 Painting for our classroom book!
 Decorating "Reward Banks"
 Playing and Learning!

The First Week!

We have had a great first week at preschool!  Our classroom theme is inspired by the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. so we have done a lot of activities based around the book.  These included creating a classroom book with each child in it, making a small version of a coconut tree with letters on it, making a necklace with the letters in our name and reading the book, as well as Chicka Chicka 1-2-3.

The kids helped us create rules for preschool.
                   -Listen
                   -Inside Voices
                   -Walking Feet
                   -Bodies to Self (no hitting, kicking, pushing, biting, etc)
                   -Be Nice
                   -Have Fun!

The preschoolers are getting into routine and getting to know each other.  I am enjoying getting to know each of them.  It is going to be a great year!

Welcome!

It was so exciting to meet all of you last night at Open House!  Thank you for coming.  I cannot wait for preschool to begin on Thursday and for this year to get started.  All of the kids seem like they are going to be so much fun.  I really enjoy getting to know each child's personality and how we all fit together in one class!

Welcome to preschool!  I will do my best to post once a week with pictures and things we are doing in class.  In addition, you will receive weekly newsletters and monthly calendars.  If you ever have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me!

I look forward to seeing all of you Thursday!
