Wednesday Fun in March!





Mother Goose came to our class today. She brought a little green friend! Ask your child to sing you the Leprechaun song. We had a lot of fun with Mother Goose, we went to music class, finished up some art projects, and then celebrated with Alden for his Birthday!Remember to ask your child to sing to you, the "choo choo song". They love it!
See you all on Friday! Don't forget to wear your "green"!

Our Last Birthday of the Year! Alden turns 2!




We celebrated big today in class! Alden is our last classmate to turn 2 and we had such fun! We loved the yummy cupcake cones and were so busy! We had a visit from Mother Goose, Music Class (we're getting ready for our big show in May!). We were so busy we didn't even make it to the playground! WHEW!

March Activities!

"Painting with Mya is fun!"

Painting fluffy clouds, like Little Cloud! Ask your
child if they can find Little Cloud in the sky. They
loved reading this book in class. We also have Little
Cloud on our bulletin board in class.

When you just can't get the brush to do what you
want, drop it and use your fingers! Good tip,
Hadley! Cloud painting was fun with white paint
and shaving creme!

More Scenes from Music, etc...

At the end of our class, we get a stamp! We have
to show we're ready by placing our hand on our
head!




More Music Class Fun!

Listening to the Farm Animals Sounds and matching
them to their place on the puzzle. Lots of fun. Ask your
child what they say!



Playing the xylophone in Music Class with Mrs. Elizabeth

Music Class in March ~ Shakey Eggs

Shake them behind your back...


Shake them up high...


Shake them up front...


The children love to use Mrs. Elizabeth's Shakey Eggs.
They shake them to "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star".

Classroom Scenes from March

Waiting so patiently for Music Class to begin...

We are learning to line up at the door. We stand on a number, (stickers on the floor) then the door can open! Aren't they smart??


Snack time fun!



We wash/dry/fold our hands before snack. Ask your child if they can show you how we do this. We wash with sanitizer, dry (shake shake shake), and fold for our blessing. We have a few more participants in the singing lately - good job!

Welcome to March! Circle Time Fun





The children have become so patient at circle time. We are up to 15-20 minute circle times now which usually include 3 stories, counting 1-10, naming shapes and colors at the felt board, and sometimes a song! We are so impressed with their listening skills and growing attention spans. They are so smart and WOW us each morning!
