9/24 - Transportation Unit

Today was a big day at preschool.  I tried to pack in a lot of fun before the break.  I will miss your kids sweet faces for the next two weeks.  We will start classes again on October 13th.  Have a fabulous break!

 We started with painting the tubes for our rockets.  We had lots of messy fun.  Unfortunately they were not dry by the end of the day to finish our project but we enjoyed the painting anyway.  :)

 After painting we went upstairs for snack time and centers.

 They are really starting to utilize the library and it makes me so happy.  Their favorite book by far is called, "I Stink!"  You should look it up.  It's funny and teaches the alphabet.

 We played with play dough today.  I am having the children use scissors with the play dough to build muscle strength in their hands.  If you could have them do this at home, it would be great.

 We are really using our behavior chart.  The kids have to move their own picture up and down according to how they are behaving.  I am so pleased with the effort they are making to behave well.

 Our last project of the day was a moon painting with stars.  We talked about the shape of the moon and how outer space is black.  They had to paint the white inside the circle which was a challenge.

Great day everyone!  Inside their folders I have put all of the work we have done so far.  Look through it and congratulate your kids on their fine work.  Also, I have placed a small packet of worksheets in the front cover.  These are skills they really need to work on.  There is a coloring and color identification page, a cutting practice page, and a puzzle page.
Thanks for all that you do!
