Just a reminder that there is no school on Friday, September 1st
and Monday, September 4th.
It was so wonderful seeing
so many of you Wednesday night! Thank
you for coming! I know you have had lots
of information thrown at you during the past couple of weeks. Please do
not hesitate to contact me if you need any clarification. The kiddos will LOVE to hear your messages of
inspiration (we will read them out this coming week. If for some reason you did not get to do one,
let me know and I can send the paper home in your child’s zippy pouch or you
can write one when you are here at school.)
This week we celebrated
another birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUSA!!!!
One point of interest…I
have watched your cuties become more and more independent as the days have
progressed! Really encourage your child to practice being independent at home
as well. Feeding themselves, starting to
help dress themselves, doing up their bags, blowing their noses, and also
starting to practice things like using safe scissors to cut will really help
them out! J
This week some of our
learning included…
*reading the book Mouse
Paint (along with quite a few others such as A Color of His Own, Dog’s
Colorful Day, Little Rabbit’s Color Book, and Pete the Cat (which has turned
into a lot of singing! J) and finger painted with
the three primary colors. Can your child tell you what they are? The kids
pulled out a basket of color books and we just started reading and doing!!!!
*the kiddos were SO
INTERESTED in mixing colors, that we are going to do a special experiment next
week…. (we starting looking for the materials…)
*there was a wonderful discovery into
our letters and sounds—some of us made name necklaces out of beads, some
stamped letters into clay, some used letter stamps, some found different
letters in books, there was pointing out of letters in books, making sounds for
letters we saw…explosion of learning! We might have to go on a letter walk…
*we had a lot of building
going on this week! We had a group that
moved from legos, to magnatiles, to blocks to castle blocks! One group decided
to make a castle. J
*we talked about our
families and will be presenting our family photos throughout next week.
*some of our students began
making a playground for Mango and Oreo Cookie. It was interesting to watch the
learners observe the pigs inside then cage and then wonder about what they
would love to play with or on outside the cage. They also went to Ms. Harvey,
one of the high school art teachers to ask for some supplies.
*we explored light at color
using the light tables, overhead projectors, and screens.
*one of the trees on the
playground had falling flowers—very interesting natural provocation with some
interesting discussions!
And of course…much, much
more! J
