YEE HAW...
The rodeo showed up at school today!
 
 
The creative juices were flowing this morning as we began by
creating works of art. We used crayons, scissors & glue.
 



 
The afternoon class started the day with outside play, since the
weather was more cooperative today.
 



There were some Power Rangers spotted on the playground...



 
We sang our morning songs at circle.
 
The afternoon class worked on alphabet fluency, letter sounds and calendar.
We are enjoying a fun, new song about the months of the year. We can
already sing it because we already know the months of the year!
 
We all joined in to recite some of the nursery rhymes that we
 have been reading.
 
 
We had a visit from the pink cowgirl today.
 
 
 She brought some rodeo
 centers to challenge our motor skills.
 












"Howdy, Ma'am!"
 
We worked in groups today to discover, continue or create patterns.
 


 
 
Miss Julie brought a book for us to read together in the afternoon.
Then she played a cowboy themed game of I Have...Who has...?,
with her Wednesday group.
 
 
Enjoy this long weekend. We will return next Tuesday!

Welcome Back...
to a short week!
*No school on Thursday or Friday this week.
Tucson celebrates RODEO!
 
The morning class enjoyed a chilly time on the
 playground when they arrived.
 

 
The afternoon class began with creating a beautiful project.
They used paper, crayons, scissors and glue.
 



Don't you just love bunny clouds?

 
We sang our circle songs in the morning, with a focus on letters,
 colors and shapes.
 


 
The afternoon circle completed calendar.
 
 
Miss Kathy shared a classic nursery rhyme, with a silly twist.
 It was about a woman that looked for a bone for her dog.
 
 
 
We had fun dancing to Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes for
 a movement break.
 
 
Today our lesson focus was on numbers. The morning class sang
 a song about numbers, then colored and used scissors to cut numbers 1-10.
 


 
The afternoon class worked with numbers to 20!
They focused on the way the numerals, in a base ten system,
follow a pattern. The children wrote the numbers 1-10 and
then colored to 20 with a pattern.
 
 
It took a little longer for us to get out the door today because
we actually had to wear jackets to school. :)
