We Had a GGGRREEEAAATTTT First Week!!!

I am so pleased to announce, that our First Week here at the Jungle Room Pre-K was a GREAT one!  I already feel like I've been with these students longer than just a week!  I am absolutely shocked at how much these kids know!!!  Alot of my students have been here at Totspot for the 3's class, or even the 2's class!  I even have several younger siblings of past students.  That is really fun! 
We started this week by going on a classroom safari!  We made binoculars at Meet the Teacher and used them for our safari! I am super impressed on how fast these kiddos learned the rules an procedures of the Jungle Room!
Classroom Safari!
 We have begun to talk about our Names and Birthdays this week!  We will be showing off our All About Me posters in our room all year!  We will also be showing off our names!  I feel such a special bond with these students already!


We also read a book called, "Have you Filled a Bucket Today?"  that talks about filling other people's buckets by doing and saying nice things to them.  We don't want to be bucket "dippers" who dip into others good feeling by making fun of or being mean to them.  We will be using this theme to help remind the children to be bucket fillers all year long!
