Charleigh thinking

about what job

she would like...

Learning to make choices

is a HUGE part of

preschool

Provide young children with opportunities to

make choices reinforces:

independence, gain a sense of responsibility 

and confidence as well as

giving them a sense of

"power or control over their day"

So decision making like

what job do I want or

what morning work do

I want to do first

are perfect opportunities!!

Charleigh then chose to color

first for morning work

Oliver chose

these fun loose parts to play with first

Then Oliver, Charleigh and

Lincoln wanted to

play with the 

play doh

Addie having fun

with the peg board

Hazel is using the bristle blocks

Isaac chose the

magnetic blocks to play with first

Oliver is working on putting

these circles back together

on the peg..... a great problem

solving activity as it works

best if you

place them from biggest to

smallest

Lots of friends are having

fun chatting and

coloring

having a HAPPY kind of day!

Nora volunteered to be

him holding

this book because

his sister has a book

Handwriting without

Tears

BIG Line

Little Line

I talked to the children

how we use lines

to make LOTS of 

letters!!

we got to use 1 BIG line

and 1

LITTLE line

I asked them to hold up their BIG

LINES

Then hold up their

LITTLE LINES

We then sang a 

Tap, Tap, Tap song

that reinforces following

directions!!!

The children LOVED it!!

After we sang the song

we tried making the

letter L

with the 

BIG LINE

and the 

LITTLE LINE

Next was Center Time

Trains are always a 

popular choice!

Nora and Bria

chose to paint

at the art easel

today

Lots of friends patiently

waiting

for "loose parts"

to make 

creations

TRAINS

Teddy using the work

bench

Teddy than went over and made

a creation!!

A few friends and I 

reading books

(Winston, Oliver and Lincoln)

These boys were enjoying

expanding

the train tracks

across the room

Mason was our exercise

leader today

PUSH UPS!

PUSH UPS are a 

little challenging

PRAYER REQUESTS:

Wow! I am impressed with 

how quickly my friends

are picking up on

prayer requests

time

One of the sweetest part

of the day!!!

We had some time left at the end

for MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

Sometimes it is hard to not

get the musical 

instrument you were hoping for

I talk to the children about how this might happen....someone 

else may chose the instrument

before it is your turn to chose.

I also told them that is OK....Disappointment is OK

we will do instruments

LOTS of times and you will get a chance to

play the one you really want...

it may not be today, but you will get a turn!

The majority handled this really well

a few were really disappointed

again this is ok

and a huge part of

preschool is learning how to handle

disappointment and then being able

to make another choice!!!

The children love

to play the instruments

we play along to a song

that reinforces following

directions and also

self-control

(like play really slowly

or really fast or

being able to sSTOP when the music stops)

Hazel was the line leader

so she got to chose our

GOOD BYE RHYME 

Gotta Go, Buffalo!
