We've had a crazy busy, and definitely fun, week already!
Here are some of the highlights from Monday and Tuesday:
We've been working in small groups again. The above picture is what our Guess Who's Coming to Dinner game looks like. I can already tell the children's counting skills are beginning to get better and better! It's been fun watching them grow!
We opened up a hair salon in our dramatic play area. We have been exploring jobs that involve water. So far we've talked about firefighters, car washes, and now hair salons. Today we had friends getting hair cuts, dying their hair all sorts of colors (including rainbow.... watch out parents! :P ), and getting manicures - all pretend, of course. We used water color paints as nail polish for one important reason: it washes off! These real experiences help children build all kinds of cognitive, social, and language skills!
Outside we've been playing Pick Pocket Tag. The kids tuck a long piece of fabric in their back pockets or in the waistband of their pants. When I say go, they try to pull the tail off their friends. If their tails get pulled they have to sit down, but they can still pull the tails of the friends who run by. It is hilarious to watch them play! Sometimes they end up circling each other for a long time - that makes me laugh every time!
For those of you who attended the Read-A-Thon, I'm going to ask that you turn in all of your pledges by next Thursday, November 3. (Holy cow! November already!) Have all checks written out to SON Shine Preschool. We'll deposit them all and then send one check to St. Jude's. Thanks again for coming and participating!
