Holidays, Birthdays, and the Letters "S', "T" and "Z" (18th-21st)

MONDAY: PRESIDENTS DAY!!


TUESDAY:
Today in Group A, I introduced the Letter Ss, we practiced tracing with our fingers on the sand paper letters, then writing in our notebooks, we explored Teo's cool Planet Solar System, while Lizzie's Group worked on the Letter Zz, naming words that start with the Letter, and spelling them on a dry erase board! They always worked in their journals, practicing their writing.

WEDNESDAY:
Group A had a very successful outdoor work time. We first talked about Scissors, and Scissor Safety, passing the Scissors around, handing them to our friends the Safe way. Then 3 at a time, they practiced with a tray, Small Scraps of Paper, and Scissors. Focusing on their fine motor grip and learning to control where they cut the paper. While another 3 friends worked with SAND and glue. I helped draw a letter Ss on their construction paper with glue, while they Sprinkled Sand onto the glue. They lifted it up, Shook off the Sand and we hung them inside to dry!

THURSDAY:
HAT DAY for Ms Arielles Birthday! Almost all my friends came with hats from home, fire fighter hat, conductor hats, sombreros, and more were sported during our Birthday Dance Party! We then read "Hats for Sale" which suited the morning nicely.
Group A worked at the picnic table, using wine corks to make Stamps, and Stickers to fill in their letter S!

We decided to stay outside, since the weather was so great, and brought out some Soft bowling pins and a Small bowling ball. Jackie and I set up on the hill, while friends found a Seat, ready to watch. A few of our Primary friends started it off, focusing on the ball, and being so proud when knocking down the pins!

FRIDAY:

Today we had a lovely morning picnic and family meeting outside during dance party! Ms Toni explained to everyone our goal for the morning was to put color on everything on the playground!!! Each friend got a small cup with paint, and got to choose where they would be marking their spot at Green Sprout :) many friends picked the play scape, while some friends took it more literal and painted our yellow duck waterer, and shape sorter! :)

In the afternoon, we enjoyed some yummy popsicles with Ms Arielle for her birthday!

It was a fantastic week in the Sunflower Room!
