Week of September 12

Our color this week was BLUE.

We read The Little Blue Truck by Alive Schertle.

During Circle Time we practice singing the ABC song. Our little ones love to sing with the robots.

We also played a color sorting game. We took turns placing objects in the right color jars.

For our Art Center we painted Little Blue Trucks. In the story, Blue gets stuck in the mud. We used our fingers and brown paint to make our trucks muddy.

For our Gross Motor Center we drove chunky trucks around on the floor with friends.

For our Sensory Center we played with Blue foam dough. Our little ones enjoyed squishing and molding the dough.

For our Fine Motor Center we played with nuts and bolts. It was a challenge to match the nuts and bolts by shape and color, twist them together, and take them apart.

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it to our Fall Family Picnic. The rain didn't keep us from having a fun time!

Our color next week is BLUE.

Week of September 5

Our color this week was RED.

Our Bible lesson this month is the first day of creation. God made the day and the night.

We had our first Star Students this week. Our Star Student gets to sit in a special chair at Circle Time. The Star Student also helps lead our ABC song. Most important, they get to use the teacher's pointer. Our Star Student also brings a snack for the class and gets to be our Line Leader for the week. Please watch your Star Student calendar in your child's binder for their Star Student week.

We also celebrate birthdays during Circle Time.

For our Art Center this week we made watermelon slices. We used our fine motor pincher grasps to place black beans in glue on a red paper plate. 

For our Skill Center we sorted plastic bears by color.

For our Sensory Center we played with our red playdoh again. We continued working on rolling out playdoh flat and using cookie cutters to make shapes.

For our Fine Motor Center we used different kinds of blocks.

At Snack Time we fold our hands and pray. We are learning to ask for more food by saying "more please" and saying "thank you". When we are done with our snack, we put up our cup and throw away our trash.

On the playground this week we "painted" the fence with water and brushes.

Our color next week is BLUE.
