Week 7

 How have we already reached the end of September? This week we learned all about the color BLUE! On Monday, we made handprint whales! Check these out hanging on our windows! It has been so fun to make these colorful handprints each week! On Tuesday, we colored our blue book. This is something you can read at home with your little one all about things that are the color blue! We practiced our monthly fire drill and the kiddos did great! On Wednesday, we practice our line tracing! For the next couple of weeks we are going to be tracing horizontal lines! This is going to help them learn to begin tracing the letters of their names! On Thursday, the kiddos worked on coloring objects that were blue. We are really focusing on taking our time and staying inside of the lines. On Friday, we did our obstacle course and practiced making a circle and keeping a safe body when we are holding our friends hands to make the circle. t. We also celebrated our monthly praise assembly! Next week will be all about the color PURPLE! I hope everyone has a great weekend. I will see you all on Tuesday! (Remember there is no school on Monday!) Enjoy the pictures from the week.

Week 6

This week was all about the color GREEN! We spent the week coming up with a list of all things green! On Monday, the kiddos painted a paper bag green to make a frog puppets. On Tuesday, I painted the kiddos hand to make green dinosaurs. Check these out as they are hanging on our classroom windows. On Wednesday, we went to our first all school mass of the school year! I am so proud of how well the kiddos did for our first time. During center time, the kiddos used green bingo dobbers to make their turtle shell. On Thursday, we continued our weekly practice of staying inside the lines when we color and coloring with the correct color. We are currently working on slowing down when we do our work! On Friday, we had fun and fitness Friday! We had our P.E. class where we are continuing to work on our gross motor skills in our obstacle course and waiting our tun while playing duck, duck, goose! I have been working with the each kid on tracing lines in order to start practicing to begin tracing and writing their name down the line this school year.  Enjoy the photos from the week.
