What We've Been Up To

We kicked off the week with coloring boys and girls from ALL different countries!
It was fun to see the kids trying to figure out why each of them had a different picture to work color.
They brought their picture to CREW meeting and we discussed the similarities and differences.

We began reading Children Around the World and will continue to read it and learn about children from all around the world!
 
 I had cut out this blue circle last week and had some leftover pieces of torn up construction paper from last year. I had the kids return their picture back to their seat and I placed this on the floor ... they realized after a short discussion that they would be making the world!



They worked together for about 20 minutes and made something spectacular!!!!
 It was wonderful to hear them using words like sharing and you can go next!

 
 We finished our Ten Little Monster books ... they should have brought them home.
We will be singing this song at the September 18 Community Circle -- hope you can join us!
Watch for more details ...


The children did a FANTASTIC job of listening and following directions!
We will be using the computer lab most Thursday afternoons from 1pm - 2pm!



We studied our sense of SIGHT this week and took a Nature Walk to the back of Manara!
The children sat and drew the wonderful things they saw ... grasshoppers, dragonflies, butterflies, bees, grass, flowers, clouds, trees, dirt, airplanes ... and many other things.


 



 
We began working in small groups for Center work.
I had the kids working on WORLD puzzles for our Me On the Map exhibition



 
Hope you enjoyed a glimpse into our classroom!!!!
If you have NOT signed the permission slip for your child to be photographed -- please do so ASAP so that you can see your child on the web-site!
