It took some of us longer than others to warm up to the idea of petting some of these creatures but by the end everyone had pet at least two animals. I was very proud of how gentle the class was with Mr. Tom's special friends.
See you Friday!
What an exciting morning! We welcomed a new Little Owl to our class today and had a visit from the Critter Guy and several of his animal friends. We also began learning about shapes and before the day was through we had spotted several around the school. This week our centers are focused on playing with shapes. On the playground we enjoyed the swings. We also tried to find some shapes. We were really good at finding circles, triangles, and squares. Try looking for shapes in your environment this week. They are hiding everywhere! Back inside we found shapes around our room with Tootsie. Then we got to stamp some shapes in paint to make a shape collage. After washing up we headed over to see Mr. Tom, the Critter Guy. He brought some exciting animal friends for our to meet. If we were comfortable enough he even let us pet them. We met Rip the Snake, Elvis the Toad, Tessie the Rat, Ralph the Turtle Dove, and Wilma and Fred the Hissing Cockroaches! It took some of us longer than others to warm up to the idea of petting some of these creatures but by the end everyone had pet at least two animals. I was very proud of how gentle the class was with Mr. Tom's special friends. With only a few minutes to spare before lunch we used do-a-dot markers to stamp out some shapes. This is a great activity for hand eye coordination. Friday should be another fun day. We will be shape sleuths and go on a shape hunt. We will search high and low for some runaway shapes. We will also continue with our scissor skills snipping some confetti!
See you Friday! Comments are closed.

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
