Our question for the week was, "What should we do if we get sad or scared at school?" We read The Kissing Hand and Wemberly Worried and talked about what helped each character feel better about school. We discussed what makes us sad, scared, and happy and what we can do at school if we're sad or scared. After reading The Kissing Hand, we made our own Chester raccoon. The afternoon class cut out their large heart and then glued everything together, while the morning class just had to assemble theirs.
It's so nice to have artwork up in the classroom again!
We also started jobs this week. This cutie was very excited to be the calendar helper!
During our Read-Aloud time, each sweetie was able to act out Little Miss Muffet. We also worked on taking turns and names during this activity. After each child had their turn, they were able to pick a friend to go next by saying that person's name and asking them, "Would you like a turn?"
They loved this activity and several of them even acted it out on their own during play time.
During the closing Read-Aloud, we used musical instruments. Both classes LOVED this activity!
Ms. Lindsey, our social worker, started play group with our class this week. Each Wednesday she comes in and we work on following directions, taking turns, and working together. Here we used a drop of lotion to stick a cotton ball to our noses. Then, we all had to blow the cotton ball off our noses. This can be a tricky activity!
We also taught the morning class about book time expectations. During transition times, they can go look at a book quietly until the whole class is ready to move on to the next activity.
These two sweeties had so much fun seeing how high they could stack the pegs during play time. They worked together to keep the tower in one piece and were so proud of the results!
We ended the week by celebrating this cutie's birthday!
I hope you've had a great Labor Day weekend! I've enjoyed having an extra day to relax and re-energize!
Thanks for stopping by!
