Polar Express 🚞

We continued to have lots of Christmas fun, but we also learned about trains this week! We finished the week with a pajama Polar Express Day! We made and decorated sugar cookies and drank not so hot chocolate. We celebrated a Birthday! Our VIP shared her poster, some of her favorite things, and mommy joined us for lunch! 

REMINDER- our party is on the 21st from 10:00-11:00 we are asking each child to bring a wrapped children's book for our gift exchange. 

We are having a Parents Night Out on the 22nd from 5:00-10:00 sign up sheet is on the counter in the office with all of the details.

PLA will be closed for Christmas break from Dec. 22nd-Jan 2nd.

Eggs 🥚

 "Chickens Aren't the Only Ones" was the book we started with this week. We learned all birds, insects, most snakes, reptiles, and even 2 mammals lay eggs. If an animal lays an egg it is called oviparious. We made a rubber egg by putting eggs in vinegar. We also did a diversity activity by looking at and discussing the differences in a brown and white egg, and similarities especially how they are the same on the inside.

Circles, Spots, and Polka-dots

Do you have a favorite shape? Mine is a circle... I don't know why, but circles just make me happy! So... when I saw a review of this book about this artist that covered everything in dots I had to have the book and make it a theme of the week! The artist is Yayoi Kusama and yes google had to help us pronounce her name correctly.  It was such a fun theme... we covered our light table area in white paper and the kids covered the paper with dot stickers. So fun!! We are still working on it this week! Bonus... stickers are a wonderful fine motor activity!   "The Dot" is another one of my favorite books. It is an awesome process art book. We had so much fun painting, coloring, and dotting circles!!
