What’s been going on?

 

Mrs. Dawes loved all her beautiful cards the kids made her! We even sang to her in the cafeteria. Thanks for helping make her day special!

 

We had a great week and the children are already pros at following our routines and procedures! The children enjoyed learning about their names and the color yellow! We sorted all the names in our class by the first letter, practiced writing our names and friends names, and even wrote our names with beans! We also learned about the color yellow and made a circle map of all things yellow. The children also enjoyed one of our new favorite books, “Pete the Cat- I Love My White Shoes”. I’m sure lots of you have already heard your child singing Pete’s song! The children also visited 8 centers this week during our Morning Center time. Here are a few pictures from the centers.

 

Using the beans to write their names worked on letter recognition and fine motor skills 

 In ABC center the children matched upper and lower case letters.

 

In iPad center the children got to use lots of different education apps. This, of course, was everyone's favorite! They were all very excited to know that we will get to use iPads every other week during centers!
