Morning Work

CURVES

Introducing Curves this week.......

Otto is using plastic curves that snap

together.... some friends discovered they

could make other letters

or even numbers.....

Theses boards with curves we are using BEADS to fill in

the curves.... yesterday we had a hard time getting the

beads back out SO I added tweezers......  Tweezers was a great addition plus

help the children develop fine motor skills and hand eye coordination...

we used our NEW play doh today

we also have magnetic  CURVES!!!

Otto concentrating with using

tweezers

Lucas was very PROUD of the letters he

made... S  and O

Winston came and made a 

BIG O

LOTS of play doh friends

Lincoln was concentrating

on what he was making with the

plastic curves!

A few friends decided to

play TIC TAC TOE

Then a few friends went over to the

writing table

Oliver using the tweezers and the

beads

Morning Meeting

Ella's turn to hold 

ZEBRA

Lucas was attendance helper

EVERYONE came to school

today!!!!

This is always a HAPPY day!!!

15 friends at school!!

since we have chapel we did

not do JESUS time....

And since it was rainy and wet we didn't 

to go outside

SO we had 

MUSIC TIME

KindyRock is usually

who I look up videos for......

She does a great job

encouraging playing to a beat

and stoping and starting

when told.....

Part of when we do music also

involves understanding or

learning to understand they you may

NOT get the instrument you really

want and that is OK--- everyone will

get an instrument

This is hard sometimes BUT it is a BIG part

of preschool--- learning to experience

disappointment and then being able to

express it and move on

Today's helpers are.....

CHAPEL...

Mrs Reed, a Kindergarten teacher,

led chapel today...

She taught us the BEST

Christmas present of all is JESUS

and that God wants us to

be a gift to others.. be KIND and

SHINE for others....

Cecilia was SO excited to be

our chapel offering helper today

After chapel we ran around

the commons with Mrs Mudd's class

we had tunnels to crawl 

through as well

This was a lot of

fun for the children

Then some of ELP came to the commons

SO as we left a few

friends got to say HI to their

SIBLINGS

Cecilia was our

librarian

Charlotte was weather helper

Mack was prayer leader

Yesterday we started

pouring water into cups for

snack...

I demonstrated for today's friends.....

Foster was snack manager

SNACK

The children are really enjoying

pouring their own water....

This gives the children a sense of autonomy,

builds self confidence and as a BONUS

they are drinking MORE water!!!

Quite a few friends refilled their cups

multiple times

HA!! Crazy Blogger and probably a little bit of user error.....

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

For some reason not all the photos posted and when I went to add them......

The rest of this pictures posted backwards

from the very end of the day until 

FINISHING SNACK...

FEEL free to scroll to bottom and work your way back up...

Ellie was line leader and chose

After awhile, Crocodile 

Lincoln was our invocation leader

and since we didn't have chapel I asked him to do 

the invocation to led us into prayer

Even though our time was SUPER short

I wanted to make sure we still prayed!!

We went around the room and the children either said 

A THANK YOU PRAYER

or a HELP ME (or Help someone else) PRAYER

They all wanted to say more than one thing

and it was so hard to tell them

just one thing...

I tried to explain that they could say the prayers in their head

and God would still hear them... BUT most really want

to say them out loud to our class...

This is so sweet and honestly one 

of my most favorite parts of our day

Kennedy was 

our exercise leader

SIT UPS!

Winston was our YOGA

Instructor

SKI POSE

Ella was our superintendent....

 Friends definitely felt like we ran out of time

before they were done..

those that made hockey sticks

today are keeping in their

cubbies to use tomorrow

So much fun was had!!!

It was a PACKED FUN FILLED DAY!!!

Friends waiting for a turn.....

then after our sticks were together

we took lids and played a little

hockey or just passing

the "puck" lid back and forth

so many friends worked and worked

craft sticks and tape!!!!!

The beginnings of

making our own hockey sticks...

dramatic play

Hmmm... making his own ring toss.....

😊😊😊😊

Art Project

CENTER TIME

ICE SKATERS>>>
we had so many friends who wanted to skate BUT I let

the friends who were not here yesterday go first

so they would get a chance to skate today

We are seeing where the interest of 

ICE SKATING will go and whether or not

it will turn into a project!!

Brainstorming things

we already know about

ICE and ICE SKATING

After snack we came to the blue carpet

and used the BIG wooden CURVES
and the LITTLE wooden CURVES

Kennedy and Emmy really enjoyed pouring

their own water
