THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!
We had an awesome first day of school! We met new friends, had fun painting, coloring, gluing singing songs and listening to stories! Whew we did a lot but had fun doing it all! The blog will be sent out each day and will update you on what we did in class along with pictures of all the neat things we did!
Jesus Time: Today we spent time looking a picture of Jesus and different things we may associate with him. We started learning the song Jesus Loves Me and the hand motions that go with it. This is something that we will do every week during Jesus time. One of the objects we talked about today was a cross, so we painted a picture of a cross with water colors. Be sure to check out our beautifully painted crosses in the lobby of the Sonshine Center!
Number: We started our study of the number one by holding up one finger and saying one. We practiced counting 1 blue square today during our morning meeting. We also got to use the glue bottles and glue one blue candle on a cupcake.
Shape: We started our study of the square. We talked about how it has four sides and often looks like a window. We then had fun using the glue again to make a square collage.
Letter: Today we practiced singing our ABC's and colored a picture of all the letters in the alphabet. This activity came home with them today in their red folders.
Color: We are learning about the color blue this month. During our morning meeting we identified different blue objects and during center time we had fun painting a picture of Eeyore. This beautiful paintings are in our hallway on the way to the cubby rooms be sure to look at them. We also had fun painting our hands blue today for a special poem that came home with each child today.
Music and Movement: We learned lots of new songs and had fun dancing and singing. An old favorite was the Bumble Bee song and Head Shoulders Knees and Toes. We had fun shaking our bodies down and clapping and stomping our feet.
Outside Time: We got lucky today and were able to go outside for a good 40 minutes before the rain came in and chased us back inside. We were able to go outside again after lunch for about 15 minutes. We had a great time riding bikes and playing with more new friends!
I hope your child had a great first day I know that I certainly enjoyed myself and am looking forward to seeing everyone again! Please enjoy our day through pictures below.
