Story: The Kissing Hand is the story of Chester Raccoon is who off to his first night of school (raccoons are nocturnal). Chester doesn't want to leave his mother. Mrs. Raccoon teaches him a way to remember that she loves him even when he is at school. She kisses the middle of his hand and tells him that when he misses her that he should put his hand to his cheek and remember that "mommy loves him". Ask your child to tell you what Chester does next.
Large Group: Yesterday, we learned about the wooden pieces that we will use to make letters, big lines and curves and little lines and curves. Today, I put the pieces in a bag so that they couldn't see them. Then one by one, the children came up front, closed their eyes and allowed me to put a wooden piece in their hand. By feeling the piece, they were to identify it. All of the children did this very well and enjoyed watching their friends try to identify the pieces.
Art: We added pine cones to the art table. The children thought of ways to decorate them. Most chose glitter glue but a few painted them. They are drying over night.
Snacks: The morning class had Krispie Treats and juice brought by Jordyn. The afternoon class had cheese, crackers, and juice brought by Mason. Thank you!
Here's a few pictures from our day!
