Self Portraits

To finish up our "It's All About Me!" theme this month, we worked on Self Portraits today:

They did a great job! :)

Bubble Art!

We had a fun "B" day on Friday with the three year old class! The kids LOVED the bubble art we created! We mixed food coloring with the bubbles, and when they popped it made an awesome art project! I hope your child sang you the "Bubble Song"- it is so cute!

C is for Cookie!

We have had fun this week learning the letter C! Today we made pretend cookies.... and we ate plenty of the 'extra' chocolate chips! :) Tomorrow we will be making real chocolate chip cookies for our snack (if you count frozen cookie dough as 'making'- which I totally do!). It will be fun!

P.S. Have your child sing you the "C is for Cookie" song- they have done a great job learning it this week!

Apple Day with the 3 Year Olds!

We had a fun apple day today! We made an apple puppet, tasted apples, drank apple juice, sang a song about apples and used apples in our art project:

(we used apples as stamps to create our art project!)

We also learned about the letter A, the number 0, the color RED, and had show and tell. It was a fun day! :)

School Shirts

Don't forget to bring back your order form if you would like a Smarty Pants Preschool T-shirt! I'll order them next week and we should get them in time for our first field trip! The four year old class shirt will be yellow, the three year old shirt will be blue.

Oh- and a special "thank you" to my super cute model... a Smarty Pants Preschool Graduate! :)

Breakfast with a Book!

We celebrated the letter "B" today with "Breakfast with a Book!

" It was so much fun! :)

Apple Art

We had a fun apple day! Here is a picture of our "Apple Artwork!"

Hooray for a GREAT First Day!

Today was our first day of school.... and it was WONDERFUL! Everyone was so well behaved! It is going to be a great year!

Thanks for staying for our open house today! I hope it answered any questions you may have about preschool. Always feel free to email me or call me if you have any questions or concerns- I am here to help! :)

We learned a fun song today- we will sing it everyday in class. See if your son or daughter can sing it for you:

"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!"

Thanks for your sweet kids. It really was a good day! See you tomorrow!

PS: Don't forget about "APPLE DAY" this Thursday! Everyone needs to bring ONE apple to school. Thanks!

It's Almost Time!

I can't believe it- just a few more days until school starts! Miss Marci has TONS to do to get ready! :)

Our first day of school is Tuesday, September 7th. The morning class goes from 9:30 to 11:30, we will have a short open house with our parents from 9:30 to 9:45, then we will get to work! The afternoon class goes from 1:00 to 3:00, and the open house in that class is from 1:00 to 1:15.

The theme for September is "It's All About ME!" We will be learning all about each other, as well as learning our classroom rules. We will also cover the letters A-D and the numbers 1-4.

On Thursday, September 9th, we will have "Apple Day." Please plan on sending one apple to school with your child that day. We will have them for our snack! We will also do a fun apple art project, learn an apple song, and graph which kind of apple we like best.

I am really looking forward to working with you and your child. As I have watched "my" preschool kids from last year go into kindergarten, it has been such a neat experience for me to hear how great they are doing. Teaching preschool has been a dream come true for me- it gives me the "best of both worlds"- I love teaching and I also love being home as much as I can with my kids. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to work with your child this year!

If you have any questions about preschool, please leave a comment on this blog, or feel free to email me at www.bedingfields@gmail.com. I'll do my best to answer any questions you may have!

Thanks!
Miss Marci :)
