Mrs. Erin, Ms. Madison and Ms. Lauryn's Tuesday and Thursdays Farm Room Class

I am in Preschool, I am not 

made to sit still. Instead teach

me by...

Giving me sheets and clothespins to build with. 

Scavenger hunts. Hiding books in a box and 

having me count them with only touch.

Making hopscotch. Counting while you 

push me on the swing. Singing to me . Reading

to me. Making up stories and songs and 

rhymes. Being silly. Playing simple card games

with me. Drawing in the dirt with sticks with

me. Putting different things in tubs of water

for me to explore. Freezing those those tubs of water 

for me to explore differently. Giving me blocks 

to build with. Giving me beads and 

pipecleaners. Baking with me. Most of all, by

giving me unstructured time. 

Working on our family tree. 

Making new friends is one of the best parts of preschool!

We love to celebrate our friends birthdays!

Learning the letters of our names. They had so much fun decorating it the way they wanted to. 

Making our classroom quilt. 

Can you believe they all sit down at once to have snack, This is one of my favorite times with them, it i so fun to hear what they talk to their friends about. :) 

Everyone is always eager to help. 

Just a little alone time. 

Playing with the rabbit helps teach us to use soft hands. 

Doing a project that requires our hands getting dirty. 

Getting our pictures taken in front of our barn. 

I hope you enjoyed a little peak inside of our classroom. I appreciate you leaving your little ones with us. They have all found a place in our hearts. We are looking forward to a wonderful year with each and every one of them!

Ms. Julie & Ms. Amy's 3s class in the Forest Room

Our three-year-olds are finding their groove and really enjoying all of the fun toys we have in the Forest room.  We have 13 awesome students.  Each morning there is always a welcome activity for the kids when they first arrive.  It changes daily or weekly, but below you can see a few of the things they've played with to encourage creativity and problem solving. 

We do a lot in the 3s class with developing and strengthening fine motor skills.  Our theme for week three was Family, and here the students are developing fine motor skills by gluing cheerios onto letters that spell family.

Twice a day we have Centers where we focus on math, handwriting, and art.  The students loved "shaving" men's faces, playing shapes bingo, gluing, and cutting cutting cutting!

Snack time is loved by everyone!  It lets all of us recharge and gives us a chance to get to know each other better.  Miss Amy and I love asking the kids about their weekend and hearing their cute responses.

Our handwriting program, Handwriting Without Tears, is awesome.  The students not only practice writing numbers, but they get to build them with wooden sticks.

This last week we started our Body theme.  After tracing everyone's body on large butcher paper, we did art projects with glitter paint, puff paint, and blow painting. 

We do Circle Time three times a day.  We read stories, play games, sing songs, review our letters, colors and numbers, and just have a lot of fun.  Sometimes we even do cool science experiments.  

I hope you've enjoyed all of the photos.  We sure do enjoy all of the kids!
