Feb. 24, 2009

Parents,
I want to celebrate with everyone that Ms. Avots is slowly beginning to take over different parts of our day as the teacher. She is doing a wonderful job!! This morning we ate breakfast and did our fine motor work by working with Mat Man, connecting people, stamps and stamp pads, and nuts and bolts. During circle time we determined that it's sunny today, put the big yellow sun over the tree, and felt the warmth of a flashlight. We played outside with Pre-K. Ms. Avots finished reading "Raccoon at Clear Creek Road" with the raccoon puppet. During centers Ms. Avots began working with students to create their own raccoon puppets. We'll continue working on them tomorrow. I worked with a group doing Handwriting Without Tears. We practiced drawing a slanted line, just like the slanted line on the letter "R". We did a song about starting our letters at the top. We created the letter "R" with our sticks and then we practiced writing the letter "R". Just before lunch we had time to do the "Wood Piece Pokey" as a group. We had lunch and played on the playground with Pre-K. This afternoon we'll toss actual duck toys onto a pond to see how many land in the water and how many land out of the water.
Enjoy your night!
