Miss Amy and Miss Courtney's Class
This Week...
We have opened up our block center to a larger area, changed our dramatic play center to be slightly bigger, moved table toys to the back corner and our games closer to our working tables! We notice this gives more opportunities for extended choice time where the kids get to take the lead! They are making their own choices in the games, toys, and activities they play when they first come in!
We are so proud of how far they have come writing their names! They come in and write their names each day on the white board to sign in! They are also signing in with their first name and their last names! It is so cool to see how far they've come! I hope you are all seeing a difference at home also!
We have begun doing some more academically with letter identification and sounds and number recognition, sequencing and one to one correspondence! Again, we are really impressed with how far the kids have come! They are so smart and SO interested!
We are all done with Art, so we tried to make Friday as fun as could be! Our choice time was a chance to play in all sensory things! We had shaving cream, finger paint, markers and stamps on our bellies, and play-doh! We had plenty of time to play in our centers and enjoy a lot of play time!
LAST WEEK - Just a quick note about last week, the leprechaun came and messed up our room!!! He told us to go on a hunt around the classroom to find his friends and the "gifts" he left us. We found gold rocks and coins! It was so special!
We love our jobs, have we mentioned it lately?!?
