We started off our day with an exciting display and message from Neige. Neige had made a snow angel in salt (we think) on a baking tray and had a letter addressed to our class. We opened the letter together, and found 8 tiny little seeds (some of us think they may be chocolate chips!). The letter explained that our Elf had begged Santa to let him bring some magic seeds to plant, and now we have to plant the seeds in a jar and sprinkle them with salt each day. It says we must be patient and wait for the seeds to grow and it might take a few days! We were so excited and all sat so quietly looking and reading the letter together.
We then had morning exploration time, and some of us worked on some patterning winter painting. We then did some dancing with Igor, a French monkey who sings and does a dance with naming the different parts of the body and instructs us to dance in French! We had our welcome song and snack. We had an indoor recess today, our class did Cosmic Kids Yoga (great free yoga stories on youtube) or free draw. We then had brain gym and calendar routine. We did some alphabet singing, and talked about the sound the letter 'U' makes in French, along with a little rhyme. We then practiced our song for the performance and did some other French Christmas carols. We then had gym with Mme Sunny. We came back and drew in our Elf journals.
This afternoon we will be having a story, Pat le Chat (Pete the Cat) and then literacy choice time. Followed by a visit from Paul et Suzanne. We will then brainstorm about what we would hear if we went on a nature walk outside and do some drawing and writing of the things we may hear. We will have free exploration time to end the day, along with some snowman art.
