WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27,2011

This week in the Preschool room we have been working on shapes. The children are enjoying the new centers in the room. We have magazines in one center, where they have to find the shape of the day. Today, Mia had found lots of squares in the magazine! She was very proud of herself. Good job Mia!

The children are all learning so much from tracing shapes and trying to look at the shape and draw it. They reconized how many sides are on each shape. Our writing center is becoming so valuable. Keller has been spending a lot of time in that area. He is able to write all the shapes names by copying the index card that has the shapes name on it.


Today we made shape mobiles. The children had to cut out each shape and write the name of the shape. They all did so well! I was very proud of them working so hard on this project. They all took their time on writing the shapes names. This was great for shape reconition, writing and small motor skills.



The weather has not premited us yet to take our walk to see all the shapes around our community.We were able to go outside to our playground for a little while, and look around for shapes. The children reconize that shapes are all around us!

Carrots, Flowers, and Strawberries.  The children have really enjoyed learning about gardening and how we grow plants that we are able to eat.

On Wednesday's the center has high school helpers.  In our room is Alex she does great with the children.  They all love playing an chasing her around the room.  Alex has been a good helper for us teachers too.  Thank you Alex.
