Monsters?! the only monsters in our class are funny colored ones! we learned about our colors today with the help of fun monsters. we made a monster color book. they did great at listening to directions on what to color each one. they are all really good at their colors! then we learned a song about funny colored monsters! we also learned about the number one. they found the number hidden around the room. And we enjoyed show and tell again this week. they shared their toys great at stations!
the words to Funny colored monsters: sung to the tune of skip to the loo my darling

feelings
Today was all about learning about feelings. we talked about different feelings, and then they made those faces. they couldn't keep from laughing! i had them make a face with an emotion on it. they were pretty creative. some of them were sad, or scared, or happy. we even had one that was whistling!
Next week we start on our numbers! And the unit on our amazing bodies! should be fun.
just a few reminders: *no school on Monday for Labor day! *show and tell will be held on Wednesdays and was a big hit yesterday! please try to keep all toys at home on the other days. *if your child is ready to walk into preschool by themselves, let them try. preschool is all about instilling confidence. and maybe that will cut down on the missing-mommy-moments some of the kids have.
thanks again for such a great start to the school year!! I love teaching your kiddos! as always if you need anything please let me know!

New friends
We talked about friends today. How to be a good friend, how we play nice with friends, and how to share with our friends.
They brought their show and tell today and had a great time showing the things they brought, and telling about some of their favorite things. it was fun to get to know each of our new friends a little better!
They drew a picture of the things they like to do with their friends. there were some really good pictures. and the kids were so excited to tell us all about it.
We read the books The New Bear at School, and Giraffes Can't Dance. To finish it all off we played a match game with pictures of our classmates. they loved it!

down by the bay where the watermelons grow...
we just finished up our watermelon unit today!
it was a fun one. today was math. we measured the watermelon with blocks, all the same size. our watermelon was 9 blocks long and 7 blocks tall. then everyone got to pick something in the room and we compared the items to the watermelon. some were taller, some were bigger, most were lighter. it was fun. then we ATE the watermelon! we cut into it and talked about it. and while we ate it we saved the seeds, and counted them after (i resisted the urge to have a seed spitting contest, i wasn't sure how many of you moms would like that. although it would have been fun!) but we had fun counting them :) then we finished the day coloring and cutting out (they were so excited to use scissors!) a watermelon match game. we worked on our numbers counting vs what the number looks like. they did really great!
on Thursday we had fun learning about the watermelon and how it grows. from seed, to plant to watermelon. we took guesses on if our watermelon would sink or float. then we put it in a big bucket of water to find out. It floated the kids thought that was so cool!
watermelons were a big hit in the class!
we will be doing show and tell on wednesdays. every child can bring one item to show the class. that day at stations they will have the option of playing with a toy if they bring a toy instead of playing at a station. all other days i ask that toys stay home (if they sneak into preschool we will just keep them in their backpacks) thanks!! if they don't want to bring a toy for show and tell they can always bring something else you approve of.

our first day!
today was our first day! it was a great day. we had fun and no one even cried! we played a game to get to know our new friends. and then learned about watermelons. we sang Down by The Bay, they loved it!
we went on a scavenger hunt to familiarize the kids with their new classroom. (they really liked the bathroom! i think they each went twice.) funny kiddos.
we will be learning about watermelons for the next week. learning math, science and art with them.
It's going to be a great year!

it's been a busy year already!
This year is in full swing and it's a fun one! we have such great kids this year, makes me love what i do! here are just a few of the things we have been up to.
SEPTEMBER:
we started out the year by learning about our feet with paint! they had a blast learning that our hands aren't the only things you can paint with!
OCTOBER:
we took our first field trip to black island farms! it was a BLAST. we had the whole place pretty much to ourselves. the weather was so nice. and the rain held out and gave us a chance to get to try out all of the fun things to do before it poured on us!! I bet we were a sight to see all running to our cars!
we had a fun Halloween party! the kids looked great! NOVEMBER:
for thanksgiving we had a fun "favorites feast"! the kids got to bring their favorite thing to eat and share! it sure was yummy! :) we had pumpkin seeds, cheese, Pb&j sandwiches, bread sticks, dried cranberries, popcorn, and a few other things. it sure was fun to try everything out! DECEMBER:
we had a fun pajama party and rode the polar express! and we had a book exchange where the kids got to take home a new book. it was fun!
