What We Did This Week

Welcome to May!

May 8th 2024

We have had a fantastic week with our Stars! Because of the rain we had an abbreviated outside time and spent the rest of our recess period participating in music and movement. Our older friends were introduced to new learning materials: alphabet and number matching cards, and the science land, water, and air activity. During their individual learning period our friends practiced their pincer grip, tracing shapes and drawing lines. After this, our friends made abstract art using scrap colored paper and glue. Check out our masterpieces!

We had a wonderful visit from our local library! A librarian came to each of our Star’s classes and read two stories called “Ugly Frog” and “Three Little Fish.” Our friend’s favorite book was “Ugly Frog.” Today during the individual work cycle, the students focused on building with blocks, painting with rollers, and working on small motor skills using playdough and tools. We also finished our Mother’s Day gifts! Our friends can’t wait to share their gifts with their moms!

What a great Friday! Today during the individual work cycle, the students worked on building with magnets, small blocks, and completed their mother’s day crafts. We also continued to practice our pincer grip while writing. During circle time we talked about the special plans we have for Mother’s Day and had a blast with “show and share” time. Everyone did such a great job speaking about their item they brought from home. Our friends also enjoyed a break from the rainy weather outside with their peers.
