"This is the best pajama party ever!" "These are the best pancakes ever." "You make the best pancakes."
It was the best pajama party ever. I love my job but I really love my job when we have our annual Pajama Party. Who wouldn't want to come to work in their pajamas? It's also good for my ego when the kids are telling me how wonderful the pancakes taste. It is a day that is packed with fun and high energy and I love it.
On Wednesday, our MWF classes looked at the cereal box fort and listed how the boxes are the same and how they are different. See if your child can tell you some similarities and differences. Look at the blog photo and see if your child can remember how the boxes are the same and different-- http://metamoracommunityprek.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-impenetrable-cereal-box-fort-version.html
Making pancakes? We have to sing the 'Pancake Song' The tune and words-

The MWF classes also played Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed and Roll Over. Your child can show you how we played these fun games. Good times had by all.
'No Jumping on the Bed' and 'No More Water in the Tub' are two great books to add to your home library. Each has great illustrations and fun surprise ending. When I read a story, I tell the children the author and the illustrator. The children are starting to remember the author writes the words and the illustrator draws the pictures. You might want to include this vocabulary in your bedtime routine.
Our first annual Pajama Party Project was a huge success. Thanks to all who donated children and adult pajamas. We collected 26 children's pajamas and 14 adult pajamas and 3 adult robes. The children's pajamas will be taken to our local shelter and the adult pajamas will be taking over to the nursing home. Thank you so much for your support! Have a great weekend!
