Happy Tuesday!  I hope you had a safe and fun Labor Day weekend!

We had a lot of fun today!

We practiced writing our names today!  There are different stages to learning how to write your name.  If your child writes his/her name, but it looks like scribbles or markings on a page to you, don't worry! This is an important part of the writing process!  With time, practice, and encouragement you will see your child's writing become more defined.  








We also practiced using scissors today!  We are exercising those important fine motor skills!








Of course we played with the cars today!





We made different roads and obstacle courses for our cars.  The children are learning to work together!  Block play also lays the foundation for future math learning!










Uh oh!  We noticed that one of our cars was missing a very important part!  

Child One:  "Oh no!  Our car has no wheels!  It can't drive.  We need a car fixer!"

Child Two:  "That's like a mechanic."

Child One: "Oh yeah!  A mechanic- we need a mechanic!" 

The children are learning from each other as well!  


We love creating in the writing center!




These girls cooked breakfast for each other!


We went to chapel today!  We learned that God wrote the bible, and the stories in the bible are true!  Thank you God for loving us!  

We wrote in our journals today!  The journals are special because it is a personal place the children can always write and draw.  It provides documentation for writing development as well! 








We practiced forming letters as we used dry erase markers to trace letters. 





We then drew a picture of a car.  We will draw a picture of a car again at the end of our Project.  I can't wait to see how our representations of cars change as we learn!
