Group Meeting: Yesterday, your child received a note asking for a family picture to be brought to school. Today, a few children brought their pictures. They told us a few things about their family and showed the picture to us. We will do this all week until we have a picture of everyone. Thank you!
Story: We reread the story Peeny Butter Fudge from last week. Before we started, I asked the children to help me make a list of everything that the children did with their Nana. Then we read the story. Afterwards, we added the things to the list that we had forgotten.
Small Group: We are learning how to hold the crayon correctly and color a small area. We colored stars and fireflies in our HWT workbook.
Large Group: We played a game called "Freeze". I scattered letters of the alphabet on the floor. When music played, the children were asked to dance around the letters. When the music stopped, they were to freeze. If they knew the letter that they were next to, they were to name it. If they didn't know the letter, we identified it for them. Next week, we will begin to learn about the letters of the alphabet.
We also learned the song "There's a Dog in the School". Ask your child to tell you about it.
Art: As some of you probably can tell, we have added beads and plastic lacing to the art table. We have also switched the paint to gold, silver, yellow, and orange.
Snacks: The morning class had pretzels, cheese, and juice brought by Payton. The afternoon class had yogurt and juice brought by Allison. Thank you!
