Week 2 highlights

Hello all...Our second week is done and here are some of the things that we learned. On Tuesday we learned about how to stay clean- especially using a tissue and washing our hands. We practiced washing our hands while singing the ABC song. This gets them washing them for a reasonable amount of time so they can be nice and clean. :) We also started learning our first nursery rhyme- Jack be nimble. We will practice our nursery rhymes on a weekly basis in different ways so that way we have learned it by the end of the month.
Wednesday we talked about how amazing we each are- from our bodies to special things that makes us who we are. The self portraits were too cute!
Thursday was our red day! We played with red playdough, learned a song about Mary in a red, red dress, fingerpainted red apples and made a "red" book. We also read about Clifford the Big Red Dog. Pictures are to come- we think my motherboard on my computer is having problems and isn't working (I am on my hubby's work computer now) so when I have my computer again, I will upload pictures.
Next week we will talk about the number 1, Goldilocks & the three bears on Wednesday and weather on Thursday. We will also we starting with our first letter- "A"!!
Just a note- if you don't allow your child to use scissors- this is a great age to start. Buy a small set of blunt edged scissors and let them cut lines on a paper or practice cutting out coupons or pictures from magazines. Any practice helps their fine motor skills and that helps me in the classroom.
Thanks so much for yor support and all the supplies that have been brought in. Please remember your paper towels or tissues, cups and binder with paper protectors for your child's paper projects if you haven't brought them in! Thanks again- Miss Alisha
