HAPPY FIRST DAY OF OLIVE CLASS!! Ms. Shelby and I cannot be more proud of our kiddos today. They had a blast.  Old friends met up again, and made new friends.  We saw some amazing feats of strength and for my Seedling class friends, I saw so much growth (in only 2 months!).   We are going to have a wonderful year!   Indiana Early Learning Foundations: ELA2.3: Demonstrate awareness and understanding of concepts of print M2.2: Demonstrate awareness of patterning   SE1.1: Demonstrate self awareness and confidence SE2.1: Demonstrate self control SE4.1: Demonstrate relationship skills APL1.1: Demonstrate initiative and self-direction

Classroom (and light studio) Adventures!

 As the weather stays cold, we are lucky to have a facility with lots of indoor options to get us out of our classroom and get our imaginations running! Today we visited a refreshed light studio: This week's theme: SPACE Since we have already completed a space unit, we were SO READY! We also experimented with ribbon lengths today and enjoyed an impromptu dance party....  Because, why not?  As were getting older, you may notice us attempting to describe how big something is ("it's really REALLY big!").

Hanukkah blogget

Image
Ms. Suzanne has a very quick, toddler friendly version of the Hanukkah story, accompanied by the children using an actual shamash to light their own candle. With real fire.  And it's a lesson in responsibility with flames that the children take very seriously.  You can see it in their faces - they are doing something that they probably haven't done before, and they are quite proud of their accomplishments.  First, we had the story where we learned of Judah Maccabee and Hashem's miracle of making the oil last 8 nights.  Next the children picked out their candle; there were so many color choices! Finally, each child put their candle in the Menorah to light and then blow out the flame.  We made more Hanukkah cards with markers - one of our favorite mediums.  Have a wonderful weekend. Shabbat Shalom!
