Playing together!

The Caterpillar class is showing us how to play together, even when they'd rather not.  The ball castle is especially inviting, and with 3 balls to use, 3 friends can use it at the same time.  Today, Robert, Isaac and Caden discovered the fun of working together to chase the balls down the path.

Our M art project was mice with yarn tails and sequin eyes, requiring the use of scissors and glue.  David-Lee was so taken with them he made 4.

Red week sharing

The Butterflies had their sharing time Wednesday morning, they are so comfortable standing in front of the group!  Thank you, parents, for editing what we know were probably 100s of red things to send.  It would be helpful if we could limit what comes to school to a single item...do the best you can.  Not worth a major battle!
Thursday and Friday are applesauce days this week, the children will help chop apples and add sugar and cinnamon, when cooked they are 'applesauce', usually a big hit.

Kelly, Wesley, and Charlie were three of the children who worked on their pedaling skills.
Look for the Apple Tree art project - a combination of cutting, gluing, drawing and sponge painting.
The sound of 'M' and yellow next week.

Can you hear me now?

The Caterpillar's second week is off to a smooth start.  Even after a long weekend, they came to school today ready to listen and learn.  Students remembered our routines, followed directions the first (or second) time, and made a straight line to walk to the bathroom and playground.

Babies and phones were a big discovery today.  Many conversations were heard about being at school and going home after story time, between students and between students and teachers.  What a different world these students are growing in!

Butterflies First Week

The Butterfly class is getting to know each other and our new space.  Today Aiden, Wesley, and Sidney decided the doorway between our 2 rooms was too wide, and constructed a wall 'to keep people out'.  There was a lot of teamwork involved, and several engineering problems were overcome(windows? no windows?)  The best part, of course, was the crash when it was time to put all the blocks away.

Welcome!
