Happy 2013!

Welcome back friends!  What a great first day back we had on Friday.  They really impressed us with their ability to sit longer for circle time.  We introduced an activity that we will build on throughout this second half of the year, matching faces with first letters (O is for Oliver, V is for Vivi, etc.)
 Ms. Sue read The Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle as a start to our theme of Nutrition for the month of January.  They did such a great job of staying seated and paying attention.
 Next they each got to feed some healthy food to our friend, Mr. Bear.  They loved this!  They also made their own Mr. Bear to feed at home.  (You probably saw this in their bags.)
We put out some new dress-up items to explore...
The colors of the month are black and white, so they used black markers on white paper.  A few of the kids ended up with some black marker on their clothes, but they are washable markers so hopefully no stains were left behind!
I can tell that 2013 is going to be a great year with these little ones.  Glad to be back.  Happy New year!
