Friday ended our week long theme of make believe. We read the story, The Elves and the Shoemaker and the preschoolers used our play tools to make their own elf workshop! They pretended that they were making their own shoes too. We made elf ear headbands and colored and laced our own "shoes." Lacing was a bit tricky for some of us, but it was good practice to develop fine motor skills.
We're looking forward to this week's theme of fairytales and of course for our celebration of Valentine's Day! Parents--if you have any "treasure" that you'd like to contribute to our classroom treasure chest, we'd greatly appreciate it. Carey and I have been filling it with things from Target's dollar bin or little knick knacks that we've found at home. We're also going to check the dollar store. The kids absolutely love the treasure chest and it's been really successful so far in helping to keep them motivated to follow directions and be bucket fillers!
