Another Fun Day


Today the kids really enjoyed doing their M page. We made mittens muddy with chocolate pudding-which they also made. I gave them the option of painting with their fingers or a giant marshmallow. Most of them stayed pretty clean by using the marshmallow-Garen gets the award for getting chocolate pudding over most of his body and Carter wins the award for being the most worried about getting it on him. :)

Also today we laid down on big paper and traced our bodies, then filled in the face, hair, clothes, etc. I guess laying on a piece a paper to be traced is scarier than I thought so we had some brave helpers lay down for the kids who choose not to. They turned out pretty interesting. We will finish coloring them in on Monday and then you're welcome to come down and take a peek at some of your kid's artwork that is hanging up.
The class loved playing the game, guess what body part this is and who it belongs to. (I zoomed in on different parts of each kid and printed the pictures).
Today was our first attempt at cutting. When you have the opportunity please practice this skill with your child. We will be using the scissors often and I cant do hand over hand cutting with 6 kids at the same time.
We missed Kristinah today, the class wasn't the same without her!
checking out the hamster, Jerry-

First Day of Preschool

The kids did amazingly well today on their first day! There was no crying and no fighting, I couldn't have a better group of kids! They all loved singing new songs today. We talked about the letter S and it's sound and made Shiny Snakes. We also talked about sharing and making friends with the book, The Rainbow Fish. Then they got to add glitter to their own fish. We also painted giant jellyfish.
If you don't see any art projects coming home it's because we are using them to decorate our room and brighten things up.
I think we're going to have a great year!


We had seaweed jello and gummy fish for snack today-

Beautiful Junk

Trash or Treasure?
Before you throw it away, ask yourself “could the Preschool use this?”

· Milk carton lids
· Any greeting cards (if used, send only the blank side)
· Any craft items (beads, buttons, foam, scrap material, toilet paper rolls)
· Large boxes-refrigerator size (call before bringing)

If you think of anything just ask. You never know what materials can be used for learning purposes.
