Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year, especially in a class of active, excited three year olds.


We've begun our celebration of the season with stars and trees made from a most familiar shape - the triangle.


We made lovely candles (that can't burn us) for the window.


We painted with sticky, shiny corn syrup to make a sting of Christmas lights.



Our fine motor skills were exercised and working hard this week.


We even "wrote" the word TREE with stamps. We are recognizing that words are made up of letters and are able to read many names from our name cards at group time.



We hammered in our sensory table - Santa's workshop has nothing on us!

Our first ornament of the holiday was made from fruit loops to share with the birds (if we didn't eat it ourselves on the way home).

More excitement to follow these next few weeks - we can't wait!
