Butterfly, Butterfly

We are learning so much here at preschool.  We already know how to hang up our backpacks and go wash our hands.  That is a great start!

On Wednesday and Thursday, we went outside and played on the stepping stones in our play yard.  We also got to use the wood blocks and the wrist ribbons.  We are very glad that it was a good day to go outside and play because we got to see ants and spider webs.  They were cool.

Our book was called "Butterfly, Butterfly" and there were beautiful pictures that we got to see.  There was a girl in the story and her name was Lucy.  She found a butterfly.  Then she lost it.  She looked very hard for it and she found a lot of things, but did she find that butterfly?

We will sing our "Welcome Song" everyday.  We also did the "Freeze", "If You Are Happy and You Know It" and "This Little Light of Mine".  We are having fun learning these songs.

Our Wednesday snack was very good.  We had cheese sticks and granola bars.  Thank you, Jordyn.

For snack on Thursday, we had cheese sticks.  Thank you, Landon.

Our first week of preschool is already over.  Who can believe it!  We are having so much fun.

A Very Busy Day

Welcome to Redeemer Preschool.  We are so happy that all of you are joining us this year.  We had a marvelous first day.  Thank you to all of the parents who were kind enough to send in the supplies that we have requested.  We appreciate that.

Today's story was "The Very Busy Spider" by Eric Carle.  For some reason this spider was too busy to play with anyone.  I wonder why she was so busy?

Due to our very squishy playground area, we stayed inside on Monday.  We got to play on the multi-surfaced balance beam, we played with Play Doh and we used the table top easels.  These things are fun.  But, one of the coolest things was that Mrs. Whiteman brought in some live crickets.  They even had their very own house.

On Tuesday, our playground was a little more dried out, so we were able to do our bumpy balance beam, scarves, ribbons and wooden blocks outside. 

While we were learning about our day, we also got to sing our 'Welcome Song', 'If You Are Happy and You Know It', and 'This Little Light of Mine'.  We are just starting to understand how things work here, so we did not do an Art activity yet. 

For snack on Monday, we had cheese crackers and grapes.  Yum.  On Tuesday, we had oranges and CheezIts.  They made the room small really good.
