Catching up!

FUNNY, I thought I posted this up last night...turns out I posted it twice on the 2 day class blog. Bleh, someday I will learn to keep all this straight. In the meantime, you can check out the posts below to catch up.

OFFICIAL PICTURE DAY INFO... Pictures will be taken at the Winkfotos studio - which just happens to be located in our very own preschool - aren't we lucky!!

Dress your child in fun bright colors, that's what preschool is all about! Em of www.winkfotos.com hasn't sent me the exact price breakdown yet. I have asked for 2 options to be available to you. One should be $20 and the other $12, I think. More coming on that tonight, hopefully.

Today we introduced the "Ticking Clock" sound, also known as the letter T. We listened to the quiet ticking of our clock and practiced imitating the sound.




In Arts and Crafts we made our very own ticking clocks to take home.

Miss Jamie has also had a little fun with the kids showing them one of her favorite YouTube videos, here it is...


Wednesday, September 21st...


More of our "Happy Annie" /letter A sound...

We read "Who Took the Cookies from the Cookie Jar?" and found out after an investigation that ANTS took the cookies!

We followed up the theme at Snack Time with "Ants on a log" (celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins). And then in Arts and Crafts we made our very own egg carton ANTS with messy red paint - always a hit with the kids!


Tuesday, September 20th...

Today we introduced the Letter A. This is our "Happy Annie" sound. Happy Annie is a cute little baby who loves being held and responds with an "a" sound (think short vowel sound "a" in your very best baby voice).

We had a fun time learning about apples with this book...
We even cut an apple in half and saw this...
Then we read "Ten Apples Up on Top"...


Singing time is always filled with lots of FUN songs, one in particular that focuses on the vowel sounds is "Apples and Bananas". We introduced this fun song to the kids today.

Monday, September 19th...

More of the "Cracking Egg" sound! Today we read a couple of fun books about CATS.


AND

Two fun favorites here at preschool! P.S. If your kids come home talking about a cat falling in a toilet, this is where they are getting it from! Cookie is a very curious cat and toilets are quite interesting it turns out to both cats and preschoolers. :) Anyhow, it makes for a fun read!
