Welcome to our Wednesday...
We had fun while improving our small motor control using geoboards!
More fun setting up and problem solving with our ramps and balls!
Madelyn painted a fun picture to say "hello" to 2026!!!
We loved that Tricky Mouse came to visit us our first week back after break! Today he brought shapes and colors. But, he couldn't fool us, we knew all the shapes/colors and found him every time! Recognizing/identifying shapes and colors are early math skills.
We headed to the church sanctuary for chapel led by Miss Steinbacher! She reminded us that even though Christmas is over and we've celebrated Epiphany, we can still be a "star" by showing Gods loves and telling others about Jesus!
Today we introduced the letter "S" and number "2"!
We remembered start your letter "at the top" then little curve, turn, little curve to write an "S" and big curve, little line at the bottom to write a "2"! Then we came up with words that start with "S" and found "2's" around the room!
Anytime one of our friends thinks of a word that starts with "S" we can add it to our big letter. Or, if at home, your child sees a small picture or item that starts with an "S", bring it in and he/she can tape it to our big letter!
Wow! Another perfect day to get our wiggles out on the preschool playground...
Mrs. Helmkamp visited again today to read us the books nominated for the Missouri Building Block Award. Today we enjoyed 3 of the books, then voted for our favorite of those three. She will then read the "winning" book again tomorrow with 2 new books. We will continue this until we have a "winner" from our class!
We have a new favorite...the book with the most votes today was "Ploof"...
Time for small groups (centers)!
With Mrs. Mudd we began work on our special art project for National Lutheran Schools week that is coming soon. Each friend improved small motor control as he/she peeled and placed 10 small foil star stickers to his/her paper. Tomorrow each friend will paint his her whole paper with watercolor paint, and finally sprinkle salt on the top. After the paintings dry each friend will shake off the salt and remove his/her stickers to reveal a "Starry Night" masterpiece!
We improved small motor control as we weaved laces in and out of lacing cards!
Snow outside has yet to arrive in January, so we got to make "snow" for our sensory table today. Each friend was given 1 1/2 cups of baking soda and a 1/4 cup of hair conditioner. Then we got MESSY!!! Mixing, squishing, smooshing, and squeezing until the conditioner was all mixed in. Once finished we can play with "snow" where it is nice and warm, and it won't melt!
As we returned from Christmas break, everyone was excited to tell all about his/her Christmas! So, we improved our writing and story telling skills as we drew pictures and/or wrote about something special he/she did (or received) over Christmas!
After our hard work during small groups, we got our bodies moving on the parking lot playground!
Thanks for stopping by!
