Today we used our Smartboard have fun and recognize our names. We reinforced our shape of the month and practiced drawing circles. The Smartboard is a great for fine motor muscles and hand eye coordination as well!

Ms. Penny visited our class for the first time this year! She is working very hard with our preschoolers to create AMAZING art pieces to be displayed at our annual Art Show in November.
When Ms. Penny visits she introduces an artist to the students before working on their art piece inspired by that artist.
Today in preschool we learned how to use scissors safely. Scissor skills are very important in preschool. Understanding the correct way to use scissors is important to stay safe while strengthening fine motor muscles and hand-eye coordination. The preschoolers were so proud of their work today!
While “traveling” to Hawaii this month we learned about their love for surfing. During yoga this week we pretended to be the waves of the ocean and the surfers riding the waves! We did a surfboard craft with two different steps.
Using stencils with Ms. Lori we had fun painting hibiscus flowers and sea turtles.
We finished decorating our surfboards while practicing recognizing the letters of our names.
We reviewed number recognition and worked on one to one correspondence during math groups today. The children did a wonderful job, a great way to start the year.
We reviewed our letters and letter sounds today…beach style of course!
We have been learning about the green sea turtle during our study of hawaii. We had the opportunity to watch baby sea turtles hatch, dig their way out of their nest and scurry to the open sea!
This week we introduced names and handwriting skills during small groups. These cards will be used every morning as daily practice. Ask your preschooler what they learned about how to hold the marker or where to start the letter!
We had so much fun this week in our Early 3’s class! We were able to explore our centers, meet new friends, and begin to learn how our classroom works! We loved using our fine motor skills in the manipulatives center, as well as when we washed the babies in the sensory tub! The transportation center was a favorite, especially when we were allowed to make train sounds! Look at all the fun we had!
