Thursday, September 21st: Today, we traced over horizontal straight dotted lines to get ready to make horizontal lines on our own. We continued to learn about the square shape and the color blue too!
We watched our shape video again to help with shape recognition. We also watched a video on the computer about the color blue to reinforce color recognition. We glued a blue paper crayon, a blue paper ribbon, and a blue mitten on paper to show "things that are blue". We used glue sticks for the first time and the children did a great job!! We also did our second Religion paper and met Abby and Jamal, 2 of the children in our Religion stories. We talked about some of our favorite things and colored hearts next to our favorites! I read the children a story about Peppa Pig going apple picking which the children seemed to really enjoy!!
Our lunch program serviced by Cafe Morano will begin on Monday, September 25th.
You should check out the Corpus Christi Facebook page. I try to put up pictures as often as I can, especially when we are doing something extra special!
I suggest that all parents take a few minutes each night to review with the children what they learned in school. I have noticed that there are some children who are having difficulty holding the crayon correctly. Miss Soraya and I are showing them the correct pencil grip, but reinforcement at home will definitely benefit the children. Make sure your child colors at home as well because it is good practice for school and learning to stay inside the pictures. I also ask that your child uses your bathroom at home right before he/she leaves the house for school. It may help alleviate any accidents and the parade to the bathroom.
