecone.
Today at our table tops, we put our own scarfs on pinecones. However, our scarves were pipe cleaners. I was really proud of how well everyone did winding their pipe cleaners on the pinecones. We tied ribbons on the pinecones and hung them on our Christmas tree in our classroom.
See you all on Wednesday!!
