This week we introduced letter T and we had fun coloring with crayons and chalk. We also glue pieces of construction paper. Our children had fun picking the colors they like and ripping the paper into smaller pieces. It’s great to see their end result be so different form one other and how they each put their own style into their work.
For our craft projects we also started with our Valentine’s decoration, which we are going to make into a fun friendship celebration. We used paint and foam sheets. You’ll see them decorating our classroom pretty soon!
As a mention before we have incorporated a new days of the week song and an interactive weather activity to make our mostly cloudy daily reports more fun. Here are the lyrics to the new song:
There’s Sunday
and there’s Monday
there’s Tuesday
and there’s Wednesday
there’s Thursday and
there’s Friday
and then there’s Saturday
Days of the week
Days of the week
Days of the week
Days of the week
The children loved playing with the sand again this week. W e used ladles, big and small spoons, strainers and measuring cups and again they had an amazing time.
Our pre-k class has enjoyed learning new lessons and activities for their independent work time. Everyone is working on something different depending on their needs. Everything from the music maker and sequencing to metal insets and the hundreds board. Although we are not trained in Montessori, it has been great incorporating Montessori materials into our curriculum.
Our January show and tell was this week and it was a great success. Most of students were able to talk a little about the things they brought and showed us how to use them or play with them. They were also great at sharing it with the rest of the class, this has been the best show and tell so far and I’m sure they’ll only get better each time. Please help us in having every child participating next month!
