More Shapes Week

This week continued our study of shapes and colors, and we practiced in many fun ways.  Since much of our learning takes place through activities that happen at school, you may not always see papers coming home, so I will try to document some of our fun through pictures (when I remember to pull out the camera!).

 

We matched shapes blocks to make pictures.

 

 

We practiced buttoning with felt shapes.

 

 

We learned about graphing by sorting and placing shapes on a floor graph.

 

 

We made shapes with our bodies. The kids had to think about how many people it would take to make each shape.

 

 

Besides shapes, we also learned more about colors and mixed finger paints to find out how to make new colors.

 

 

We also made our friend "Mat Man" using shapes and discussing our different body parts.

We are back in the swing of things here at Early Childhood! I can already tell it's going to be a great year!

Celebration of Learning

Thank you all for coming to our Celebration of Learning last night! It was such a fun way for us to celebrate some of the things we've learned this year and honor our friends who are moving on to Kindergarten. It can be a scary thing to be up on a stage in front of so many people, so I was very proud of all of my students for standing up there to perform. We've been working hard on those songs, so it was great to see them excited about singing for you too!

Thank you for all of your support during the school year.  For those of you who have children moving on from the Early Childhood Center, thank you for letting me be a part of their lives this year. For those whose children will be staying with us, I'm excited to see them grow even more next year.
