Mrs. Weber's and Mrs. Stern's 2 Day Three Year Old Class

Welcome back and a happy 2012 to all of you! In the month of January the children celebrated winter. They made snowflakes, snowmen and we even watched an ice cube melt. We read "The Mitten" by Jan Brett and laced our own mitten. As a class we sang "Once There Was a Snowman" and acted like tall snowmen that melted to the ground when the sun came out. We have been riding the bikes, building with blocks, and climbing in the big room because of the cold weather outside. We have been learning about what animals do in cold weather and the animals that hibernate. We enjoyed reading "Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?" by Eric Carle.

Letters are all around our classroom as we are starting to identify the letters in our names. Everyone made letter necklaces and we even made breadstick letters. In addition the children made playough letters and found letters in the sandbox. We put together alphabet puzzles, read alphabet books and sang ABC songs. We especially enjoyed dancing to the audio book version of "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom," by Bill Martin. We ended the month by bringing in items that started with the first letter of our names.
