Snacks: Apple slices and Goldfish Crackers.
Circle Time Discussion on Reptlies:
We talked about what reptiles are (cold-blooded animals of the class Reptilia with a backbone. These include: snakes, lizards, crocodiles, turtles, and tortoises.) We talked about animal defenses, camouflage, habitat and hibernation (when animals go to sleep in dens or holes during the Winter). Where do reptiles go in the summer? Where do reptiles go in the Winter?
We learned about L the lizard who lazily licks a lemon lollipop, "l-l-l" is what she says as she licks.
Arts and Crafts: The children had fun licking their own lollipops (Dun Dums) while coloring and cutting out the L shape, and taping a lollipop in Lizards mouth.

We enjoyed Listening to Hibernation Station about all the different animals who "get aboard the train" and begin to sleep during the Winter and reading The Gingerbread Kid Goes to School
(Counting book and Manners) about a naughty gingerbread cookie who plays tricks on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 adults but is eventually caught by a kid who likes to read and eaten by his smart dog!
