Week of September 11, 2023

 

We were so busy making friends in school this week!





We celebrated our first birthday in PreK-3!
Happy Birthday to our sweet friend!


We learned about birthdays in our All About Me Unit too!



We LOVED Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!!!
And had sooooo much fun acting out the story with our own classroom "Tree"!!!




Then we worked on our own initial LETTERs!!!
(FYI: It's the first step in learning to read and write our names!  shhhh... Don't tell your little scholar  that they are learning while having so much fun!!)





Our Five Day Friends did such a nice job on their individual Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Trees!

These photos are a little throw back to our first day of school when we colored our special certificates  and worked for the very first time as a class!!

Our FIRST Show and Tell was a HUGE HIT!!!


We were SO IMPRESSED with how beautifully everyone's Star Posters turned out!  Great Job PreK-3 Families!!!  We LOVE your Masterpieces!


And your little public speakers LOVED sharing them and learning about each other!



We are reaching new heights with our gross motor development in PreK-3 this year!














We really do "have a ball" playing on the playground!



And the sandbox... WOW!  So much fun!!







Some may have complained about the heat this week but we LOVED our "COOL" Sunshiny School Days!  


We loved gazing into the mirror and deciding what color hair and eyes we have...







Have you heard all about our "Silly Dance Contests?!?!"



Inside playtime in SO MUCH FUN too!















Our Five Day friends loved playing School Item Bingo!


And they did so well on their first glue stick activity!


And here it is...
Our INCREDIBLE  2023-2024 PreK-3 LINE UP!!!!


We are going to have a spectacular school year!
Be sure to check back next week for another glimpse at our fun-filled school days!

Weekly Recap:

We had such a fun week learning all about ourselves as well as one another!  We have been working hard on a special surprise that the children will be bringing home soon. Be sure to have your little author and illustrator share it with you (HINT, HINT!)!

The children all did such a wonderful job sharing their amazing Super Star Posters with one another!  I can't wait to see their reactions when they see their posters on display in our classroom on Monday!  Everyone did such a great job coming up with a poster as unique as their child!

We also had a blast reading and acting out one of our favorite books, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and learning about our names and initial letters!
