We are back to our weekly (and hopefully more) blog posts. Be sure to subscribe to our feed so you receive our updates when we post. I will start with last weeks activities and work backwards to the beginning of the school year and into the summer as well.
We are off to a great start and I couldn’t be more proud of how Ms. Claudia has executed this year. The children are engaged and everyone has transitioned nicely.
Small group:
Sorting little foam and plastic pieces by color sorting rings by color.
Large Group:
Game similar to Simon Says. Children had to use their listening ears to follow spoken direction instead of repeating what the teacher was doing in front of them.
Played with instruments. We used sticks, they had to count to 3 and then play sticks 3 times.
We also formed a band and played around the classroom and danced.
Enrichment: Aikido with Ms. Pam we learned about personal space and how to fall, back to the basics.
Enrichment: Music with Ms. Kathleen
Project: Learned letter M on Monday and Thursday. Glued blue moons to paper.
Used scissors on Friday, practice how to give someone scissors.
Books:
I’m Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self-Estee" Jamie Lee Curtis
“Harry, The Dirty Dog”
Other exciting activities this week
On Tuesday we visited the library. Thursday and Friday we had show and tell.
Started Spanish classes Thursday and Friday. We talked about colors and numbers.
Anecdotes:
During snack time, while the table was empty Genevieve handed out dinosaurs, one per person. I think she was trying to feed everyone 🙂 She also placed plastic pieces in a line.
Ella told us a wonderful story during circle time about how she put seeds in the ground with her grandpa. How she watered them until it grew into a very big plant that she picked a cucumber from 🙂
