Mr. Sprinkles is so silly!  He is riding our classroom dinosaur!

We believe in the magic of Christmas!! 🎄

The children learned that there is one more ingredient needed to make these magic candy cane seeds grow!  They had to tell the seeds that they believe in the magic of Christmas!  We cannot wait to watch them grow!  Stay tuned!

We talked about the three things that plants need to grow.  Soil, sun and water.  Now it was time to water our magic seeds with three squirts of water - for the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Preschool science today was all about the magic of Christmas!  We planted our magic candy cane seeds!

We love listening to Ms. Nash's Christmas favorites!  This story is about Emit the Elf who falls from Santa's sleigh.  He goes on an adventure through all the years holidays until he finds Santa again.  It is a beautiful story about the importance of giving during the holiday season and year round.

The children made a manger scene with Ms. Nash this morning.  It was tricky to paint with our fingers and get it on the correct dots.  We had to use our listening skills and eye/hand coordination for this project!

It was Star Day in Preschool!  We read a story by Oliver Jeffries called How To Catch A Star.  It is about a little boy in search of a star who has big dreams and has unexpected discoveries.  We each made our own watercolor and salt beach scene with our own friendly star!   When salt is sprinkled on the wet paper, it starts to gather the watercolor pigments into a beautiful ocean scene.

We love Morning Choice time with our friends.  The children get to choose where they play and what they want to do with the materials before them.  Jackson and Jack were pretending to bulldoze in the sensory table.  Daniela, Hugo, Anna and Sofia were making soup for God.  The children also enjoyed making colorful Christmas trees and roll and count Gingerbread Men.

Mr. Sprinkles is enjoying a book in our classroom today with his friends Clifford the Big Red Dog and Puppy.

We read a lovely story about St. Nicholas and how he started caring for the needy and poor. We are awaiting in anticipation of his arrival and loved the story about the importance of giving.

Thank you Mrs. Sivak for the beautiful Advent calendar.  Bradley helped us find and open door #5 today and we found a shining cross!

Preschool has almost filled the whole bucket!  Only a few more pom poms and it is a movie day!  We are bucket fillers!

Building toys at the tables was a great way to start the day before we went to mass with our Prayer Buddies!

We are finishing our flags of Italy today.  We learned that the colors of the tricolore flag represent faith, hope and charity. Come see them outside our classroom!
