An exciting week at school!

This week our theme was "friendship" and we were so excited to have two new friends in class! We got a new student that we absolutely adore and a new insect friend. One of our students brought in a chrysalis and although we missed the transformation, we arrived at school Tuesday to find a beautiful butterfly waiting for us! What a great experience and a fun week!

Working Together

We had another wonderful week of school! We had so much fun this week learning about our families and getting to know each other even better. I had a hard time narrowing down which pictures to use this week because I kept capturing so many sweet moments of kids working together. A big part of preschool is learning to socialize, share and work together and I am thrilled to see so much of that happening each day! What a sweet group of kiddos!!

This group was setting up a little dinosaur community. :)

Concentrating hard to get it just right

You have to think it out to get the marble run to go just the way you want it.

Mrs. Traci and I get all smiles when they are working on their big kid work! :)

Sometimes even a buddy can show you how to do something.

Working together and sharing materials can be fun at school.

Mrs. Traci is a good helper when we are making something special.

Books are more fun when you can discuss it with another interested classmate.

Our butterfly bush is attracting many pretty friends and this is becoming quite the attraction at playtime.

"Look how big we are!"

"Look what I made."

We are working on our communication skills and even sharing when we show what's in our student of the day box.

We love to use our handprint to design pictures. :)

Our first week of preschool!

We had a fabulous first week of school playing with our new friends! We are going to have a great year!

We like to model after our families and take care of the babies in the classroom.

The dinosaurs are a fun challenge because you have to piece their bodies together.

It takes a smart boy to figure out which size snowman goes into the next one.

Our fine motor skills are sharpened when we practice cutting at the sensory table.

We surprised our teachers at how well we can already write our names and color!

We were such attentive listeners when Mrs. Tracy read us a story.

The new playground area was one of our favorite parts of the day!

Digging, shoveling, and transporting rock is a job just like big people do!

We used our big muscles each day on the playground.

We made many new friends this week and discovered how to play together.

We use our creative artistic skills at the art easel.

Our imaginations provide our friends with very entertaining shows.

We can't wait to take our work home at the end of each day to show our families how smart we are!
