Thursday, March 28th school will dismiss at 12:00. Please pack your child a sack lunch on this day as there is no school lunch program, but we will still eat lunch before the end of the day.
There is no school March 29th-April 5th for Easter Break. We will return to school on Monday, April 8th.
We had a great day in school today! Check out what we did!
Back by popular demand- the Tricky Mouse Game! This game helps the children recognize letters and continues to work on letter to sound matching.
We learned about Palm Sunday today. We went on a Palm Sunday walk praising God and singing Hosanna!
We stamped with yarn wrapped around blocks today! The creations the children made turned out great.
We continued to practice counting and number recognition in the block center. I placed various papers with numbers on the papers. The children worked together to recognize the number and make a tower containing that many blocks!
"I see a crack here. That is not safe! It could make the building fall!"
"It looks kinda bendy here, we might need to add more tape."
I asked the children how we could resolve the safety issues they found. Of course, most of the solutions were, "Add more tape!" :)
Allowing the children to look critically at their hard work and decide how we can make it better allows the children an opportunity to learn valuable social skills that will benefit them throughout their lives!
We also practiced matching beginning sounds with a fun collaborative game!
We stamped with jelly rings today too! What fun! This activity helps the children to not only express themselves with creative artwork, but also provides an opportunity to refine those fine motor skills!
We practiced rhyming too! The children did a FANTASTIC job with the rhyming game we played today. Rhyming is a pre-reading skill!
