August 30- September 3

Wow I can't believe we are already starting the month of September this week! Today we welcomed two new students to our class, Ananya Kandula and Gabrielle Plain. We are happy that they will be learning and playing with us at school!

Welcome Ananya!

Welcome Gabrielle!

We will finish up our all about me unit. We are making special me books and your children are enjoying showing their flags to their friends at school. Thanks for all of your help with our family flag project. We are also continuing to sort in the math center. Some new center items are dress up clothes in the dramatic play center, foam block & an ocean puzzle in the building & puzzle  center,  and finger paint at the art easel. I have found the storychime app on my ipad that the children are enjoying. It is an app that reads a story and uses different voices. There is a 3 little pigs story that they find funny. We will also play with some number and letter apps this week. Enjoy some pics of this weeks new center activities. I hope everyone is having a nice Monday!

All about Me unit and other new things this week

This week and next week our unit is called "All about me!"We are reading books about things that make us special. We are talking about things that we like to do such as riding our bikes or drawing pictures or playing with trians. We are talking about our families and pets and learning that everyone is special and that no two people look exactly the same . We are working on recognizing our names and talking about feelings and being happy sad excited or angry.

Playground teamwork! They were making a huge birthday cake .
They used rocks for the cake & sticks for the candles.

The children love the story "Goodnight Gorilla" about a zoo
so this week we have the story in the center and animal masks.

Foam soap has been so much fun in the sensory table!

We made art projects to go along with these stories. I have also been using our class Ipad to play color songs and play a color game on the fish preschool app. Mrs. Smith in the
