Christmas

I can't believe it's less than 2 hours away from Wednesday already.  How did that happen?  There is still so much to do before Christmas!  I hope you're all enjoying your holiday preparation.  Here are a few photos from Little Adventures Preschool on Monday.  Our theme was Christmas.  We started the day by playing the gingerbread Starfall game on the iPad as everyone was arriving. There is a maze where kids make the gingerbread follow a shape to make it to the end.

 We read some Christmas stories and played a "What's in the Sock?" game.  I filled four socks (star, bell, gingerbread shaped cookie cutter, candy cane) with Christmas related items.  We passed them around and used all our senses (but sight) to try and figure out what they were.  I love how A is so carefully testing this one.

 And J is listening to see if it makes a sound.

 M is ready for I to hand it over!

 We played a matching the alphabet game.

 And laced popcorn.  We had read "If You Take a Mouse to the Movies" and he laces popcorn in the book.  It was a great activity and they were all focused on it for longer than I thought they would be.

 Of course they got to eat popcorn along the way...

 The number of the day was 4 and since our letter was F we did 4 'f'inger prints on each number 4.
