School Pictures

School Pictures are back!  We will be sending home the PM students pictures today and the AM students pictures on Thursday. 

Exploration through centers

Students have been exploring through play centers in the classroom.  

Students in the dramatic play center are experimenting with different roles through play and working on cooperation skills with peers and adults.  These students are also able to explore and learn about different cultures in this center.

 Students in the discovery center are exploring, examining and experimenting with different materials.

 In the block area, children are able to construct, create and represent experiences, interact with their peers and develop their large and small muscles.

 In our reading center, children are learning about written print, exploring new words through print and pictures, learning how to take care of books and developing their language skills.

In our art center, students are experimenting with different mediums, expressing themselves through their creations and developing their motor skills.

At our toys and games center the students are using problem solving skills, experimenting with constructing and instructional materials and working on the social skills of sharing and turn taking.

Poems we have learned in class

We have been working on two poems this year in class - Apple Tree and Grandma's Glasses.  Below are the poems so you can continue reciting them with your children at home.  The kids have loved learning them, especially the poem with grandma and grandpa's glasses.  

Apple Tree
Away up high in the apple tree,
Two red apples smiled at me.
I shook that tree as hard as I could, 
Down came the apples,
and mmm! they were good.

Grandma's Glasses
These are grandma's glasses,
This is grandma's hat.
This is the way she folds her hands,
and puts them in her lap. 
These are grandpa's glasses,
This is grandpa's hat.
And this is the way he folds his arms,
Just like that!
 

PICTURE DAY

Picture day is Thursday, October 4th.  If you are needing another picture form, please contact the school office.  Can't wait to see everyone dressed their best and sporting their biggest smiles!

Celebrating the color black

To celebrate the color black, we wore the color black as well as made a night time picture.  To make our night time picture we colored on white paper and then used a black paint wash to paint over our picture to make it look like it was night time.  The kids had a great time with this project.
