What a great experience!!! The children were able to make observations, predict and explore all while having fun. They saw a show about electricity and some were even volunteers during the show! I think their favorite part was the multiple elevator rides! Thanks for trusting me with your child! They really did have a blast!
I hope everyone had a nice a relaxing break with their families! I know I did! However, I am glad to be back. This past week we worked on one to one correspondence using dice, buttons and tweezers. The children used the tweezers (fine motor) to pick up the buttons and place them on the dice (one to one) and counted how many they had in total. Others used playdoh and toothpicks to practice counting and number sense. We also worked on building letters and shapes. The children used straight and curved line to build letters and make shapes on the carpet! I did add a few photos of children who were writing on their own during work time! Love it!!!
Wishing everyone a safe and relaxing winter break! Enjoy your time with family and friends! Look forward to seeing you on Monday, January 7th! Here are some pictures of the children creating bubble art. Super fun and super messy!!
Below are some pictures of activities that we have been working on over the past couple of weeks. Plus we added a sand table to the classroom and began working on reading to someone during Daily 5.

A note was sent home earlier this week requesting a second piece of documentation that provides proof of residency including one of the following a phone bill, cable bill or satellite bill. Please send this in next week.
This week we worked on building our names using different types of materials such as playdoh and building connectors. We also discussed what parts make up a letter….curved lines and/or straight lines. This helped the children identify what they needed to use or create in order to make their letter. This is a great activity to do at home with your child!
We had a special visitor come to our classroom this week…. Mr. Paul “The Critter Guy”. He brought different animals for the children to learn about, see, touch and hold such as a doves, a lizard, bearded dragon, mouse, chinchilla and snake. I took a lot of pictures!! Enjoy!
