Happy Friday! October is flying by and we have been doing lots of fun activities!

This week we focused on spiders and bats along with orange, ovals, and the number zero. We did lots of fun fine motor activities and tracing practice to write zeroes and ovals! They loved our spooky Halloween crafts this week; popsicle stick bats with glitter, we put beads on spider legs, name webs, and puffy paint ghosts! 

We also did lots of fine motor activities to practice our finger strength! These ideas can all be done at home as well for some extra practice. We matched capital letters to letters on a big worksheet, q-tip painting shapes, writing shapes and lines on a whiteboard and using q-tips to erase it, and using shape patterns to create jack-o-lanterns. They love doing hands-on and engaging activity to learn!

I'm so proud of how well everyone is learning our school and classroom rules. We are also being very good friends and learning how to play nicely with each other. We sorted through green choices and red choices and we will continue to work with these choices all year! 

Have a great weekend,

Happy Friday!

We had another great week!! Everyone is adjusting so well and learning our routines! This weeks theme was apples, so we learned how apples grow, the different kinds, and different types of ways we eat them! We got to taste test red, yellow, and green apples and then make applesauce!! They loved seeing the inside of the apple and how we make the applesauce, which smelled amazing!! We also pretended to make apple pies using our apple sensory bin! 

We also focused on the color red and circles for this week. We practiced tracing circles and going on a circle hunt around the room. We also went on a red hunt around the room. For art this week we used the apples to make apple prints, ripped up construction paper to make apples, and used our dot markers to dot apples! We read fun apple books like "Applesauce Day", "How Apples Grow", and "Ten Apples Up On Top". 

Important Reminders:

Have a great weekend,

Hello everyone! We had an AMAZING first week! I loved seeing everyone's smiling faces walking in! 

We did a lot of fun activities to get started this week! We colored big crayons and learned how to take care of our crayons. We also used cars to paint school buses and then read "The Kissing Hand" and painted our handprint. We went to our fun specials and made lots of new friends! They loved getting to play in our centers and learn our circle time routine.  We are getting the hang of unpacking our backpacks, using the bathrooms, and walking in the hallways. They are such fast learners, next week will be a breeze for them! We read some books to help us adjust like "The Kissing Hand", "Pete the Kitty Goes to Preschool", "Puppy Preschool", and "The Pigeon Has To Go To School".

Have a great weekend,
