Pink Day!

Yesterday for Pink day we read several fun books about the color Pink, we painted with "salt paint", used pink play dough, used letter stamps and pink ink, and had a sensory experience with pink shaving cream! The children really seemed to have a good time yesterday! Again thank you for the participation with color week!



Tasting New Things

Last week we tasted lemons for yellow day and pickles for green day! Lemon tasting was very entertaining! For green day the students got to taste a sweet pickle and a dill pickle, then they placed their name card on a graph that said sweet and sour. I hope you all will come to Open House on the 30th to see our charts!

Red Day!

Red Day went well! We did lots of things centered around red. We did our daily news in a red marker. Most everyone wore their red clothes, we introduced sorting by color, we starting using stamps with red ink, some of us made a red Tye-dye coffee filter with red markers and water. We thought of several things that were red and made a chart.

Our First Full Week of Pre-K!

This week we have been learning how to use our classroom materials properly. The students have been learning how to play with the toys that are on the shelves as well as clean them up correctly. We are making our classroom rules together. This is always a fun activity for the children. We talk about manners and then we decide together what our rules should be. We will also be taking a school tour to meet the staff that the children interact with everyday. We have been playing games to help the children learn how to walk in a line, and stay in their place. They have done such a good job! The are catching on quickly. I hope they are sharing all the fun things we are doing with you all. Next week is COLOR week! We will wear a different color clothing each day. Please allow your child to participate.
