Mrs Oswald's Preschool

Teagan knows what to do.....

She came right in and put her back pack on her hook, put her folder and water bottle and snack in her cubby

Caroline knows what to do too..... Great job girls

Today we started choosing jobs......

Then Caroline and Teagan found activities to do for Morning Work

Caroline was doing a great job counting the gems

Nora choosing her job

Then for morning work she chose to color first

Bristle Blocks are a lot of FUN

Caroline enjoys these counter which are shaped like people and cats

Brody choosing his job.I thought maybe he would chose his favorite from last year, but he didn't he chose Weather Helper.... a new job this year!

Then for morning work he came a worked with the colorful gems

Charlie working on getting on his things out of his backpack to put in his cubby

Ella is ready for school!! She walked right in and knew exactly what to do!!

She looks SO grown up!!!

Ella choosing her job!

Charlie was looking for his favorite job..... milk helper! But it isn't one of the choices this year, so he decided on Gate Keeper!

Then Charlie decided to build with the bristle blocks

Luke choosing his job... snack manager

Luke asked if he could use the people from the block area with the magnets so he could build them houses!!! Sure.... Great Idea and I liked the way he asked!!

Look at how many people Luke fit into the house he built for them!

Ella was proud to show off her creation( I think she said it was a robot)

Practicing.. FREEZE YOUR KNEES!!!!

Freeze your knee is a way to get everyones attention at once. I say 1-2-3... FREEZE YOUR KNEES... and everyone needs to stop what they are doing and listen. I may have something important to tell them or it may be time to clean up!

This is just another way to reinforce listening skills!

everyone did a great job!!

Another short video on hand washing.

I noticed a few friends get their hands wet, put soap on and immediate start rinsing....

This video steps through proper hand washing... I will email the link so you can review with your kiddos at home too.

Second Steps:

We looked at this picture card. It is of a little boy, Talik. I asked the children by looking

at the picture how do you think he is feeling? So many great answers... scared, nervous and worried!

We then talked about what we can do if we ever feel that way and what we can say if we see a friend who feels sad, worried or nervous!

The children then all practiced introducing themselves to the picture card, because it was Talik's 1st day of school. And we talked about how it may help someone feel better if they know the names of the friends at school. The children did a REALLY good job of saying, "Hi! My name is...... "

We didn't have a yoga instructor today, so Brody helped us out!

The children doing the SKI POSE

JESUS TIME

Learning how to say the Invocation

Then I showed the children our pray wall. I asked the children if they had anyone they wanted us to pray for..... anyone who may be sick, hurt or traveling. Anytime they have a pray request we will write it on a sticky note and put it on our prayer wall. Then at the end of day pray, we will pray for those people!
