I've also included a few of our favorite videos from the week in case your child would like to see them again. The alphardy abc video will be one that we will listen to on a regular basis to help with our letter sounds. The "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" video was the singing version of a book we read this week. Definitely a favorite!
We made fun headbands for our first day.
We talked about a "few of our favorite things"...
We worked on tracing our names.
We worked on making different shapes and lines to show our handwriting readiness.
Mrs. Susie was kind enough to do some hand-painting activities with our kids this week. We made coconut trees with our own "palms" and then added the letters in our name to them. Look for these to be hanging in the hallway soon!
One of our independent stations was to build letter trees like we saw in our book, "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom". We used blocks, popsicle sticks, and magnetic letters to build them. We made some as a class and also individually and then counted to see how many letters we could stack on top before it fell. Our class tree was able to fit 12 letters before it crashed!
We also discovered that since our letters were magnetic, they would also stick to our magna tiles for building new things as well.
We made new friends and played together in the classroom.
We checked out all the fun activities in the Minds in Motion room. So much to do and a great way to get our wiggles out and our mind moving in the right direction! We try to squeeze in outdoor play and MIM time every day, but when the weather is really nice, we spend more time outside while we can! Before we know it, it will be too cold for that option!
We were able to enjoy some sunshine each day this week! We managed to miss all the rain!
Can't wait to see all these sweet faces back again next week! Mrs. Susie and I are looking forward to it!
