Parents,
This morning we ate breakfast. Afterward we created structures with oval Lego's, made frogs jump, moved pom poms from place to place with tools, and created a thank you poster for a donor that donated a large amount to my class for us to purchase educational toys. During circle time we determined that it was windy, put the wind sock over our tree, counted to 18 during calendar and continued our pattern, and danced to "Wheels on the Bus". We played outside with our Pre-K friends. We finished the book "Gray Squirrel at Pacific Avenue" for story time. A squirrel puppet helped introduce the book today. For our handwriting segment today we worked with our wood pieces of different size/shape to create Mat Man during a Mat Man song. You will be absolutely amazed with the drawings your children did after this activity. For centers we individually worked with Mat Man and created our own. We also had many different wild animal puppets/dolls in the big toys center. The children worked with them in and around the tree pretending. We had lunch and played on the playground with Pre-K. After rest in my group we'll continue our addition work with the ducks in and out of the pond.
Enjoy this beautiful day!
