Our First Birthday !

It is always a treat to celebrate your birthday with your classmates.  The girls decided to make Zoey a delicious playdough cake. 
The next thing we knew, Zoey was going to the beauty salon.  All the acorns and seed pods in the science center wound up as accessories.  Jake was a very helpful assistant until Noor tried to  put a seed pod in his hair......you can just imagine the look of horror on his face!!
Later in the day we had a birthday cake circle with the birthday girl in the middle.
Everyone walks around the birthday child singing.
Then we melt down as Zoey blows out all the candles on her cake and makes a wish!
The last part of the circle is when the birthday child chooses 5 hugs or 5 "potches" (yiddish for a little lovetap on the tush!)  Zoey is getting 5 hugs and a big one to grow on.
Thanks to Zoey's parents for our delicious yogurt and strawberry parfaits!

  1. Hi! I came upon your blogs when I was googling for ideas to turn my preschool class's dramatic play area into the arctic. I was just wondering what part of the country you guys teach in. You're classrooms have the same inspiration about them as ours do. Fun to find kindred educational spirits!
