Great Day!

Happy Thursday! 

I hope everyone was able to get out and enjoy this beautiful weather we have been blessed with.  Today's blog is a little different, I had a really hard time getting the pictures to load and so they are not in the order of how we did today.  I will list all the things we did today at the end of this paragraph.  

We had a great time in our class, some of our Easter things have been put away and we are slowly going to add in some new toys for us to explore and play with.  We have been learning about butterflies, flowers and the season and Spring.  Please continue to keep our friend Olivia in your prayers she is home from the hospital and is on the road to recovery.  We spent our Jesus time learning about Jesus helping the fishermen find the fish.  It was brought to my attention today that we have 5 Thursdays left together and that makes me sad that so many of my friends will be leaving and moving onto preschool.  I treasure our time together and am looking forward to the remainder of the school year with my little friends.  Enjoy this beautiful weekend and remember to take time to worship.  

What we did today:

We enjoyed listening to some nature sounds as different spring and butterflies popped up on our t.v. this morning.  

WRITING our NAME

We continue to become familiar with the letters in our name as we practiced writing our name.  This is just an introduction to the letters of their names.  A journal will come home at the end of the year to show you the progress your child has made in writing their name.

Painting a RECTANGLE that Looks like a Lego

Some of our friends painted a rectangle that looked like a Lego.  Later in the week we will work with Lego's and build some fun sculptures with them.  

 Painting Fish

Today during our Jesus time we talked about how Jesus Helped the fisherman find the fish.  So during our center time we used our water colors to paint some fish that we will be helping to decorate our room with.

Today we had a big piece of paper put out on our table along with some crayons.  We were able to color and draw what ever we wanted.  This paper is going to be used to make some more beautiful butterflies to put around our classroom.

Spring Collage

Today we used butterflies and flowers to create a spring collage to help decorate our lobby for the month of April.  Be sure and check them out when you come into the Sonshine Center later in the week.  

Coloring and Painting 

Today we had to tell Mrs. Wegner if we were a boy or a girl.  We then colored either a little boy or a little girl with crayons.  They did a great job coloring their person.  After we were done coloring we painted an Umbrella Yellow that we are going to attach to our person we colored to make a rain scene in our classroom.  This activity allowed for us to work on our fine motor skills, pre-writing skills, color identification and awareness of gender types and weather.

Cutting with Scissors

Today we worked with Mrs. Wegner cutting pretty colored paper to decorate and make some more pretty butterflies to hang on our wall.  

OUTSIDE TIME!  

We were so excited to get outside and play on this gorgeous.  We were able to run, hop, jump, ride and play with all of our friends on the playground. We had fun scooping, digging, and running cars through the rock pit.  It was a great way for us to play with the other friends in the other PDO classes.  We worked on our climbing skills and just had a wonderful time playing outside.  

Happy Thursday

(I love these little friends and they have grown so much this year!)
