Welcome back to preschool...I pray you had a relaxing Labor Day weekend!
One quick reminder before we look at our day...
Parent Ed Night…Understanding and Responding to Early Childhood Anxiety:
Tuesday, 9/12 @ 6:30 pm in the Zion School Commons
Presented by Amy V. Maus, MSW, LCSW of West County Psychological Associates (see Sycamore for additional information)
Here we go...
Hard at work, improving small motor control using rubber bands on geoboards!
Edie began decorating her birthday crown that she'll get to wear later this week!
Avery wanted to color too!
Chase and BB completed our rainbow (now hanging in our classroom) reminding us that "God keeps His promises"!
During morning meeting, we noticed our weather tally changed from August to September, and that our August pie graph was filled in. We learned what a pie graph is and discussed what the different colors meant. We decided we had the most sunny days and the least cloudy days. Comparing data and understanding more, less, and the same are early math skills.
To wrap up morning meeting, a special friend arrived for the first time this year...Tricky Mouse! Tricky Mouse brought shapes with him today. You see, Tricky Mouse, hid under a shape (while we squeezed our eyes shut tight). We then had to figure out which shape he was hiding under. If a friend chose "square" we would say together...
Tricky Mouse, tricky mouse are you in the square house?
If yes...woo hoo, we found him. If not, another friend would choose a different shape, until we found that sneaky mouse! Identifying/recognizing shapes is an early math skill.
We enjoyed chapel in the church sanctuary, led by Pastor Fieberkorn, reminding us all about God creating the world!
We watched/read a story on the smart board, "Harry the Dirty Dog". Our friends loved this book! If you get a chance, check it out at your local library and read it with your child at home!
We took full advantage of the breezy, overcast day for large motor time outside!
With having a shorter week, we enjoyed a second free choice time, in place of small groups.
Check out just a few of our choices..
We had the best time on the parking lot playground! Especially since we had a little extra time outside before lunch today...
Have a great night!
