Happy Holidays!

Can you believe our first semester of school is almost over?? We have been busy bees learning the colors RED, BLUE, YELLOW, GREEN & BROWN, as well as learning all about the first three days of creation. Every day we are learning how to play and share nicely with our friends and practicing our fine motor skills, matching, sorting and problem solving at centers. I hope you've caught your little ones singing around the house because we have been practicing our songs at circle time and during music time. 

Here are a few of our favorites:
ABCs
Hickory Dickory Dock
Baby Bumblebee
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Jingle Bells
Deep and Wide
Jesus Loves Me
