Reminder: send a sweater or jacket on these cooler days!
Our story today was "I like Me! by Nancy Carlson and we worked on name recognition and counting how many boys and how many girls in our class today.
This was a wonderful day today- we were thrilled with how busy and involved all of the children were in all of the choice time activities today.
For art we had finger painting with white and blue glitter paint. Our sensory table has rice in it for a great sensory experience. This made for two very different experiences- the paint was cool, smooth and slippery and the rice is hard, dry and makes noise.
The children really got involved in music today and were doing the hand movements to the songs and sang the songs. We did songs called "Put your finger on", "Tommy Thumb".
We went to the playground and besides playing on the equipment and running around, we looked at the leaves fall off the trees.

We read the story "Rainbow Fish" by Marcus Pfister and talked to the children about sharing with our friends. The teacher had her own sparkly fish and when the children painted their fish with glitter paint, she shared one of her sparkles with each child.
At circle time we also played a fish game with number recognition (1-10), did a rhyme about the pet store and sang a rhyme about 5 little fish who tease Mr. Shark.
We also enjoyed some extended time outside and came back in for music where we sang the "pirate song" and "When I was a little fish".
The children really enjoy doing the large floor puzzles, and our dramatic corner is a very popular spot.

Our story today was another in the series of "If you..." it was "If you give a cat a cupcake" by Laura Numeroff. We also read an "A" book called Adventures of Abby Alligator".
Today we began work on our journals, the children wrote their names, the letter "A" (upper and lower case) and drew any picture they wanted to of something that started with the letter "A".
We had some sorting activities out, the "letter A" puzzle, and played an ABC Bingo game. For music we did a phonics sing a long song, the "Pirate song" (also called over the deep blue sea) and a fun song called "Tap your toes and follow me"
At circle time we listed words that started with the letter "A".
We went to the playground and played with balls, the sandbox and enjoyed the bouncer and slide.
