This morning, Essie lead us through our morning meeting. Afterwards, we traced and wrote our names independently in literacy centers. If we had time remaining, we worked on putting our names together with the letter cubes I showed you all at conferences. I'm seeing an increase class-wide in fine motor control - must be all that play-doh and cutting! :)
We also had our early learner music class this morning. We returned to class and listened to a story read to us by a buddy in Keri's class, Benjamin. I love opportunities like these because it not only help's Benjamin's self-confidence and leadership skills, it also teaches your children the excitement of reading as a child - they aren't listening to yet another story read to them by another adult.
This group of children are particularly interested in books! After lunch, we do usually look at books, but today they wanted an extra long while to look at them and "read" them to each other. Who would say no to that, right?
Since the weather was a bit warmer today, we did finally get a chance to go out and play! Despite the cold, the children seemed to have a great time so please continue to send your child in warm coats, gloves, hats, scarves, etc.
LAST CHANCE TO SHOP AT THE BOOK FAIR is today from 2-4pm! Thanks so much to everyone who shopped with us in support of our wonderful school.
