Our First Week!

We could not have asked for a better start to our school year! How lucky are we to get to teach such awesome kids? They are quickly learning our routines and school rules.

 Here are some of the things we had fun doing during our first week:

• Learning all about the letter "A"
• Making letter As with ants all over them
• Reviewing colors and focusing on the color RED
• Reviewing shapes and focusing on the shape CIRCLE
• Singing lots of songs in Music Class
• Learning about all that God created during Sanctuary

Things to work on at home with your preschooler:

• All preschoolers must go to the bathroom independently which means they must be able to handle their clothes, getting on and off of the potty, wiping thoroughly and flushing, washing their hands without assistance. Please practice at home with your kiddos.
• We are starting to learn about the days of the week! You may hear them singing it at home :) here are words to our song. It is sung to the tune of "The Addams Family".

There's Sunday and there's Monday

there's Tuesday and there's Wednesday

there's Thursday and there's Friday

and then there's Saturday.

 We found this large Cicada on our playground! Most of the kids loved checking him out. It was a perfect addition to our Bug unit this week!!

 One of our centers this week involved the kids digging for toy bugs and using magnifying glasses to study them.

 Story time is even more fun around our new circle time campfire!

            Here is Mason practicing writing the letter "A" on our dry erase art easel!

We are learning to hold our pencils and crayons correctly while practicing writing the number "1".

A couple of reminders and info for next week:

• Please send in $1 for your child's water cup if you have not already :)
• Zelma Bailey is our star student next week!! Please send in a snack everyday for 14 students.
• Starting next week we would like for the kids to wear the color of the week on Thursdays! Send your kiddo to school next Thursday in PURPLE if possible.
• Our letter of the week will be "V".
• Our number of the week will be "2".
• We will also be focusing on the TRIANGLE and the color PURPLE.
• Next week's bible verse is: "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord" Romans 12:19

Thank you for sharing your children with us. It's going to be an AWESOME school year!!
