Did you know a hexagon has six sides? Today we worked in the sensorial area with the constructive triangle boxes. We reviewed the triangle box and introduced the small hexagon box. We counted the sides of the hexagon box and discovered that it had six sides. We also constructed a small hexagon, an equilateral triangle, a rhombus, and a parallelogram using the triangles in the box.

We continued to work with the alphabet flash cards during our circle time. The children are doing a great job practicing the names and sounds of each letter.

Reminder: Tomorrow is Jumpbunch and Arts Alive!

On circle we reviewed the object and shape shadow card matching lesson and introduced a new shadow matching lesson. We matched small objects like a paperclip, key ring, safety pin, popsicle stick, clothes pin, etc. to their shadow . The children enjoyed exploring the objects we matched.

A big “thank-you” to everyone who has brought in books to share with the class. The children are always excited to listen to all the wonderful books.

Congratulations to all our Soccer Shot Stars! The children who participate in Soccer Shots received a medal and certificate from their coaches on a job well done all semester.

Welcome back, we hope everyone had a great weekend!

The children enjoyed sharing the fun things they did for their moms this weekend, some friends gave flowers and plants, took mom to the park, bought a phone, and gave a very sharp glass.

On circle we worked with the shape shadow and object matching card lesson in the sensorial area. We matched picture cards of objects to the shape shadow card it matched. Did you know the crescent shape looks like the moon? We learned that the correct name for the “moon” shape is crescent and that an octagon has eight sides.

We hope everyone has a great Mother’s Day weekend!

Today was filled with Cinco de Mayo fun!

Take a look at our chili pepper art work we made using the side of our fists. We also worked in a sombrero number sequencing worksheet. The children colored a sombrero and cut out and sequenced numerals in order to decorate their hats.

The children had a fun time hitting a Minion piñata, trying their very best to burst it open! They were excited to each get a lollipop for trying their best.

Moms and Muffins is tomorrow! Scholastic book orders are due tomorrow.
