We prepared for one of our daily homework activities today in small groups. Becoming successful writers begins with our very own names. We focused on using an uppercase first letter and lowercase letters for the remaining letters in our name. It’s time to transition to lowercase letters in our writing. Please put this into practice during this activity at home. Your child’s homework folders will be coming home in their backpacks next week.
Where can you blast off into outer space, explore new worlds, meet important people from the past, dive deep into the depths of the oceans and swim with a humpback whale or alongside an ancient sea turtle? The classroom library! Our small groups took us to the classroom library today as we learned about all the different books that are available to read during free choice time. It’s one of the favorite gathering spots in our classroom during the school year.
You can become anything you dream in of in a good book!
Welcome to Preschool! We have been working on procedures, routines, and adjusting to the new classroom environment.
Every morning, we answer our Question of the Day on the smartboard before choosing a center for free choice.
The rain may have kept us indoors but the weather didn’t stop our fun! We worked on our gross motor inside on the balance beam and slide.
During small groups we practiced how to hold our crayon with our thumb and pointer fingers pinching the top of the crayon. We learned about and traced circles while strengthening our fine motor muscles.
Also during small groups we explored our Handwriting Without Tears program.
At the end of our morning we stretched our bodies and relaxed our minds during yoga. What pose was your favorite??
We began reviewing our numbers 1-10 and one to one correspondence in our math groups today…hawaiian style.
We have been long awaiting this day and it has finally come! Our Pre-ker’s had a great first day of school. We reviewed the procedures and routines of our classroom through sequencing activities to get us reacquainted. We can’t wait for a great year!
What do we do when we arrive at school?
We kicked the year off right at our Back to School Carnival! It was great to see everyone again after a long summer. We’ll see you very soon…
Today, on our last day of “Let’s Pretend!”, our little campers learned about pirates! They made eye patches and parrots that sit on their shoulders! The little campers decorated the parrot’s feathers with sequins.
Look at all of our pirates!!
Yesterday, on the fourth day of “Let’s Pretend!”, our little campers pretended to be athletes! All of the girls wanted to be ballerinas and make tu-tus while the boys wanted to be football players and make football wreaths. The girls had their hands painted pink!
That tickles!!
I dressed perfectly for the day!
The boys had their hands painted orange and black. Hopefully their parents are all Bengals fans!
That's my handprint!
Yesterday, on the third day of “Let’s Pretend!”, our little campers read Maisy Dresses Up by Lucy Cousins. One of the characters dresses up as a king, and our little campers wanted to do the same! First, each made a crown!
Then, each little camper decorated their own shield!
It was fun to watch the little kings and queens walk around the classroom wearing their crowns and shields!
