Hi Everyone!!

We hope everyone is having a fabulous day! This month the children learned about the different seasons and particularly about “The Fall”. We read books and discussed some of the changes that are evident during this time of the year. This morning, we read the book “Johnny Appleseed” and created some beautiful fall trees to go on our classroom board. FYI….Don’t forget it’s Picture Day tomorrow!! Get ready to say cheese!!

Thank you Mr Jason for helping us get into the week with lots of fun and laughter. Today he brought along Roscoe the Raccoon. Roscoe needed our assistance in dental hygiene. As you can see in the pictures he was speaking very close to Mr. Jason’s face. Mr. Jason was having a hard time breathing………..We love our time with Mr. Jason because we get to mmmoooove, around and imagine ourselves as different people, things, or animals. We get to be really loud or really soft. Like when we’re singing, (if only you could hear our voices). We also travel different places; camping, on a bear hunt or alligator hunt. We also packed our bags and went on an airplane ride. Mondays would not be the same without Music with Mr. Jason.

Hello Everyone!!

It’s fine motor Thursday!! This morning as we broke up into groups, the children focused on fine tuning their fine motor skills. Some worked on perforating, while others practiced cutting with scissors and tracing. The younger groups worked on tweezing and large tonging in Practical Life, as well as reviewing position word concepts found in the Language area.

Hello Everyone!

This morning during Circle time we discussed the concept of “in front – behind.” Not only did the children learn the vocabulary, but they worked on the concept concretely by placing objects in front and behind them. They then practiced positions with their peers, and followed simple and complex directions. Later we focused on “Walking in a line” and encouraged the children to tell us which friend was in front of them and who was behind them.

HAPPY MUSICAL MONDAY!!!!!!!!

Today was AWESOME with Mr. Jason in Music. He is our comedic Musician. We get our release on Mondays. After the trials of weekend life, Mr. Jason helps us to E A S E back into our wonderful school routines. Today we played the Djembe Drum. OOO la la, so much fun. This special drum has two sounds, LOUD and soft. We preferred the soft sound, BUT to appease Mr. Jason we played really loud so he would realize how much we appreciated learning about this new instrument. Mr. Jason also brought along a friend to help introduce the Djembe Drum. His name is Ollie the Elephant. I guess that’s why he sang the Alphabet like this; A B C D E F G H I J K elephantapee…..WHAT? Mr. Jason has the funniest friends. Thanks for sharing your Music and Comedy with us. Music teaches us about life in fun ways. We follow directions without realizing what we’re doing. “Hey wait a minute Mr. Jason you tricked us!
