Highlight of the Week: Holiday Party
After all the prep was done, it was finally Holiday Party day on Wednesday!
Santa & Mrs. Claus at BMS!
Holiday Party Prep
We began the week with preparations for our holiday party on Wednesday. The children were presented with a tree made out of hollow blocks. This inspired them to decorate it with loose parts, a hanukiah made out of clay and candles, and drawings.
The children also made a card for Santa and Mrs. Claus that said “Merry Christmas and Happy Christmas.”
Pajama Day
Everyone came to school in the pajamas on Thursday. We opened up our presents from Santa, made pancakes, watched The Snowman, and drank chocolate milk.
Social Emotional
We revisited our project from last year about kindness. This week we focused on what it means to be kind. Revisiting this word and project reminded the children about the meaning of kindness. The week was full of kind words, kind gestures, and gentle bodies; showing me that they had the word kind in the back of their mind.
Happy Birthday Noam!
We celebrated Noam’s 4th birthday! Her parents came in and read some Elephant & Piggie books (which the children LOVE). After the story, Nora presented Noam with her birthday portrait made from loose parts. Then it was time for birthday high fives, lunch, and a PJ Masks birthday cake!
Art
This week we painted with frozen paint. It was a cold but fun experience! We also worked with clay and cookie cutters, and created winter inspired art using paint, glue, and salt.
Happy Holidays!
