G is for Giggle

Today our letter focus was the letter G.  We read a funny story about "Little G" and all of the silly things that she collected in her sound box ... including goats, grapes, grass, a gorilla, glasses, goggles, a goose, guitar, and a golden egg.
 
The preschoolers liked to "giggle" at the dancing gorilla and goat!

For Show-&-Tell of the letter G... Abby brought Goofy and Elle brought some glasses.

 For Show-&-Tell about Christmas ... Connor brought a picture of Jesus and Brennan brought a Christmas book.

 We were able to sing lots of fun Christmas songs today.  Here we are with our Jingle Bells.
 
We pretended to be snowmen and then we all melted away in the snow.

 We also sang Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star ... not necessarily Christmassy, but the preschoolers love it!

We practiced our fine motor skills by cutting out red noses that we could put on Rudolph. 
Cutting with scissors is something that each of the children could practice at home!

 
 Then we got to play "Pin the Nose on Rudolph."

 For snack time, each of the children were able to frost their own sugar cookies.  Some chose stars and christmas trees, while others chose reindeer, snowmen, stockings and bells. 
This was a yummy treat!



 We also played a little math game (Shut the Box) for our gift exchange.  Preschoolers had to roll the dice, flip the tab over of the number they rolled and then pick the corresponding present that went with that number.  

 Everyone loved opening up their gifts!  Thanks for sending such for things!
 


Preschoolers also had fun decorating their very own personalized Elf!

We had fun celebrating our Christmas theme today. 
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas break and great New Year!
I'll be sending out a January newsletter via email soon:).
