The Fabulous 5s are officially ready for the holidays! Our tree is up, the tinsel is out, and gingerbread children are running about! Check out below all of our fun activities for the holidays. It is amazing how just adding a little sparkle and "ho, ho, ho" can get kids re-excited about everything! See below how we have changed around our classroom. The writing center that was a little neglected (by the kiddos) the end of November is suddenly alive with holiday cards, stickers, and a mailbox--now a favorite. Ms. Jenn (OT) also had a fun "re-take" on things. She is working with lots of the kids on coloring in small pictures and had noticed they had gotten a little "tired" of normal coloring. So she brought in washable nail polish to let the kids "practice" in a different way. As you can see below, it was REALLY MOTIVATING! So just a little inspiration and encouragement because even what seems like the small monotonous things in life can be turned into learning activities for our little ones. Another reason why Bass and I have the MOST AMAZING job in the world, never a dull moment in here :) Check out some of our other "gingerbread" activities from this week below. (PS--Mark we missed you this week, hope you had fun with grandma!)
