Week of September 19th

The children have really started to get the routine.  They are making new friends as well. It is really a cool thing to see all the new bonds.

We have been working on fine and large motor skills.  The children are really enjoying gym and our art class that we do on Fridays.  We have been going out for recess everyday the weather is nice.  Please remember to dress appropriately for the weather.  :et them practice putting their own coats on as this is important for a larger class group.  Also PLEASE remember gym shoes on gym days.  This is primarily for the girls who wear the mary janes.  It is not safe, nor is it good for the gym floor.  We appreciate your help in this matter. 

We are continuing with Bb and blue but now we are adding apples to the mix.  We will be graphing, comparing, sorting and much more. If time permits, we might even try to make some applesauce.  This will be one of the first parts of what we study that will lead into our field trip on Oct. 6th.  The slips are going home on Friday 9/16.  Please return them by the listed date.  We will be going with East campus prek and kindergarten classes.  It should be great fun.

In our Jesus Time, we are continuing with the story of Abraham.  Next week will introduce Sarah.  At home, you can practice prayers.  The first is actually the Christian Pledge: I  pledge allegiance to the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ and to the faith for which it stands, one Saviour, eternal, with mercy and grace for all.

Rory was a great friend of the week.  Valentino is our next one.  The friend sits in the special chair and is able to help me out with the morning circle job.  I think the kids really like it.

Finally, our scientist of the week begins with Mallory and her dad next week! I am sure that is going to be so engaging for the children.  I will post photos soon. 

Until next week.... may you have a very blessed week!
