Happy Friday!

We had a great second week of school!

As you know, each morning the children work to sign into school!  This is a great time to recognize our name, learn how to write our name, and even start recognizing our friends' names! 



As we were playing party this morning, some of the friends made labels for the chairs so that they wouldn't lose their spot in the party! 




We headed outside to run and play! 
















Victoria was the prayer leader today, and she helped us say a prayer asking God to bless our day! 

Prayer leader is one of our many classroom jobs.  Classroom jobs help the children learn responsibility and take ownership of our classroom.  


During small group time, we painted a letter D for our classroom door!  The children worked collaboratively to paint the D.  




We also worked together in the block center! 




We then worked with Mrs. Douglas and wrote signs for our bathroom reminding us to wash our hands and flush the potty.  Just as each child is unique, success for each child is also unique.  Success for some children is holding the pencil correctly.  Success for other children is writing letters correctly.  Success for other children is sounding out the words we write.  In preschool, we celebrate each child's individual success! 














During the second free choice time, the children worked to select which painting they wanted to hang on the wall.  They then dictated a phrase or two describing their artwork.  Look for the work hanging in the hallway soon! 

Some friends played with the magna tiles too! 


Wow!  Look how Kiera put the puzzle together upside down!!! 


Other friends wanted to do more collaborative artwork, so we placed a large piece of paper on the floor for them to do just that. 


Look how we are strengthening our fine motor skills at the sensory table! 



During Jesus time, we read the story of creation.  Our God is powerful!!  He created everything!  He also sent His son, Jesus, to die on the cross and rise again to save us from our sins!!

We had a lot of fun in the gym today too!!
