iT's TuEsDaY

 Happy Tuesday! We had so much fun sticking together and having fun today. We welcomed our friends Ms. Julie and Ms. Jody into class today. Our table center was our Alphabet Island game. Our motor center at the carpet we put a snowball IN our spoon, walked across the balance beam, and put the snowball IN our snowman. Of course when we ran out we had to scoop the snowballs OUT of the snowman! At our sensory center we hunted for the letters of our name IN the sensory table. Some of us are really good treasure hunters! Building our names is getting so easy and speedy fast for our friends now. At group time we read the book The Mitten by Jan Brett and worked together to tell the story of WHO is IN the mitten. Ask your kiddo how the animals came OUT of the mitten! For gross motor time we practiced going IN and OUT of a (body sock) tunnel and put puzzle piece in the puzzle. In order to get IN, the kiddos had to answer questions (animal puzzle pieces laid out and asked kids to find the rhyme, beginning sound, characteristic of animal, animal sound, etc.).

Celebration!

Happy Monday! Today we started something new before dismissing to go home. Instead of reading a book or shaking our sillies out, we are going to start celebrating our successes for the day! We start off by dancing to Kool & The Gang's "Celebration" and then move into talking about something to celebrate that happened at school. Because it was the first day, it was a little difficult to think of something to celebrate. I imagine by Thursday the ideas will be flowing! Enjoy the dance party from today's first celebration!

Cookin' in the Mud Kitchen

  It's always fun to watch kids engage in pretend play at school. One of my favorite places to observe their play is on the hillside in the mud kitchen. It is a place that every child seems to know exactly what to do with the materials inside. Today, L took the time to problem solve a few things and show off her cooking skills in the kitchen.  She started off by serving some of her friends and then getting back to work. In the video you can see how she navigates the environment with ease, but also takes the time to problem solve where she will get more "food." She encounters some barriers, but with a little guidance she pursued and stuck with the activity most of our time out on the hillside. She made comments to her friends, asked questions, and engaged in a lot of self talk.  Pretend play is such an important part of development for all young children. It expands play skills and gives them a little taste of what the world is like outside of school.  Have a safe, fu...
