Our Week in Photos:

📸 Here's A Little Snap Shot of Our Week📸 

G is for Games!

Shhhh.... don't tell your little scholar that they started off the week working on fine motor and letter recognition skills!!

Did you know that G is for Green, Glue, Gold and GLITTER!!!!!!!

We did so well on our Letter Review Turkey Tails!!!

G is for more GAMES!!! (Movement ones this time!!!)

g is for giraffe!!

Ask your little conservationist to tell you some pretty interesting giraffe facts!!

Like...did you know that giraffe's have the same amount of neck bones as humans?!?!

G is for the very special Guest that we invited to Our Christmas Spectacular!!!!

(Hopefully this will be the only reason why we ever get sent to the Principal's Office...EVER!!!)

G is for you getting a sneak peek at our Stage Line Up for our BIG SHOW!!!

G is for doing a great job on our House craft!

They will soon be on display in our Learning Center Hallway Gallery!!

Our Five Day Mathematicians had so much fun playing Roll and Cover Turkey Games in Math this week!!

And then things took a GREAT BIG TURN!!!

And we got to Roll the GIANT DICE!!!!

It was so much fun!!

We are getting so good at counting too!!!

Then we worked on our fine motor and sharing skills too!!

(Not to mention our meatball rolling ones too!! lol)

Before wrapping up the morning, we had some fun with Gross Motor Skills Development too aka: some new song CRAZY DANCING!!!

We did so well on our Patterning Skills this week!!

We LOVED learning about Baby Jesus and about the special night when he was born!

It was perfect timing for our Father Jun to surprise us with an unexpected visit!!!

(A true God's Wink if I've ever seen one!!!)

Our beautiful masterpieces will soon be on display in our Classroom Gallery!!

We also learned that the 🌟⭐Stars Shined Brightly⭐🌟on that very special night!!

We are in the midst of making some pretty special 3D stars that will be on display on our concert stage in just a couple of weeks!!!

Even though the weather turned brisk this week, we still found some time to play outdoors!!

Please be sure to bundle your little one up for outside playtime.  We will continue to head out as long as the temperature is above freezing!!

Also, MITTENS are much easier for your little one than gloves!!!

The teachers cannot maneuver 130 little fingers into their appropriate glove finger holes and still have time to learn and play in PreK!!!

🧁🧁We have been BLESSED with the absolute SWEETEST Baker's Dozen ever!!!!🧁🧁

😄Hope you have the happiest week!😄
