From Wild West to....Winter Fun!

Our SHARK kids ended our Wild West week with a plethora of campfire songs and line dancing! The favorite dance -hands down - was the line dance they learned to "Cotton Eyed Joe." Way to go Lindsey, Lesa, Madalyn, Whitney and Ashley for a great time with the kiddos!


Moving into a week of Winter Fun we started the cold day off with homemade hot chocolate and 'nilla wafers, snowman mosaics, a friendly game of Twister - Girls against the Boys, and hanging out in the water and sand tables...look for our fun with fake snow tomorrow...and we can't wait to celebrate NATIONAL PENGUIN DAY on Friday!

Rumor has it that the boys won, but I'm sure the girls are up to a rematch anyday!

Cute Snowman mosaic...

Water fun at the water table...

One of the kids thinks we should call this the hot chocolate table. I would have to agree since it does look like hot chocolate powder...

Is Winter finally here?

We debated on whether we would be able to enjoy exploring the Winter and Weather theme this week or if we would have to resort to our theme of Spectacular Space instead. Luckily for us, the winter storm that has been predicted for the past couple of days is now arriving. The kids have enjoyed reading about winter animals and outdoor snow activities, making snowman puppets, playing in multi-colored sand at the table, and building igloos out of our blocks. We are hoping to play in snow tomorrow as part of our water table as we learn about the Water Cycle. (If the real snow doesn't come, we're making fake snow - either way, it will be a blast!) I am so proud of our kiddos and the great things that they are doing!

Once there was a snowman...

How many friends can fit inside our igloo?

Three!
