THis week preschool
This week was really fun! The kids play together really well and they love to learn. I was impressed.
- We played for a few minutes while everyone got here and then sang songs from the singing apron with their carpets. That went really well and they enjoyed it.
- We also sang extra activity songs with a fun cd that we have. Everyone's favorite was animal action. We pretended like we were all sorts of different animals.
-Tuesday was rained out for playing outside but Thursday we played some scooters and bikes out front.
- We did number tracing which the children were very good at and they all got to pick their favorite numbers to make with fruit loops.
-We played UNO attack for the colors and numbers (we just ignored all of the skips and other cards) and it went really well.
-We also had story time and a lot of dancing time.
I had a fun week, what a great group of kids! Sorry my camera broke I'll do pics next time.

Sept. 2 - Number Recognition and Writing
Today was another great day with the kids. We started out with free time in the toy room until all the kids arrived. Once we were all together and we cleaned up the toys, we did opening exercises:
- "Here we are together" song
- Song Apron
- Weather Bear
- Review of Rules Chart
- 2 books ("Llama, Llama, Red Pajama" and "The Very Cranky Bear" - two of our favorites.)
We then personalized our carpet squares for hours of future use. After that we colors a few knights and princesses so that we could paste them on the preschool box (which is abnormally large. If anyone has any better solution, please share.)
We then turned to our actual lesson for the day. The kids were given their number/alphabet puzzle and asked to just color the numbers. I can tell that numbers might be something that we revisit at some point. While the kids can count pretty good, their recognition of numbers still needs work.
We then put our numbers to use by playing hide and go seek - which the kids LOVED of course.
We came back to the table and worked on counting and writing our numbers with the second handout. Writing numbers might be a little too old for them. Although I gave each student a number strip that they could copy the number from, it was still very difficult for them to write their numbers.
We then had lunch - which they were all very excited about. I think they felt very old and mature eating their our lunch. At one point they were all quiet. I think they were pretty hungry.
After lunch and clean up we went outside and played hopscotch - again to practice our number recognition.
Then the parents came. I have tell you ladies, that I LOVED having the kids over this week. It gave me an opportunity to get to know each one and I love them all. They are as sweet and as mannerly as anyone could ask. They are wonderful children. Thank you for bringing them to my house and having preschool with my little one. I look forward to this school year with you all.
