FUN OUTSIDE IN THE WINTER

It's been a record setting year for snow in the Twin Cities. That hasn't kept us from enjoying the outdoors! Here are a few pictures of the children living it up in the backyard!

HI HO, HI HO IT'S BACK TO SCHOOL WE GO

We're back in school and it's fun to see our friends again after the Christmas break. There is so much snow in our backyard that we are having a hard time walking around in it. What a silly problem to have! The custodial staff had to snowplow a path for us out to the "emergency tree" and up to the sidewalk on top of the hill. It helps us walk around and it also makes a great sliding path! We learned a little about polar bears earlier this month and it is clear that our January weather is perfect for them!

Right now we are reading some of our favorite nursery rhymes and fairy tales. We have lots of puppets, flannel graph figures, dress up clothes and castles to help us retell our favorite stories.

The Orange and Green Classes are learning fun songs for their program which they will be giving on Thursday, February 17. It takes a lot practice to do a good job. We love repetition!
