12/4 - New Friends!



Our song for December is sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells"

 We had some friends visit us this week in class!
 We taught them the rules and expectations of our preschool.
We had them sit "criss-cross applesauce" and gave them each a Good Deeds paper.  By giving opportunities to the students to teach someone (or in this case, something) else, I can easily assess their knowledge and understanding of the concepts.  It also motivates the students to hold themselves accountable for what they have taught.

We observed them while we read them a book and gave a lesson.
 We rewarded their behavior with lots of stickers and stamps . . . who knew stuffed animals behaved so well?

This week in math, we made our own patterns.

 I challenged each student to make a very complicated pattern!  
Good Job Ellie!

 We practiced sequencing and our fine motor skills.


 We also talked about recognizing beginning/initial sounds.

We used our sequencing skills and knowledge of the alphabet order to put together a huge floor puzzle.

 We may have done it more than once, and more than twice!


We also got our Big Books out and read words from 
the same word family (mat, rat, cat, fat, etc.)
We love reading!
