Dragonfly Preschool


This week has been busy as we prepare for Christmas. Mondays Dragonfly goes with me to MOPS and enjoys the play/preschool group there. Ms. Joan is so sweet and does the best little activities with the kids. This past Monday Dragonfly did a candy cane project and they discussed how Jesus is represented in the candy cane. I will post more on that tomorrow. Tuesday, I helped with Ladybugs class so Dragonfly had one of my friends with her for an hour. When I got back I opened a new manipulative for her and she explored that while I scrap booked with my friend that was over. I haven't scrap booked in almost 2 years so I have a lot to catch up on. Dragonfly also got to see how a lot of my scrap booking tools worked and played with stamps.
Wednesday is gymnastics for Dragonfly. She did so well this week paying attention and following directions. Last night when we got home from piano practice and church, my order from oriental trade was on my doorstep.

I ordered snowflakes for my snow box so now my box is complete!!!! I love the way it looks with all the blue and white.

I also ordered more trays. These are smaller than the other ones I have and will work really well for a lot of Dragonfly's activities. She really likes the snowman pencil grips. I have no intention of using them as pencil grips. They have holes through them so we will use them for stringing and they are different colors so we can do patterns and sorting as well.

Here is her table set-up for today. 1.Glitter snow play dough with snowflake cookie cutter. 2. big and small snowman print out. 3. jingle bell containers with snowman pencil grips. 4. button sun. 5.counting and sorting bears(her favorite). 6. Snow box.
She has yet to enjoy the button sun activity but I am hoping she will like it eventually.

The trays are from oriental trading and lakeshore. The ones from lakeshore are bigger and come in a set of four. Oriental's are smaller and come in a set of six.
