Preschool Wrap up

 We mostly did arts and crafts this week and battled ear infections and colds. 

Glue Men
 They look cute on the children's tree.
 Adding glitter to ceramic snowflakes (found at Hobby Lobby) to give to her ballet teachers.  They look better in person.
Decorating the circle tree we made last year.  She's still working on this one.
 Our Monet inspired painting of the Christmas tree.

We've read a lot of Christmas books, including:




Bear has been reading the following books on her own:


Math has been more or less just counting down to Christmas with a bit of addition practice (at school).  She's also been working on short bead chains at school and is up to the 4 chain (there are 4 sets of 4 beads linked together and she counts them in 4's adding a little arrow with the correct number at each 4th bead - it's to learn 4 squared.)

I've been busy planning units on Frogs and Polar Bears/the Arctic (totally unrelated, I know) to take us through to the end of January.

    Hanna did an awesome job on her circle tree last year and we put it out this year too.
