Happy Thursday! We are finishing up N week with more night talk, more number work, more name work and special visitors today. The Puzzle Corner continues to be a popular landing spot along with the loft which this class has come to call “The Treehouse.”
On these cold days when we aren’t outside as much, we have plenty of opportunities for big body work. These children created their own today: Parachute Alley and Skateboard:
Read on to find out more about our day together:
What color paint and crayons were there for our project today?
White!
Good thing we had beautiful black paper, so the white could show up. We also had star stickers in a variety of colors and patterns. Our photos were glued on which meant that we were with the stars (and comets and galaxies).
Who came to visit us at the end of Show and Tell?
Pastor Shana!
Ms Kristin joked that it was like reverse visiting Santa. As the children were invited to come and say hi to Pastor Shana, many children started reporting on what they got for Christmas. Pastor Shana bring such a loving presence to our classroom whenever they come.
What two different things did Ms Kristin used to make the letter N?
Play dough and dry erase markers.
Our kindergarten bound friends also worked on writing names and numbers with a pencil today!
I work so hard to make that an exploratory experience rather than a stressful perfection seeking experience. The standards and expectations for 5-7 year olds has increased so much in the last decades and our little people haven’t changed!
What did we have for snack today?
Nilla wafers, Nonfat yogurt tubes, Nutella and fresh berries. Thank you, Wilmer! There were stores for everything that were visited quite often. Watch our video to find out why we needed scissors today:
What Show and Tell thing could not go in the basket?
Lilah‘s newborn baby brother!
These children did a fantastic job of respecting our school plan to not touch the visiting baby and to keep our bodies slow and quiet. We learned about what he eats, how he goes to the bathroom and where he sleeps. We even sang him a sweet night time song…
Then Ms Kristin got the biggest treat and got to hold him since she’s a grown-up. (Ms Kristin LOVES babies and will hold them anytime she can)
Here are the things that could go in the basket:
We joked that it could have been B Week with all the B things here: brown, bear, Bethel College, baby, ballerina, blanket, blue, batteries, buttons, band…
