Pet Week!

We had such a fun week talking about our special pets at home and pets that we would like to have!
 
We enjoyed painting cats out of our handprints and dogs from our footprint. :) 
See how we can independently stamp the word cat.  We learned that letters read from left to right to write a word.

We loved all things pet shop this week! 

We pretended to be veterinarians at the pet clinic.

Our special pets at home. 
We help our friends in class. :) So sweet! 
Special birthday girls! 
The weather this week was perfect!!!!! 

Morning table top centers...working hard :) 




This week our shape was a square.  We talked about the circle then moved in to make a square.   


Only in preschool do you get your foot painted! ha!  Sure made for a cute puppy with those little toes. :) 
Searching for those "F's" 





Checking out our pet books for the week.  Look at these awesome readers! 
"Look! F is for Fruit Snacks." 
Fire trucks for their F object 
Frogs, fish and flashlight! 
More great "F" toys to share! 


Working hard on sequencing....such a great skill for kindergarten 
What a great fish tank friend! 


Look how we touch below the word on the black dot to read!  With this repetitive text, we are in the beginning stages of becoming little readers. 









What a fun week with some fabulous kiddos!  Next week is Eric Carle week-one of my favorite authors. :)

Family and friends week!

We had a great 2nd week of school talking about our special families and our new friends at school. 
Each morning we find our names and work on our table top center.  We are either working on a math, literacy or fine motor activity. 

This week we made a class graph about the number of siblings we have at home.  We counted and compared our results.  We learned to use the words "most" and "least." 
Playing hard with our friends 

We love working with our teachers each day. :) 
The play-doh table is a favorite!!!!   




The family projects were so fun to share!!  Great job parents helping with this project.  Thank you!  They are hanging in our room for us to see each day. 


Sharing our "L" objects 




Look at all of that red! 
Each day we sing this letter sound song while we get to watch the letters and pictures. 

Can you guess what shape we are?  This week we learned about the circle!  Can your child find circles around your house? 
We loved decorating our picture frames with the picture of our new friend in class. 

Working hard on our names, our letter and number of the week.  We sure are smart! 

Just sitting and chatting. :) 
Such great new friends! 














More family projects!



Drawing our families and telling what our family members like to do.  We learned how to draw realistic people by adding details such as eyes, noses, smiles and counting their fingers. 


Using stamps and stickers, we made a whole page of circles while exploring the shape. 








I LOVE these proudly hanging on our class bulletin board.  Aren't they so precious? 

Ready.....break!  So cute!  We had an awesome week!  Next week we are excited for our new theme, Pets!
