On the playground we enjoyed the slides, climbing the big structure and chasing each other.
Our day began by exploring some of the new invitations to play that were available to work with today. We counted pegs and built towers with them, sorted shapes by color and scooped and sorted in the sensory table. Next, we were off to music class with Ms. Aline. We sang songs about our names and worked on rhythm. On the playground we enjoyed the slides, climbing the big structure and chasing each other. Back inside we painted with paint sticks. I love them because they have such rich color and no dry time. I bought them at Michaels and they would make a great stocking stuffer come Christmas time. We also got the opportunity to use real glue bottles. We discussed how sticky glue can be and how we need to use our hand muscles to squeeze the glue bottle. Controlling the pressure we need to use only comes with practice. We repeated over and over, "Dot, Dot, not a lot." as we worked to fill the bubbles on the paper. Once these are dry we will add them to our Fine Motor Journals. On Monday, while in the garden with some Life Skills students we came across a dead butterfly. He had such beautiful colors. So I scooped it up and shared it with the children today. They were very curious, yet extremely gentle with the fragile butterfly. During center time, the children built with magnetic blocks, worked on puzzles and discovered the dress up collection. Friday we look forward to learning more about shapes and going on a Shape Scavenger Hunt throughout the classroom. See you then!

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
