Holidays in Small World

In the fall, small world celebrated Halloween.  Since November, Christmas has been popular in small world.  On Thursday, the Christmas sting ray was still distributing presents.  Then, the available materials presented another possibility.  

    Finlay - It's Easter!  We're having chocolate bears!

Chocolate bears for the bunny family.

Another Celebration...

On Thursday, we prepared chocolate cake!!
Cooking projects are a highlight in the KW program.  In addition to being fun and delicious, children work on measuring ,  counting, and following directions in order or sequencing.
   Luke - I mixed and I poured the sugar.
   Lucas - I liked the whole thing.  I like to get my hands dirty (sometimes that happens when we grease the pan).
  Finlay - I'm really happy that I'm cooking for Cate's birthday committee (connecting this experience to Tucker Room work).
    Cate - I'm having mac and cheese bites (for her birthday).

Of course, we enjoyed eating the cake, too!

We ended the day with a fun dance party!  
Thank you to the families who provided SO MANY beautiful flowers and to the children who wrote lovely messages!

This and that... 

• Children continued to write and illustrate books.  We have read a few of them in class... ask your child about the stories!
• Spring eggs were featured on the light table all week.
• Small world and watercolors filled out our week.  

Have a wonderful weekend!  We'll see you Tuesday!
