December Pics



Greetings Everyone!

What a fantastic December it was here at preschool! The children enjoyed a beautifully mild start to winter and had fun in our Minnesota Winter unit as well as the Christmas season!! They learned about Minnesota and it's unique characteristics, about the animals that live here and how they live in the winter, and of course we focused a lot of time and energy on the upcoming Holidays! Here is a peek into the past few weeks:



Winter in Minnesota means ice fishing, and these boys had fun fishing on the "ice":



It seemed to take FOREVER, but everyone was excited to finally see some snow:






Prior to the snow fall, the kids got tired of waiting, so we had to make our own snow activities:


Here is Renz with some tasty snowball snacks!:


Our Holiday Program was a huge success. Can you believe how awesome the kids did singing? My favorite part either had to be Santa's appearance, or this yummy hot chocolate bar:


For a fun sensory/fine motor project we painted with spruce branches. It smelled lovely!:


Of course the preschoolers were bouncing off the walls with the anticipation of Christmas, so we took the walls away and logged many hours outside!!:





And to end the year, the preschoolers went caroling around the neighborhood. They sure did brighten everyone's day!:




I hope everyone has a beautiful and relaxing holiday break. School will be back up and running January 4th. We are excited for January's theme: Sounds and Music! Preschoolers make the best musicians.

Warmest wishes,

Ms. Jakki
