It was a busy day yesterday getting back and getting our schedule back in place for another run at learning and doing. The children were tired - so they must have really enjoyed the long weekend.
We played a lot outdoors, but still managed to do a lot with the afternoon indoors. It's passion week and Mrs. St. Louis did the Palm Sunday Story. The kids made palms. They can be seen in the front hall.
We are working hard on our music again. Miss Amy is doing a really nice job teaching the kids some new songs. Singing helps with speech, understanding the world, mathematics, information accumulation and the properties of thought. Children who don't sing with the group are usually the ones who are slightly behind. It's interesting.
My class is copying sentences this week in order to begin to understand word placement on paper. Mostly with 4-5 year olds, the words just run together and it's a real chore to get that space between words. So we're working on it. My class knows their color words fairly well, and we will begin the number words today.
Yesterday we worked on one-to-one correspondence with patterns and Camryn not only understood, she broke her one-to-one down and made a 4x4 design understanding all the parts and design. This is not an easy concept.
We have new blocks and some new outdoor toys to play with. The kids have been enjoying these.
Today might be an occasion for storms. We will take cover in the bathroom if the storms come. Parents are welcome to call or to pick up children early if the storms upset you.
Today we will be eating tacos in those new salsa shells. The kids love them!
