What fun we had coming back from the Thanksgiving Break! On Monday the kids made chocolate covered pretzels sprinkled with peppermint candy. Miss Laurie was extremely well prepared and this project was a blast! When the kids arrived they were each given a toy hammer and a baggie containing peppermint candies. Their job was to smash the candy! It was so fun and loud and exciting for them to make the peppermint crumbs! Miss Laurie went to the kitchen and returned with 3 plates of melted, gooey, chocolate. Once the chocolate was cool, we all sat at the 3 tables and the kids rolled their pretzels in the chocolate and sprinkled the peppermint on top. Delicioso!! (Not a typo – it’s Spanish!)
We also worked hard this week to begin decorating our classroom for our upcoming Cookie Party. Check out our beautiful wreaths and trees hanging on the bulletin boards!
On Tuesday we had a lesson from our Science Teacher, Mrs. Dashiell, who used sweet potatoes to successfully illustrate the sophisticated concept of gravity!
On Thursday Miss Kari visited us for the weekly Spanish circle-time.
The centers this week were the following:
1. Print your first name and find a sticker that has the same beginning sound as the first letter of your name
2. A card game that matched upper and lower case letters
3. A card game that focused on opposites
It was a full, fun week!! Here’s to MORE GREAT WEEKS at TCNS!!
