I have found it especially easy to get into the holiday spirit now that we finally have our "Winter Wonderland". The kids were so excited as we were counting down the few short weeks until Christmas is here.
Speaking of Christmas, I would like to thank you and your families for making it to our annual Christmas party yesterday. It is always so much fun to have all of the kids together in one room and watch as the parents were able to sit back and socialize. Mary, has always done such a beautiful job at making the night one to remember.
Aside from all of the holiday talk lets get back to why you are all here.
Today in preschool, we had a very special day! One of my favorites in fact. We spent the morning going over our very favorite nursery rhymes. We started by memorizing "The cow jumped over the moon" and then went onto "Twinkle Twinkle little star". With each new rhyme that we learned we also made crafts that we motioned along while singing aloud the silly songs.
As our next activity the kids we able to make there very own Nursery rhyme books. Each book was full of my favorite mother goose rhymes. The whole lesson of the day turned to be such a success. I don't think the kids even knew that they were learning with all of the fun that we were having!
Homework: At bed time this week I challenge you to chant a new nursery rhyme everyday. Its a great memorization tool to use with your child and has endless possibilities for fun!
If you want to take your learning to the next level go onto www.pinterest.com, type in nursery rhymes and let your creative juices flow!
Thanks again for reading!
