September 16, 2019, Monday

M for Marvelous Monday! We continue to talk about the letter M.  Soon our letter will change weekly.  Our morning workshop tables were apple erasers with shape making mats, water marbles in our water table, and race track with cars.

At morning meeting we shared about our weekend, had tweet and greet and reviewed our Hickory Dickory Dock Clock schedule.  We sang the days of the week song and danced to our alphabet phonics songs.

Snack was grapes, cheese sticks and cheese nip crackers.  After snack we read a story about families and how all families are different.  This was a great lead in to our Super Family Cape presentations.  Thank you for sending in the homework page.  Please feel free to look at them all hanging on the door in the block room.  When we have such discussions after snack, we tend to skip teacher centers as the children have been sitting and listening for a good chunk of time.  We headed right outside to get some exercise on this beautiful day.

At recess we offered bike riding, bouncy balls, sandbox play with the play kitchen, lawn mowers, slide, teeter totter, and water table discovery.  Some children took turns watering the garden with watering cans.

After lunch we worked on painting our capes and some children met with the teachers to draw self-portraits, work on name writing and letter recognition.
