Little Elf, Little Elf, What do you FEEL?

Today we learned about our sense of FEEL ... and boy was it a FUN day!!!

We learned about different textures...

...Little Elf helped us learn about our sense of feel too!

Their Santa's turned out so adorable!

We then explored our sense of FEEL and made a mess at the same time!

Ooooo! This felt squishy, gushy, slimy, and oh-so awesome!

It took the kids a minute to really dive into the shaving cream. They had to double check with me that I wasn't making a mistake.... "Are you SURE we can get messy?"

Some of us wrote our  names in the cream....

And some even wrote words from our word wall!!

We then wrote in our journals about one of our favorite things to touch at Christmas Time..... 

What FUN we can have with our 5 senses!!

Little Elf....Helping us with our 5 Senses

Little Elf, Little Elf, What do you SEE??

Yes, SEE was our first of the FIVE SENSES to explore... we thought we'd also learn about the high frequency word SEE at the same time!! Convenient!

We read to the puppets of the classroom as they helped us look for the word SEE in our classroom library!

Then we went to work on illustrating our LITTLE ELF BOOKS!!

Oh, they turned out SO great!

It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas!

We are ALL THINGS CHRISTMAS now! Full Force, I might add.... and OH WHAT FUN!!!

Look how adorable Santa's Reindeer are! We have been loving dancing and singing about Rudolf  and all his heroic acts!

Santa Math!

How big can you make Santa's beard get?

ADD on some marshmallows to see!

After you fill his beard with Marshmallows, it's time to SHAVE them off!

Time to SUBTRACT those marshmallows!

SANTA'S WORKSHOP DRAMATIC PLAY CENTER!!!!! 

 Why, NO! I HAVEN'T seen anything more adorable than 8 kids building, painting, and measuring toys in Santa's Workshop! See for yourself!

Once the toys are made... they go in the stockings hung with care!

Then it's time to build some more!!!
