Playing Garbage

Yellow Group Parents:  Just a quick reminder that the make-up Christmas Program for your class is tomorrow, January 10 at 10:30 a.m.  We hope that you can make it!

We are all getting very good at taking our coats and hats off and putting them on our hooks.  Then when it is time to go home we almost all know how to put our coats on fast!  Some of us even know how to zip and button.  We must be growing up.

After we played with some toys and looked at our seashells, we did the little Magna Doodles.  Then we did something so fun that you won't even believe it.  We played a game called Garbage.  Isn't that a funny name?  There was a long line of tape on the floor of our room.  Some of us stood on one side of the tape and the rest of us stood on the other side.  Then there was 'garbage' which was really a whole lot of balloons.  We had to kick the 'garbage' to the other side of the tape and try to keep it off of our side.  Oh my goodness that was so much fun.  Have you ever tried to kick a balloon?

We had a fire alarm today.  We remembered to line up quickly and go outside with our teachers.  After the fire alarm it was time to get ready for snack, so we washed our hands, remembered to use our walking feet and went to the snack tables.  We had apple slices, caramel dip and cheese.  Wow, was that yummy.  Thank you, Robert.

Our songs today were "10 Little Germs", "Teddy Bear", "The Finger Band" and "Have a Cup of Tea".  Our story was called "Germs Are Not for Sharing".  What do you do when you sneeze?  What do you do when you cough?  What do you do when you drop a piece of food on the floor?  This book taught us how to keep away from germs.

We loved Art today.  We put on smocks and then we got to paint at the table with paint brushes and really pretty colors of paint.  It was so much fun. 

We did something really funny after we came in from our fire alarm.  Mrs. Whiteman grabbed some snow and packed it into a little snowball.  Then we each held it and passed it around.  Guess what happened?  It got smaller and smaller and smaller.  Then, all of a sudden it was gone!  What happened to it?
