September Fun!

We have been in school for a Month now and our class is doing great! We have so much fun making new friends, playing in centers and learning during our small groups and circle time. We know the rules at school and we are excited when we earn cotton balls for being quiet, polite, and respectful at school. Everyone is learning to recognize their name which can be pretty tricky when we have lots of names that have the same letters. Enjoy some photos from recent school activities.

The computer center has been a new hit!

Learning to use glue in the art center

Playing with dolls is fun

We change the toys in the block center each week. This week we had a farm set

Lots of buttons in the sensory table!

Playing in the toys and games center

Lots of art! 

Putting Mr. Potato head back together

Trains are always enjoyed by the students!

We read the story Mouse paint and talked about mixing primary colors. Then we mixed colors on our own!

We tossed the dolphin in the bucket and had to say if he went in the bucket or out the bucket

Glitter letters! Everyone is not beginning to recognize the first letter of their name 

We made our letters with handwriting without tears lines and curves and then rolled dough to make lines and curves. We can make letters even when it is hard to write them using pencils or crayons.

Also thanks to everyone who came to the picnic it was so much fun! 

Welcome to 2012-2013 in PreK3!

Hi everyone! Welcome to our prek3 blog! What a whirlwind start to the new school year! Your children are settling in to our daily routine and having a blast learning about all the things we do in PreK 3. During September we are continuing to focus on learning the rules of our classroom,  recognizing the first letters in our names, and talking about our families and things that make us special. I am enjoying getting to know all of your children and look forward to our family picnic next week. Enjoy some recent pics from class activities!
