We were at it again, playing with the babies and serving up lots of birthday treats. We even took a little break from the classroom to dress up and act out the nativity story. Everyone chose their own costume and posed for a few pictures. These pictures were so cute I had to share them all. I love how the costumes don't always cooperate. Meanwhile, back in the classroom... The highlight of our day was a mini experiment Ms. Rebecca and I call, "Diaper Dissections". We presented the children with a diaper, cup of water, pipette, and the freedom to put as much water into the diaper as it would hold. The pipettes didn't last too long before the boys and girls were pouring water into their diapers. And when the diapers could still hold more liquid, we used a pitcher to add water until the diaper was full. Then we ripped open the diapers and checked out the amazing silica inside that absorbed all the liquid. It is a really fun substance to play with, almost snow like. We added the silica from their diapers to the sensory bin and headed outside to play. The giggles were the best part of the experience. The children loved the cool, gooey feeling between their fingers. Next Wednesday is our last class day before Christmas break and we will be having a wonderful birthday celebration for Baby Jesus. Lunch will be provided. Party starts at noon and we hope you will all join us.

Why Blog?Here you will find little snippets of our days together. When my children were in preschool and would come home I would always ask, "So, what did you do today?". All they ever said was, "Played." That didn't tell me much. I hope this blog will be a place to share what we have done and help you ask more directed questions of your child. You will see first hand just what we do after you kiss your little one goodbye in the morning. It will also be a great place to visit and see just how much your child has grown and learned throughout the year. Archives
