S is for Sock Puppet

Check out these adorable little sock puppets we made...wiggly eyes, ribbon ears, a button nose, spots, antennas, yarn hair, even a ribbon tongue. The kids put on their puppets and had little puppet shows with each other...very cute.

The Itsy-Bitsy Snowman

Today we made these adorable snowmen for our art project. We then learned a song called "The Itsy-Bitsy Snowman" (sung to the tune of Itsy-Bitsy Spider). It goes like this:

The Itsy-Bitsy Snowman was standing in the snow.

Down came some flakes--it made the snowman grow.

Out came the sun to shine its golden rays.

Which warmed the little snowman and melted him away.

The kids can sing it to you along with some fun little motions that go with it...just ask them!

Merry Christmas to All!!

We had our Holiday Party on Thursday the 16th...we enjoyed our favorite pizza and then decorated our very own gingerbread houses. The kids all brought in some candy to share with each other for the houses. Each one turned out so cute, not to mention--we can even eat them!! We all had a fun time exchanging gifts too. I wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Railroad Park Field Trip

Today we went to ride the train at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park. It was a beautiful day outside too! We enjoyed some cookies and milk in the park, road the carousel, hopped on the train, had a picnic lunch, and played on the playground...it was a fun packed day!
