Village House Singing

Butterflies and a few Caterpillars prepare for their trip to sing at the Village House.

We sang Jingle Bells, Away In A Manger, J-E-S-U-S, A Cold Winter's Night, Jesus Loves Me, Jesus Loves the Little Children and We Wish You a Merry Christmas.  The program was thoroughly enjoyed by those at the Village House.

Fun with Parents

We LOVE parent volunteers!

Isaac's mom was helping Caterpillars make bracelets.

Aiden and Lyla's dad was helping some Buterflies with their engineering.

Center time and teamwork

Nate,Sidney and Kelly make lunch. Nate is easy to cook for...he will eat anything.

Wesley and Carson make center time safe as police officers.

Naomi,Claire, and Robyn work puzzles.

Big puzzles take teamwork.  We finally got the Nativity put together.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had quite an extended week of Thanksgiving projects, including Hand Turkeys, Indian headresses, necklaces, and special Turkey Treats, in preparation for our Feasts Monday and Tuesday.

Our Feast Tables were pushed together and decorated with special Pilgrim hats and runners of even more hand turkeys.  Our room moms outdid themselves with yummy snacks.
The children cut out leaf shapes and wrote on them the things for which they are thankful, decorating our classroom even more.

Famous artists here?

Artists at work!  The Butterflies created beautiful water color paintings this week.  

Great use of fine motor skills.

Stop,drop, and roll!!! We finished Fire Safety week with visits to(Butterflies) and from(Caterpillars) the BV Fire Department.  McGruff, our puppet fire safety dog, sang songs for us.  We learned all about the help we receive from fire fighters. During the firefighter's visit to the Caterpillar class Mr.Josh showed us how he gets dressed to fight a fire.

Happy Halloween!!!  Both classes had a great time Trick or Treating the Bella Vista Town Center this week.  We had lots of merchants participate.  We even saw police cars.  Next week is fire safety week and the color is red.  Individual pictures will be taken here at school as a fundraiser next Wednesday and Thursday.  The digital photos will be available for $5.00 each.
