Today we got to work on our new centers for the morning and in math.
In preparation for the festive season, we are being creative with various winter center activities. For example, we are creating snowflakes, making 3D trees and decorating them with sequins, coloring in festive images, and completing festive crossword puzzles.
In math, many of us were working on our Pattern Palooza challenge, but those of us that finished got started on the new math centers. While some people practiced counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s, others explored more patterning using their names, colors, shape blocks, beads, design sheets, and music.

| Each time a math center is completed, we have to record our findings in our math books. Here is a journal entry of the pattern translated into letter form. |
 |
| We also started building a winter ornament for an art project. We took tin foil and rolled it up into a ball then attached ribbon on the top. Then, we added our first layer of tissue paper and glue. Next, we will have to add another layer of tissue and decorate it before putting on Mod Podge to make it glossy. |
