Happy Tuesday

Time to sign in......

And yesterday we started choosing our jobs....

SO many to chose from...

Choosing a daily job is an important

part of our day....

It  helps make the children

feel like an active part of our class

and

making choices can be hard--choosing a job daily 

encourages choice making (as well as problem solving

if someone has chosen the job you wanted)

to do the art easel

As well as developing hand eye coordination and

the art easel encouraging children to cross the 

midline

Prayer Requests 

we are learning about

asking God for help during 

our prayer requests time

 Then I will say a prayer including each child's

requests Then we go around

the circle and say a Thank You

prayer

we had a few extra minutes

so we played a game

I put out bowls with the numbers 1-12

written on the front

i asked the children to cover(or close0 their eyes

no peeking

I then hid a bean bag

the children then uncovered their eyes and took

turns guessing which bowl the

bean bag was hidden under

I would give clues after a child makes a guess

like the bean bag is under a bowl with a number smaller than 

the number 5

this game the children love and it

reinforces number recognition and introduces them to the

concepts of bigger/smaller than

Calvin was our line leader

and chose

TAKE CARE,POLAR BEAR 

for our good bye rhyme
