Happy 4th birthday, Daniel !

When Daniel was.....

0 years old he liked to sleep
1 year old he liked to drink his bottle
2 years old he liked to dance
3 years old he liked to ride his tricycle
and now that he is 4 years old he likes to build a snowman
​

After we sang our special classroom birthday song for Daniel, he walked around the birthday table 4 times. The birthday committee, Hugh, Saul and Frannie were excited to finally gift Daniel his birthday portrait. Thank you to Daniel's mom and dad for reading us a hilarious Elephant and Piggie story about ice cream story on a beautifully frigid day outside.  

Exploring new techniques in the classroom ...

As part of Daniel's birthday committee work we explored  Stop-Motion Videos. We used the app Stop Motion Studio on our school iPods to create short videos. The app is simple and easy to use. The children enjoyed creating their own videos with their lovies and toys at school this week. If you are interested and would like to check it out at home as well, follow the links below to find the app in the Apple App Store or on Google Play.

We started to introduce  digital drawing this week. To create these amazing digital drawings we are using the app Tayasui Sketches on the iPad in combination with a Stylus Pen. Many children shared with us that they at times use an iPad and/or Stylus Pen at home as well. This is an interesting and fun way to strengthen fine motor abilities. If you are interested in exploring this further at home, you can follow the links below to download the free app.

​Have a wonderful long weekend and we will see you again on Tuesday!
