What’s New?

 

We are looking forward to learning more about puppets during our Puppet Project.

 

We will continue to explore different kinds of puppets and will continue to collect supplies such as:  wooden spoons, lunch size paper bags (brown and white), empty tissue boxes, socks, buttons, envelopes, and kitchen rubber gloves.  If you have any of these items lying around please send them in for our puppet project! Thank you for your support!

 

 

During January we will also be talking about “night topics”.  The children brainstormed some ideas before break that they would like to investigate including the winter night sky, stars, the moon, dreams, and night routines.  Be sure to watch for exploration findings over the next few weeks.

 

A Final Note…

 

*Winter weather is on its way so please dress your child appropriately. Please make sure all outerwear is labeled with your child’s name.  We will be going outside every day, as weather permits, unless the wind chill falls below 20 degrees.
