Hibernation Day and other fun stuff ;)

Hello Outstanding Preschool Families,

We have another fun-filled week hibernation week ahead! We will wrap up this week up with finishing our hibernation theme. We have been reading Karma Wilson's book "Bear Snores On" and we will end our week with a Hibernation Day. Each child can wear their most comfy pajamas as well as bring a favorite hibernating animal. We will pop popcorn and have hot cocoa too! We will play some hibernation games too!
Hibernation Day for SEALS: Thursday Jan. 26th
Hibernation Day for PENGUIN and POLAR BEARS: Friday Jan. 27th


PLAYDOH Recipe:
This week I made "sparkly white play-doh" to mimic snow as next week we dive into the theme of Winter and Snow. Some of the Polar Bears wanted me to "tell mom and dad how to make this stuff." I told them I would post this on the blog so here is the recipe for really EASY play-doh:
1 cup of salt
1 cup of water
2 cups of flour
1 TBSP of cooking oil
Food coloring or glitter (optional)
If you want to use food coloring, mix it in with the water before adding it to the other ingredients. If you use glitter, I mixed it in with the dry ingredients before adding the water.
Mix all the ingredients together and knead the mixture until it is dough and pliable.

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK:
This upcoming week is Catholic School Week. Our open house is January 29th from 11:30- 2:00 pm. If you know of anyone who is searching out preschools, please feel free to invite them to our Open House on Sunday.

Have a super duper week! God bless.
Mrs. Burd and Mrs. Bloom
