FREE CHOICE LEARNING~
Maya enjoys working with the peppermint-scented playdough and using drinking straws in her creation.
 CALENDAR~
 We have started a new activity during Calendar called, "Missing Number".  Each day, the teacher takes away one of the numbers from our "Number of Days in School".  At the end of Calendar, the Friendly Frog is asked to identify the missing number. 
 HANDWRITING~
In their handwriting books, children learned and practiced the correct way to make an upper case letter "O".

 AUTHOR SHARING~
Today was our first day of "Author Sharing".  Children who have created a story with words and/or pictures sat on a special frog stool and shared their books with their classmates.  When a child finishes sharing his/her story, he/she chooses 2 different friends to ask a question or give a compliment about his/her book.

 BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION~
Today Pre-K "A" surprised Mrs. Spolter by celebrating her half-birthday (since her real birthday is in June).  Mrs. Spolter's daughters came and read to the class one of Mrs. Spolter's favorite childhood stories.  Then we sang our birthday song to Mrs. Spolter.  During Free Choice time, we gave Mrs. Spolter homemade cards and ate frosted sugar cookies for snack!
 

 Since we were celebrating a birthday today, we read the story, Mrs. Wishy-Washy's Birthday.  Then, we drew a picture inside a present of what we would give Mrs. Spolter for a birthday gift.
