JCA Day 67 GINGERBREAD HOUSES!!!

WELL........today was the day we decided to make GINGERBREAD HOUSES!!!!

Everyone had their own house "pieces"....

We made icing to hold it all together.....

Needlesstosay.....it was tedious!

They were cute LITTLE houses!!!

After we "built" our houses......

then we began the decorating process.

It certainly was quite a process!

A great and fun time......

was had by all!!!!

We all wanted to eat the gingerbread....

the icing.....

the gumdrops!

and all the little sprinkles!!!

We just had the best time EVER.....

and we failed to get a picture of the finished product!!!

You won't want to miss tomorrow...... We have our Christmas program.

We will tell the story of Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus and all the animals in the stable.

The story from the animals' viewpoint!

It will be short, but very cute and sweet!!!

Then there will be lots of singing......

and then GREAT food!

So come on out and join us at 10:00!

AND HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

JCA Day 66 The Nativity!

All week long.........

we have discussed how Gabriel came to Mary, a very young girl,

and told her she was going to have a baby that she would name Jesus.

It happened just like Gabriel said.......

Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, the three Wise Men, and the Shepherds...

and of course, a donkey, too!

Emilia's mom came today......

and helped us make......

a Christmas gift for our moms!

We had to stir and stir and stir!

But.......shhhhhhhhhhhhh........it's a surprise!

We had fun today with the white boards and markers......

We worked with blends....

and made words!!!

And, finally, Hannah brought us......

the sweetest, juiciest.......

ORANGES!!!!!!

They were awesome!!!

JCA Day 65 Christmas is coming!

Well.....today we started our play practice for the program on Friday!

We weren't too enthused in the beginning.....

Does this look like animals in a stable????

Alot to do and a short time to do it in!!!

It WILL be cute!

We did make time for centers today....

At the horseshoe table, we worked on addition.....

Several different folders of addition as a matter of fact....

And.....sequencing of numbers as well!

At our computer center.......

We worked on all different kinds.....

of phonics!!! Reading......YAY! We are so excited about sounding out words!

At center #2......we worked on a manger scene.....

Our play is about Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus in a manger, so it seemed very appropriate!

Our best surprise of the day.....

Mr. Clay came for P.E.!!!!!!!

We had TOO MUCH FUN!

JCA Day 64 Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty

Sat on a wall......

Together again!

Our Humpty Dumpty's turned out great!!!

Humpty Dumpty!!!

Do you remember it? I bet you do!

We had a little song time today......

Jesus, you're my superhero.....

You're my star.....my best friend!!!

A project for "mom's" Christmas present!

Henrietta is going home with Brady!!!!!!

We had a great day! We discussed Mary and Joseph and Baby Jesus again today.

We talked about how the star led the shepherds and Wise Men to Jesus.

We worked on phonics and on math. Did you know a nickel is worth 5 cents?

Humpty Dumpty was quite a project, but he turned out great!
