Lots of Changes!

Hello Friends Around the Planet,

We have all sorts of new changes here at school. First off, our retaining wall in the big playground is being redone, so we are playing on the patio and infant grass area for the next 2 months, if there is no rain! Wow! We had fun watching the backhoes, bobcats and other equipment come into the yard and start their work! Everyday will be a new experience as the project progresses on.

Next, today was the first day of children bringing their lunches. Everyone dropped their lunch into the laundry basket near the sign in sheet. This meant bringing your lunch box/bag and seeing what sorts of surprises were in your lunch for today...we had chicken salad (yummm!), shrimp wrap, pizza, rice and veggies, pb & j sandwiches, a V8 juice and lots of other yummy things in lunches. Everyone seemed to enjoy what they had today. Then children learned about packing and zipping/snapping their bags/boxes up and put them back into the laundry basket to be taken home.

Plus the 3/4/5 year olds are working on the letter "F". We brainstormed what began with "F" and a creative multisensory way to write our "F"s. We made "Fog Paintings". We used grey paint and fingerpainted with it to make as many "F"s as we could in the paint. We had lots of them! It was a fun, sensory way to learn about letters.

Our 2 year olds made a color collage and matched colors and shapes together. It was a blast. Check out our bulletin board to see our masterpiece!

Lots more fun to come this week....come join us soon! Enjoy the pictures!
