We have been very busy in the classroom over the past week. The children are transitioning very nicely and the teachers are able to get to know their own unique personalities! We are very much looking forward to this upcoming school year. We have been adding more materials to our art studio. This week we began studying crayons and the various ways to use them. The children have been creating different lines and shapes. The crayons will now be a permanent part of our classroom art studio. Feel free to stop in and check them out, as well as some documentation about the development of our art studio. Over the next few weeks we will begin studying pencils and crayons. We will begin creating self portraits and working on our classroom identity board. If you have questions about the identity board, feel free to ask Ms. Ala or Ms. Shaw (our interns). They will begin developing a plan with the children over the next few weeks. Also, keep an eye out in your email for a welcome letter from the interns. They should be arriving soon!
We have also been experimenting with various building materials. We noticed all the children (especially our Tuesday/Thursday group) really like to build. We have brought out legos, magnatiles, wooden blocks and other materials to build. The magnatiles have been a big hit so far! Over the next few weeks we will continue to get to know the children and their interests. We look forward to developing our learning groups and documenting the work of our children.
Enjoy the weekend!
