In the Classroom!

Fav books for the month: Painting a Rainbow - Lois Ehlert , Dinoshapes - Roger Priddy , Let's Go Thomas - Thomas & Friends
Table Time: We will be working on math, counting 1-10 (English/Spanish) and classifying.
Sensory, Art, Science:
We're going to enjoy coloring our letter friend of the week, and practice using our five senses to be kind to one another.
Math:
Did you know we have snack math every day? We spend this time working on counting, color recognition, shapes, and vocab. We also have math when we are singing our songs like "5 Little Monkeys, Ducks, or Zoophonics Animal" of the week.
Dramatic Play:
This month we are trying to "pretend" eating and working together in the kitchen.
Social-Emotional:
We're continuing to practice and learn how to use our manners, say please, thank you, and sorry. We are also working on using words to express each other.
Gross Motor/Music & Movement: We're going to spend the month outside! We are going to be balancing on one foot and jumping up and down with both feet of the ground, and kicking balls. For music and movement we are going to be having dance parties along with expressive dance.
Scholastic
Scholastic is done for the summer. We will resume back in August! Thanks for all your orders :)
The Book Nook
The Parent's Spotlight
Thank you!!!
Thank you to all the parents for donations towards Graduation and family fun day!
Remember there is a suggestion box in the lobby, and we love to hear about ideas to enhance the learning environment for your children.
Would you like to donate?
We could use:
- Chalk, Bubbles, and Balls (all sizes)
- Shoes and socks (all sizes) for back ups for when kiddos have accidents
- Storage boxes
- Clear plastic jars (i.e. mayonnaise, peanut butter, jelly..etc.)
- Is there ever a time when you say to yourself, " I wonder if The Tot Spot would want this"? We could use it in so many ways. You may have babies, but the whole school is yours. Everything can turn into a sensory activity or learning experience. So, before you throw out your junk, ask your teacher if it could be used
