And Preschool Begins!


These first two weeks of preschool have been so fun! It is a joy to have each of your children in my class this year!

Our first week we learned how to be preschool students! We talked about rules, chose our own rules, and then each illustrated one of our rules. We practiced the routine of preschool - ask your child about "chat time" and "center time" (these are the favorites). We learned how to use our white boards, how to take care of books, and how to clean up all our toys when play time is over.

Last week began our "All ABout Me" unit. We read Chicka Chicka Boom and Different From Me for our Balanced Literacy books. Make sure to have your child read Different From Me to you, siblings, friends - they will love the attention!

We ended the week with our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom party. It was so fun! We loved learning about each other with our "All About Me" Posters! We still have a few more posters to look forward to on Tuesday!

I'm so sad, but, my phone has crashed four times this week, and I lost all the pictures I took of your adorable children on their first day, while playing at centers, painting for the first time, looking like blue and pink smurfs from Reese's birthday cupcakes, and our fun Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Party :( Bummer! Don't worry, I'll make sure to keep clicking away and am excited to post some pictures of them for you to see just how cute they are!
