On their way to the beach.

Marble wanted to have tea parties at preschool, so I put out some small cups, a teapot and a jar of crackers. Add a few friends and instant tea party.

Tiger made some tools to fix our robot....

Tank loves to build the train track....

St. Nicholas dropped by on Dec. 6th and filled our boots while we were resting.

A book and chocolates!

A nice quiet window seat to read his sound books.

Making Christmas decorations!

Everyone felt like painting at the same time....

Mouse is very pleased with the pretty colour she made....

Princess is working on her phonograms

A little number work with a friend.

We have been making a lot of paper airplanes lately. We all have our favourite models. The children are learning all about the forces involved in flight.

Mouse has a new skill, using the hole punch. She paired this with last weeks new skill cutting ribbon to make her own creation!

Mouse was so proud to show her work during our morning meeting time

Tiger wanted me to write his Christmas list on the board so he could copy it....we could only put one item as he insisted on giving a full description, he then copied the whole paragraph.....amazing how much a child will write when they are writing something that is personal (by the way it took seven pages)

Tank made a motor boat by taping a block on the back of the empty carton.....then the people went for a ride.

Little Foot made large circles on the chalkboard

"I have a plan how to make a boat out of cardboard. I need a clipboard."

"I'm building a boat you can sleep in"

Marble had fun experimenting with colours on coffee filters.....she used markers, paint, food coloured water and a spray bottle

We are having a lot of fun with this book.....

Learning lots about thrust, lift, drag and gravity this week!

A little Christmas baking at the Play Doh table...

A quiet moment in the afternoon...time for a little tea

Tiger has been working on this model of a steam engine...it has 10 steps and will take a few more days to complete, today he began some of the painting.

The tape is still the big interest at the boat building table for my 3yr old girls.....

And the boat building begins......

Snow works great to cook with......

Horses in their stable....

Every child is an artist!

Princess and Marble were busy designing a boat they wanted to build.

A little help from Mom during our Lantern Walk....the rest of the pictures were too dark unfortunately.
