We had a great Tuesday at preschool!
Two quick reminders first...
There is NO school on Thursday, 10/27 for Parent Teacher Conferences. (See email from Zion sent Monday with instructions on how to sign up for a conference)!
There is NO school Friday, 10/28 and Monday, 10/31 for fall break!
On to our day...
We began our day with a special check-in! Each child completed his/her "October My Name" for his/her portfolio. Each friend could choose whether or not he/she wanted to use his/her name tag for guidance! Some of us have become pros while others are just beginning to learn...and that's okay! While each friend wrote his/her name I took special note of :
pencil grip
right or left hand
copied name or wrote from memory
We then finished up morning meeting with Wiggle Worm...he is back!!! Today he brought with him uppercase letters on "community helper" cards. If they got the wiggle worm, the whole class got to wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. But, when I said, "Freeze!" everyone had to stop wiggling and freeze. Our friends were having fun getting to be "wiggly" in the classroom, but they didn't know they were learning self regulation! It's hard to stop and freeze when having so much fun!
If a letter is picked, that friend told everyone the letter name and the letter sound!
Our first real rainy morning, so we got to enjoy large motor time in the commons. A chance to get our bodies moving, indoors!
It was the BIG day we've been waiting for...animal mask making day!
We finished our STEAM activity all about making animal masks! Today we got the chance to let our creativity flow as we used many different materials to make the animal mask of our choice! Many might not really look like the animal he/she chose, but I let them do it ALL by themselves ;o)
Stay tuned to see our finished masks...hopefully later this week!
And...it's been a bit since we've gone to the gym...future basketball pros???
During Jesus Time we remembered that God protected Moses as a baby, as a boy, and as a grown up! God is always with us wherever we go, protecting every one of us in all that we do!
Hope you check out our day again tomorrow!
