Parents,
This morning we ate breakfast, made silly faces with magnetic eyes, mouths and noses, and played with different vehicles from around our community, like police cars and fire engines! We also worked with small colored cubes and made designs like robots and animals. We created magnificent pieces of art with our Creation Station materials, and had a lot of fun gluing different objects on to our masterpieces. During circle time, we decided that it was really windy outside, so we placed the wind sock over our tree, and felt wind on our face with a fan. During calendar time, we counted to the number 25, and determined that the color of our number should be black, according to our pattern, and then sang and danced to "Lettercise!" We went outside with Pre-K and played ball and frisbee with our friends. During story time, Ms. Miller read us "Umbrellabird's Umbrella," because the letter of the week is "U." For centers, we made towers with our blocks, and then used fire trucks to rescue the burning towers. We also dressed up as firefighters and made sure to extinguish all the fires around the room with our huge water hoses. We ate lunch with Pre-K and went outside with them on the playground. This afternoon, we will be going over to the Pre-K classroom to finish our counting in 1's, 5's and 10's with our hand prints, and to count pigs!
Have a great night!
