Rainbow, Rainbow, Rainbow 'Round Me!

We began our first full week with lots of rainbow colors and rainbow songs. The children mixed primary colors to create many colors, danced with rainbows, and listened to stories about rainbow colors. We had a "lesson" in color names with Rosalba, and sang a rainbow song with Sarah (our music teacher). Each day brings a new discovery for the 4 year olds, including the writing table, playing with large blocks, the science table of colors, and different costumes of different colors. The children are learning about classroom responsibilities and our "comforter" job has been tried already! The messages that the children are writing include stories from home, welcoming messages, and illustrations. For this first post there are a LOT of pictures, but in the future, well, maybe there'll be less!
Until next time,
Michele

And Here it is, September!

Welcome to school! We are ready for a year of discoveries and play and learning. The first sessions of school were very adventurous for the children as they found gloves in the dress up area, colored playdough, plenty of colored tape, blocks to make ramps with, and most importantly the writing table and  journals. We learned to breathe calmly while we watched glitter settle in a jar at circle time, and have already made some new friends.  Monday will be here soon, and we will have our own jobs to do. Stay tuned for more fun and learning!
Until Next Time,
Michele
