All About Me

We had a fun first week of school, 
learning all about one another!

Everyone did great and is getting used to the daily preschool routine! I used helpers for Calendar, Weather & Counting Friends and everyone did great. We went over our preschool RULES and reminded the kids to work towards listening and following directions, earning a sticker each day, so they can pick out of the treasure box soon! The kids LOVED music time, everyone had a turn rolling my music dice and singing some familiar songs and learning some new songs! We enjoyed stamping our hand prints on the 10 Little Fingers Poem and decorating our 1st day of school picture to put in our binders! It was still quite hot outside, but enjoyed a little time outside and the kids had fun playing with their new friends! Snack time is always a favorite and we will begin passing around a snack basket this week, which the kids are always excited about taking home! Table time included fun building manipulatives that work their fine motor skills. We enjoyed reading books quietly and I read a couple stories out loud, followed by an interactive game. I had so much fun learning about their "favorites" and we found out that many of the preschool friends have a lot in common & I loved everyone's show & tell!

 We looked in the mirror and talked a lot about how everyone is different, 
but how we are ALL SPECIAL!!!
