My favourite time of year! The children are getting excited too! We have been reading Christmas stories and singing Christmas songs at circle time. I had a great time this morning watching the children as I did circle. Freya loves my songs, as soon as the story started, she was gone! Edison stayed until about halfway through the story, when Grace, the dog interrupted. I asked her to leave, and Edison followed her. He was giggling and petting her right behind me, but Oden never took his eyes off the book, If you take a mouse to the movies, by Laura Numeroff. I thought they all did what I expected of them developmentally, and I'm glad my circle time can meet all of their needs as they are not forced to sit and listen to me!!
I don't think I had a chance to update last week... we got a boogie board from Scholastic which is an LCD writing tablet. The kids love it. They can draw on it or practice letters, spelling words, and then erase it with the touch of a button. Even the babies are enjoying it, and so far the stylus has not gone into anyone's mouth! I also got my books with CD's set up beside the CD player for the older children to listen to. They like that! I will change the books and CD's for them too after they have listened to these a few times!
