Our Super Week of Friendship!

Monday we decorated our handprints using bingo daubers. The daubers are always a favorite in our classroom and offer a fun, different way to paint. These handprints are now decorating the bulletin board in our classroom. You can see this in person during our open house on October 2nd.

Tuesday we made a friendship chain. It took lots of small motor skills to color in the small letters and cut on the lines! 

 

We learned about wax resist on Wednesday when we colored the land of our Earth with green crayon and then painted over it with blue watercolor paint. We then added a pattern of boys and girls. 

We wrapped up the week with our Super Hero Dress Up Day and it was...Super! You can see pictures on our photo gallery page. We talked about how each one of us are super, that we all have different talents, and together we make up a super class!

Kissing Hand & Families

This week we read another Chester the Raccoon story that told about how mommies and daddies never run out of kisses and love for their kids, no matter how many kids they have.

On Monday, we assembled a Chester the Raccoon and these are decorating our classroom.

Tuesday we watercolor-painted an owl like the owl teacher in the story. We glued the handprint trunk of our family tree and added leaves for our family members to the tree on Wednesday.

Thursday we put our family photo on our family tree. These creations are now decorating our classroom too.  Your original photos were returned in your child’s red folder this week.

Remember, next week we come to school for five days...Monday through Friday! We also have picture day on Friday!!

 

We've had a fun first week!

Our week has been so much fun! We are beginning to learn the routine of a school day. A lot of skills are being developed already including direction following, turn taking, staying in line, sharing, manners, listening, sitting still and much more. These are huge accomplishments in a room full of energetic 4-year-olds. We are so proud of all the kids!!!

This week we learned all about Chester Raccoon and the Kissing Hand. We learned that even though we are away from our mommies and daddies, they still love us very much!

Please note that the kids will start pouring their own drinks very soon...which means we are in for a lot of spills :) Be sure your child has extra clothing in his/her backpack.
We were able to snap a few photos of the fun during our crazy first week. Also, we have first day of school pictures posted on our Photo Gallery Page.
