Funny Faces and Friends!

There were no winter blahs at the community center this week! Well, maybe a few...WE WANT SNOW!  We made up for mother nature's lack of snow by making our own!

Learning about emotions...

Making snow out of ivory soap and toilet paper was "snow" much fun!

Snowmen or penguin?

The SHARK kids played a dice game where the first kiddo to build their penguin was the winner. These were just two of the cool penguins we ended up with...

Nothing warms our tummies like homemade pancakes and syrup! The second graders love cooking with Miss Madalyn and Miss Lesa!

Winter and Weather!

The Leapfrogs enjoyed a fun week of Winter Fun! The tumble track is always a big hit!  

I Tumble For Ya....

Our arctic animals friends needed a shelter so we made some really fun igloos and snow caves...

Storytime with Miss Mindy is ALWAYS the best! Miss Mindy visits us each Tuesday  from the Snake River Library for storytime (that is also open to the public)! She reads to us, sings fun songs with us, shares her puppet friends with us, helps us shake our wiggles out, and always a fun activity to go with our letter of the week! Miss Mindy always gives each child a brand new book of their own once a month as well. Can't wait to see what next week's book is...

The weather chart was pretty fun to use last week since the weather changed just about three times a day!

Flannelboard faces were a silly way to end a day...

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...
