The Arctic & Antarctic

We have been learning all about the arctic and antarctic this month. So far, we have made penguins out of our footprints and the aurora borealis (Northern Lights) out of tissue-paper. 

We have been so busy learning,...

...but we are never too busy to squeeze in some fun with rhythm sticks between our reading and math. 

First Week Back

We have had a wonderful first week back from winter break!

Find out next week what we did with those painted feet!!

December at Marlowe

We were so very busy growing and learning this past month!

We were visited by several Mystery Readers.

We decorated some delicious cookies with our Secret Chef.

We also made several fun art projects!

Daddies (and other special people) came for a morning visit.

 

And, we finished the month with Pajama Day -- complete with a story-time surprise. 

 Hope you all have had a wonderful break, and I look forward to seeing you in the new year!

Puppets and Pilgrims

What a great month! We learned all about pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving.

We made several hand puppets -- first, we made a turkey...

...and then, Johnny Appleseed.

We also made a giant pot of Stone Soup.

Well seasoned and delicious. Yum!

Little Ballerinas and Cooking Fun!

Even though we have song and dance during the school day, we LOVE our Thursday pre-ballet class!

We also love having secret chefs come to visit! 

This month we made white-chocolate covered popcorn with sprinkles.

 The children even got to decorate their bag before stuffing it with the yummy treat.

Artwork for Children's Healthcare

Last Thursday and Friday, sixteen little ones put quite some time and effort into making the perfect get well card. Thank you to all the students who generously donated their artwork to cheer up the patients at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.  

Halloween Fun!

We had so much fun this past Wednesday dressing up for Halloween!

We especially enjoyed the surprise pizza treat that accompanied our lunch! Yum!!!
