This week we continued our Community Helpers unit. We also celebrated Spirit Week!! Let's take a look at the activities the kiddos participated in this week.
Community Mural - This week the kiddos completed their Community Mural. They worked together to make houses, a school, a hotel, a police station, cars, trees, stop signs, and a road! The Pre-K kids worked hard on scissor skills and creativity. The mural is hanging up in our hallway, please take a look!
Mystery Reader - This week our Mystery Reader was Mrs. Sara McGuire. She is the Director of Development and is the Yearbook Co-Sponsor.
Self-Portraits - It was very exciting to watch the kiddos create their self portraits this month. The children are starting to focus on the details. They are beginning to notice their eyebrows, dimples, and the highlights in their hair. One of our students even started to think about what is inside of his body!
Indoor Recess - It was a very cold week so we had recess in our Gross Motor Room. In the Gross Motor Room the kiddos are able to run around and climb. They also have the opportunity to play with trucks and dramatic play items.
Language Arts - This week we read the book "When I Get Bigger" by Mercer Mayer. In the book Little Critter dreams of the day when he will be big enough to go to first grade, dial phone numbers by himself, or camp out in the backyard. We discussed that there are many things that we can do when we are older that we can't do right now. We focused our journal entry this week filling in the blank, "When I get bigger, I am going to ________." The children's responses included: having a family of their own and telling their kids what to do, becoming a police officer, and being able to reach things off the very tall shelf. The kiddos are getting much better at drawing a picture that matches their response.
Math - Emergency Vehicle Clothespin Number Match
Spirit Week - The kiddos loved dressing up for the different themed days! I think our class favorite was PJ Day and Beach Day!
