Mrs. Ireland’s Pre-K 4 class is enjoying their winter fun! Here they are working on Christmas activities in play centers. They created snowmen and played snowmen bowling, created Holiday or Christmas art in creativity centers, and also made Christmas cards in writers corner! They also played a fun game in gym called: Turning on the Christmas Lights! Rolling dice and counting to know which light to turn on or off makes math a fun part of physical activity! #PESPantherpride
