Our exploration of the holiday season continues this week. Today, the children in our Wild Things preschool class were busy at work creating crafty gingerbread houses!

The Preschool Cool Cats are learning about fairy tales this month and made magic potions! Each group used measuring cups, pipettes, tongs, pitchers, and large mixing spoons- tools that allow the children to build their fine motor muscles. The necessary ingredients for these potions: flour, rock salt, liquid watercolor paint, herbs and spices, water, and the final ingredients: vinegar and baking soda!

The Pre-K Javelina class learned about St. Nicolas Day which is celebrated in Holland on December 6th. Children leave their shoes out and St. Nicolas comes and brings them treats in their shoes. We decided to try it and each left a shoe out, and look what happened!
