Everyday the kids trace the letter of the week in their special notebooks. Today was our last day for letter C. On Fridays after the kids have traced all 3 sets of letters, they are able to choose a letter sticker to put on that page. At the end of the year, the notebook will be full of the alphabet. :)
Since it was letter C this week and we have been talking about bugs...this week was our caterpillar week. On Monday we read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." We practiced counting all the different foods that the caterpillar ate. The kids practiced tracing numbers 1-5.
We did some more number fun by putting this mixed up caterpillar back in the right order.
On Wednesday we reviewed our story of the hungry caterpillar and the kids helped put the events from the story in the right order. This is a great way for the kids to practice their listening skills. Then the kids were able to make their very own "Hungry Caterpillar" book to take home. We also learned a caterpillar song similar to the "Itzy Bitzy Spider" song.
This was a very exciting week. We had 2 birthdays in one day, one in the morning class and one in the afternoon class.
Here is Madi blowing out her candle.
Here is Grayson blowing out his candle (which is behind the big Kung Fu Panda ring).
This was also a very exciting week because some of the kids filled up their sticker charts and were able to pick a treasure from the treasure box! I wish I would have had the camera out when the kids first looked inside. It was so cute, the biggest smiles I have seen! :D
We were able to watch a little of "A Bug's Life" during our snack. The kids had fun pointing out the different bugs that we have learned about over the last few weeks. I was very impressed with how many they could name!
The kids really liked playing the bee sting game. Kind of like "hot potato." If the music stops and your holding the bee...you get stung!
Best part of 'Fun Friday?' Painting! It will not happen every Friday, but it sure is fun! The kids really enjoyed painting their caterpillars.
*UPDATE*
-The kids are using the glue sticks A LOT faster than anticipated. It would be greatly appreciated if everyone could donate a few glue sticks to the classroom.
-I am still missing paint shirts from a few of you. If you could have your child bring one into class that would be great!
-If you would like to bring in a special treat for your child's birthday, you are more than welcome to. Please let me know ahead of time if you are planning on bringing something in.
-Show and Tell is very exciting for the children. However, please help them to choose ONE thing that is small enough to fit inside their preschool bag.
-If anyone ever has any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask! :)
