We had another great week of learning and exploring. Here are some of moments I was able to capture from the week. We practiced recognizing quantities up to 5, sorting, and grouping by numerals. We had a trial run of making play-doh. We celebrated Sophia's birthday. At the end of the week we went to explore the garden boxes and decided which box we will use for Monday. We spotted an interesting bug which I told the children I would research and let them know what it is. I also found a really neat moth yesterday to share with the students. I love learning about new things and being able to share with the children!!

We had such a busy and eventful week that I almost forgot to share some of the great things I was able to capture. During this week, we finished reading Zen Shorts, and we created our own version of "Stillwater." The children practiced being patient by drawing the outline using water, a q-tip, paper and their fingers to tear the paper. They were challenged at first by having to draw an outline on white paper with water, but they were too determined to stop. As you can tell by some of their expressions, they were definitely focused. Look for the completed product next week. We also had a fire drill that I warned the children about, but as you can see they were excited to see "real" firemen as a few of them stated. They were so brave and even though the alarm went off at the end of our rest time they remained calm. They were very quick to get up and to the door safely. I was so impressed at how calm they stayed. Bread baking and handwork went great this week. I hope you are getting a chance to enjoy the Huck-a-buck bread at home. The children were very successful at creating yarn balls. It takes a lot of practice at first, but they were all able to make one. Our intern, Ms. Susie was determined herself to conquer our plethora of tangled yarns. Thank you to all of the parents that came and helped us in the classroom. We appreciate all of your support. We loving sharing our classroom. Thank you! We have been busy learning and exploring these past two weeks. We've made rainbow bubbles, enjoyed music class with Mr. Reedy, baked bread using honey I harvested from my home beehive, collected things we've found and nature and so much more. If only I could capture every moment I get to share with your children. Thank you for sharing them with me. I am thankful everyday for being a part of SCCS. |
