RED Day!

Today in our 3 year old class we learned about the color RED.

TWO people wore RED shoes!

We had lots of RED shirts, RED bows and RED flowers, too!

Don't forget to wear something BLUE next Friday!

Breakfast with a Book

Thank you so much for sending breakfast this week- we had so much fun reading our books while we ate our cereal! We'll have to do it again sometime soon!

Apple Art

Today we worked on an apple art project to go with the apple poem we learned last week. They turned out great! (and I am excited to have a project on the bulletin board!) We had a great day today!

First Day of School for Three Year Olds!

WOW! Today was our first day of school with the three year olds and they are JUST SO CUTE! AND they have a lot of energy! We had fun writing the letter A, learning a new song and poem, coloring the number 1, having pretzels for snacks, talking about school rules, and making a magnet clip. It was busy and fun!

Thanks for sharing your child with me! I love love love it! :)

Have a great weekend!

Second Day of School!

When I said I was going to update this blog more often when school starts, I wasn't kidding! Our second day of school was just as exciting as the first! The kids seemed a little more comfortable, and maybe a bit more "chatty". :) We are still working on the rules, and I know they will get better and better at being in school. If your child says he or she had "to change their card" just know that they did a quick time out and then tried harder to follow the rules. We have a great class and it is going to be a fun year!

Today we learned our "A" poem:

"Way up high in the apple tree,

Two little apples smiled down at me.

I shook the tree as hard as I could-

Down came the apples

MMMMM they were good!"

We did some cute actions with the poem and then got to work on writing the letter A. Your child should have brought home their "A" worksheet. If they didn't finish at school, have them finish tracing the a's.

We also worked on a "First Week of School" book that will be sent home tomorrow and celebrated a birthday. Life is busy in preschool!

With the weather being so nice, we may be outside at the end of class. We will usually be on the south side of my yard, just come through the gate and we'll be there!

Thanks so much for sharing your preschooler with me!

First day of school!

Our first day of school finally arrived! We had a great time today and I am excited for the year! We talked about rules and why they are important- we read the book "The Day the Awful Aardvarks came to School" and talked about what rules we need in our class. Here is what we came up with:

1. Be good
2. One person talks
3. Be a Super Sitter
4. Be safe
5. Be kind

We'll keep talking about the classroom rules and will work on them everyday! :)

We also decorated our "Poem Folder" and added our first song/poem to it. Have your child sing you the song we learned:

"Today is a wonderful day, for I am going away!
Not to the circus, not to the pool-
Can't you guess? I'm going to school!"

And last, but not least we made a "homework clip" to stick on your fridge or magnet board. You can clip up your newsletters or the papers your child brings home from preschool!

We had a great day- can't wait for tomorrow! :)

Our Classroom

Our classroom is finally ready! It turned out so cute...if I do say so myself! (hee hee hee!) I love it!
