00:29 Christmas in England

Christmas guests in England cross arms so that each holds an end to a popper. On the count of three, they pull the ends to find surprises inside, such as our King’s crowns! 👑
We wish you a Happy Christmas from England! Enjoying our special travels around the world!

00:12 Music & Movement

Jingle Bell and Stop!🔔
Letter J introduced us to lots of engaging activities this week! Jingle Bells were a fun addition to help us develop skills such as listening, following directions, and self regulation!

00:21 Exploring 3-D Shapes

Preschoolers used Magnifying-Tiles to build 3-D shapes this week. They enjoyed exploring the inside of their structure with a video!

00:17 Sequencing Stories

We had further practice with our sequencing story boards this week! Preschoolers ordered events of their story, and told their story! We love this for building our young readers ability to “picture read” a story, add details, and develop their own confidence and language skills! We so enjoyed listening to each of their stories, and look forward to hearing from more of our emergent readers next week!

00:19 Hopping Corn Experiment Results! 🌽

When the baking soda and vinegar combine, they create the bubbles (a gas)! The bubbles circle around the corn kernels and lift the kernels up to the water surface! As the bubbles pop, they sink down again!
