First Week of School! (9/7-9/9)

Welcome to School!

The first week of school was full of fun! Some children experienced a more difficult transition but everyone found  something new to enjoy and smile about during the school day. It was exciting to see children make new friends in the class while others found friends they have known from other classes. We look forward to getting to know children and their families as the school year continues. 


Trains and Towers

We saw many children exploring the materials in the block area. They combined tracks to create a long space for trains to ride on. They also experimented with different ways to build with the blocks we have in the classroom. 






















Investigating the Water Table

In the hot weather, we saw children enjoying the cool water table. They experimented with different sized cups and scoops to fill and dump the water.






















 Making Letters with Playdough

Playdough was especially popular with the class this week! After trying different ways to roll and flatten the dough, we offered children letter cutters to use as well. They searched for the letters in their names and pushed them into the playdough. 






















Listening to the Sounds from Marble Trees

Students noticed that when they dropped marbles down the trees, they made different sounds. Children smiled when they put their marbles in different spots and heard the music they could make.
