We began our week playing with friends and making cakes with playdough. We made strawberry cake, chocolate banana cake and stars. For our craft, we continued to tape our photos to the oni background we painted. Our morning free play was cut short because we had a special guest, L’s mom E.
E taught us about calligraphy. She told us we could write Kanji or Katakana, she wrote everyone’s name in Katakana. We learned “Shodo” is the way of writing, artistically and expressively. After learning how to write our names, we were able to do it by ourselves or draw a picture. We gave a big thank you to E and continued into circle time.

Before going to the park, we played with a little bit of snow Shelley gave us from the balcony. We touched, held and made little snowmen! Thank you all for today and see you tomorrow!
