Exciting Day!

Today we had the opportunity to share the books we made in Enrichment with our friends in first grade. The children enjoyed reading their picture books to their friends!  They did a fantastic job!

Proud students!

We had a very busy week and some of our friends wanted to share their work. 
Practicing our names and the letter M.

Numbers can be very tricky!  Especially those 2's & 3's! 
These three were able to write their 3 with their eyes closed!  Wow!! 
Look at these fabulous fives!  

Terrific job on these numbers boys!  

Reading in their browsing boxes. 

Practicing cutting...slow down on those lines.  Great job girls! 
Counting minions & rhyming!  
Play dough sculpture. 

I am very proud of the students for their hard work!  Have a wonderful weekend!!

Thank you!

Thank you for coming tonight!  It was so nice to meet some new faces and familiar ones too!  If you were unable to make it tonight I will send home all the handouts and a paper to leave a note for your child. I will share the notes with your child next week so everyone has the opportunity to send a note in. I look forward to spending the next nine months with your child exploring new things, learning a lot and having fun while we do it!

Past few days!

Hello Everyone,  I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We have been very busy the last few days.  This week we learned the letter "Mm".  We have been practicing writing both the upper/lower case letter and finding pictures of things beginning with /m/.  This is a tricky letter to write so we will continue to practice at school.  Please help your child at home too.  We are becoming very familiar with our morning routines and many of the children are doing these jobs without reminders.  I look forward to seeing you tomorrow night at Open House.  Here are some more photos to enjoy of the children engaged in a variety of activities.  
Practicing "Mm" on magnetic boards and then trying it on paper.  
It's a little tricky but with the help of a highlighter and practice we will get it!



A little extra recess time on Monday! 
Balancing on the wiggly beam.



Practicing some rhyming

Practicing numbers 0-10, counting and using clothes pins to mark the correct amount.  This is also a great way to help strengthen our finger muscles by pinching the clothes pins. 


Using our special Minion glasses to read some books.

Quiet working time with a puzzle.

Practicing some numbers with a dice and some friends.  We practiced taking turns, sharing, counting and identifying numbers 1-6.
