We did it! I am so pleased with how the children settled it to school today. The few tears we had only lasted a minute or so. My goal today was to familiarize the children with our room and how we do things. Thank you all for your patience as we worked out the kinks in drop off and pick up. Hopefully Friday will be a bit smoother with no rain! We started with some fine motor work. We made celebration necklaces today in honor of our first day. Lacing is a wonderful fine motor skill that really puts little hands to work. As you can see by everyones faces they were eager and determined to get those little beads on the string. The trays help define individual work space and keep things tidy. The boys and girls enjoyed exploring the room. I was excited to see how wonderful they were at sharing the toys with new friends. Playdough trays captured our attention for almost 25 minutes. This is also a wonderful and engaging way to build those fine motor muscles. In addition to fine motor skills, we explored some dramatic play while working with the playdough. Several children made birthday cakes. We sang "Happy Birthday" to each other and pretended to make a wish and blow our candles out. It was a wonderful opportunity to help develop some oral language skills as well. We capped off our day with some lunch and some eager talk about how Mommy's and Daddy's were going to be picking us up soon. Today was a big success and I am so proud of our little owls. Friday, we will meet at noon at the picnic table to the left of our playground. Feel free to park out on that side of the building. Bring a lunch to share with your child and we can discuss what the year will look like. Our meeting/lunch will not take more than 25 minutes so those that need to pick up siblings from other rooms will not be late.

Why Blog?Here you will find little snippets of our days together. When my children were in preschool and would come home I would always ask, "So, what did you do today?". All they ever said was, "Played." That didn't tell me much. I hope this blog will be a place to share what we have done and help you ask more directed questions of your child. You will see first hand just what we do after you kiss your little one goodbye in the morning. It will also be a great place to visit and see just how much your child has grown and learned throughout the year. Archives
