Thanks for stopping by our Thursday!
We are doing a great job at our new check-in. Each friend decided how he/she was feeling today (happy, sad, angry, scared, tired, or excited). Then wrote his/her name in the correct column! Going forward, I think most friends will be able to do this in the mornings without my help!
We always try to talk about whatever feeling they used. No matter how we felt at check-in, don't worry, we all had a GREAT day ;o)
Many friends are doing some awesome building with magnatiles! A super fun way to improve hand-eye coordination while recognizing 2D and 3D shapes! We had quite the creations once again today!
We LOVE painting, and it's perfect for practicing/improving our writing skills!
We finished up morning meeting today with 8 different crayons...we looked at each one very closely and locked them in our brain. We noticed that all the crayons were different colors! I covered them up with a towel and took 1 or 2 items away. What was missing??? Recognizing and recalling is an early cognitive ability.
We were great listeners today at chapel led by Mr. Debrick. We were reminded of the story of the three wisemen, and our greatest gift of all is JESUS!
It was a cold, windy, cloudy morning...with a playground still covered in slippery ice/snow, so more commons fun for us!
We continued our wind STEAM activity today. Each friend grabbed their straw from their cubby! Today we tried using the wind without and with our straws to move items on the tile floor. We discovered that everything moves faster on the tile than on the carpet!
(Disclaimer...there was no sharing of straws or objects for this activity)
Time for small groups (centers)!
With me, we sorted pom poms. I did my best to only observe (for third quarter math portfolios)!!! Success for many was being able to sort by color, by size or both with no assistance. Success for others was being able to sort by color or by size, with some guidance!
With Mrs. Lorenz we continued creating our valentine bags for our class party days. We used markers and stickers (great for improving fine motor control) to decorate in preparation of Valentines Day!
It was time to put together mini rhyming puzzles. Find the 2 pictures/words that rhyme and tada...they fit together to make a little puzzle! Rhyming is an early literacy skill.
We wrote our winter and valentine words in our journals. A great way to practice writing letters that are not in our names!
We opted for gym time again to get our bodies moving before lunch!
Have a great night!
