Polar Express Day

Don't you just love this adorable Santa snack that we had today in preschool?  Thanks Miss K for making them for us!
 As we continued to work on the letter F we got out the flour and had some fun!
 We practiced our other letters as well.



 Today we started talking about the number 5.  Our 5 books were decorated with the do-a-dot markers since we already had them out from doing our Polar Express Pack do-a-dot train.
 Then we made these fun trains.  I had already prepared a number of cardboard boxes with construction paper and then clear contact over the top (for durability).  Crayons work great on contact paper.  Everyone decorated their own  (some even wrote their names or "Polar Express" by asking what letter to draw next, others asked for me to write their names).

 Then we RAN!  and ran, and ran, and ran - or shall I say chugged around the house.



 We continued working on our numbers by placing the correct number of bells on a numeral and then shaking our silver bells that many times.

 We also had a quick practice of our program that will be tomorrow night for the parents.
 Happy Holidays everyone!
