MORNING MESSAGE~
Today we introduced something new on our morning message. At the end of the message is a question for the children to answer. Beginning tomorrow, each child will have a turn to answer the question on the morning message when he/she arrives at school. Today we explained and modeled what to do when answering the question.
Today we introduced and practiced reading a poem called, "Colors". We hung the poem for the children to practice reading using a special pointer during Free Choice time.
Teddy Bear Bingo is a new activity at Games Galore!
Color goggles are available to experiment with at the Discovery Station.
Kaleidoscopes are now available for experimenting at the Discovery Station.
Avery and Lianna work together to order numbers from 1 to 50!
Today we read the book Elmer, a story about an elephant who is patchwork colors instead of gray. Be sure to ask your child how and why Elmer changes his color and how he returns to patchwork colors!
The children helped us retell the story of Elmer on the flannel board with props. This activity will now be available for the children to do in the Book Nook during Free Choice time.
Today we did another lesson in "Empathy Training". Using the photo below of the two children pictured in the tree, we discussed how each child felt about being in the tree based on their facial expressions. We also discussed how we can still be friends with others even if/when we don't like the exact same things.
Using a "thumb ball" with letters, we played a game of identifying letters and the sounds they make.
