Announcements:

  • Carnival on Friday!  Remember to turn in your raffle tickets!  If you haven't signed up for a volunteer spot/shift please let us know if you can help - the jobs are easy! 
  • Remember you can eat dinner at the carnival before the concert - we will have taco in a bag and hotdogs starting at 5:30; kids need to be there by 6:00 if not coming sooner, and the concert is at 6:15!  You can also get food after the concert!

Activities:

  • Mortimer the puppet introduced the Letter M!  He had a monkey playing with him!
  • Dora's clues:  pink marker, pink crayon, pink paper -- Dora had a fun song about pink!
  • Mailbox - We found a rainstick inside the mailbox!  A rain stick is so fun to listen to!  We also found out how to make a rainstick:  First, poke a bunch of toothpicks into an empty paper towel roll.  Bend the end of the toothpicks and tape them down.  Put masking tape all over on end and add 1/2 cup of rice.  Tape the roll securely with masking tape and-- you have a rainstick!!
  • Excuse for snack exercise:  snowman match, and match pictures to cold weather or warm weather!
  • We have been busy practicing all of our fun songs for the concert!!  :)
