The four year old class had another very busy day!  We are still working on the letter Q, and heard a story about an alien traveling to outerspace.  We also practiced writing our names and listening for other letter sounds.  Please take note that graduation is on Tuesday, May 25th at 6p.m. 

The three year old class was very busy today, I cannot believe that we are almost done with school.  Please do not forget that we are going to the hospital on Thursday so we can be doctors to our own stuffed animals.  We are meeting at school at 8:15, to leave by 8:30.  Our time at the hospital will last about an hour.  Have a great evening!

It is so hard to believe that we have started working with our last letter, the letter Q!  We listened to the q sound, and discovered that when we write the letter q in words, he always needs a partner, the letter u.  We heard a story about a quail that was always quiet and had a very special quilt.  We also painted with Q-tips and practiced writing the letter Q! 

 

A special note, the date for graduation may be changed due to a scheduling conflict at the church.  I will let you know as soon as I know!

The four year old class had a good day.  It is so hard to believe that next week, we will be working with our last letter (the letter Q) for our alphabet books.  Today, we finished up with the letter W and listened for w words in sentences.  We also practiced saying our ABC's and made a special gift for daddies.  Have a great weekend, and we will see you on Monday!

The three year old class had a good day.  We reviewed all of our letters, plus made two really messy, really fun crafts.  One is a special gift for Daddy and the other is a beautiful flower for our hallway.  We were not able to use the elevator, so we went on an adventure and used the steps.  We also had extra playtime in our room, since we were not able to use the gym. Please do not forget that next Thursday is our field trip to the Teddy Bear Clinic at St. Joseph's hospital.  Have a great weekend!

The four year old class had another busy day. We are trying hard to complete all of our end of the year things, so you can see how much we have learned.  We continued to work with the letter W and listening for w words.  We heard a story about wild things, and discussed if the story was real or pretend.  We also practiced counting out syllables.  Please do not forget that our homework for the week is a letter W picture, and next week we need a letter Q picture.  After next week, (unless your child is missing letters), we will no longer have letter homework.   Enjoy your evening, and we will see you on Friday.

The four year old class worked really hard today.  It is hard for me to believe that we only have 2 letters left for our ABC book.  This week's homework is W, and next week we will need Q.  I will be sending home one more letter to let you know if you are missing any other letters.  The class practiced writing the letter W as well as adding the w sound to words to make new words.  We also made a beautiful Spring flower for the hallway.  Have a great evening, and we will see you on Wednesday!

Miss Pam and I hope that all the mommies and grandmothers (and one daddy), enjoyed our Mommy and Me Day!  The boys and girls worked really hard on the gifts and programs.  Next week, we will be working on the letter W, and our ABC books are almost complete.  I have had time to go through the books and will be sending you another list of missing letters, if your child has any.  Have a great Mother's day weekend, and we will see you all on Monday!

Thank you so much for coming to the Mommy and Me Day.  The class was so excited to present their gifts to you, and to preform for you.  I know that they were really quiet while on the stage, but I promise they have been working super hard.  Before our special day, we did hear about a kitten who lost her purr, and found it again when she was with her mommy. We also practiced recognizing and saying our alphabet.  Do not forget that we have no school on Tuesday, May 11th, due to Election Day.  We will see you next Thursday!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!  We did not celebrate here at school, as we are preparing for the Mommies special day on Friday.  Please do not forget that the morning class time is from 9:45 to 11:00, and the afternoon times are 1:45-3:00.  We did continue to work with our letter X, and had a take home paper.  The paper is not homework, it's just extra practice.  Have a great evening, and we are looking forward to seeing you on Friday!

The three year old class worked so hard on their Mommy and Me Program today.  We may not be perfect, but everything they are doing is out of love for all the mommies.  Please do not forget our special day is Thursday, May 6, starting at 9:45.  We also worked with the letter Z today, and made a zebra picture for our ABC book.  Miss Pam and I will be working through each and everybook the next week or so to make sure all the letters are complete.  Have a great day, and we will see you on Thursday!

The four year old classes worked really hard with the letter X today.  We learned that X is a consonant and that not a lot of words begin with the letter X.  We did find some words that end with the letter X sound.  We also heard a story about x-ray fish and saw pictures of x-rays.  We also practiced our mommy and me day activites.  Please do not forget that our celebration of mommies is on Friday.  Have a great evening!

The four year olds worked really hard today, learning about the letter J and Jesus.  We made Jesus puppets, as well as heard j words in a story about a pig and a jet.  We reviewed questions and question marks, as well as remembering how we know something belongs.  We also worked very hard on our special surprises for our Mommies.  Have a great evening!

The three years had a very busy day.  We began to learn the letter Y, and heard about a yak that always said yuk to new foods.  Then one day, she tried them and thought they were yummy.  We also worked very hard on our Mommy and me day activities.  Check your child's folder for a permission slip, as we are going to the Teddy Bear Clinic in May.  Have a great evening!

The three year old class is working with the letter X this week.  We have learned about x-rays, x-ray fish, and xylophones.  We also found out that there are not a lot of letter X words, but that's the letter pirates choose to bury their treasure under.  We also have begun to make some "surprises" for mommies, so do not be alarmed if there are no papers in your child's folder.  We are trying to keep them a secret!  Have a good evening!

Instead of working with the letter J today, we began learning about our bodies and how to keep them healthy.  Remember both classes are attending the Teddy Bear Clinic on Wednesday!  Thank you for all the letter J homework, we will work really hard on the letter J next week.  We made a first aid kit, after exploring the kit we have at school and we also began making a book about our bodies.  We will finish our books on Friday.  Have a great evening!

The four year old class had a good day.  We did not get to play in our gym, but we played in the downstairs room.  We continued to work with the letter V and made letter V vases, as well as wrote some letter v words.  We also celebrated Spring, and dug for worms in the dirt to eat.  Don't worry moms, our dirt was chocolate pudding, and our worms were gummy!  We will not be doing the letter J next week, as we are taking our field trip to the Teddy Bear Clinic.  If you have not returned your permission slip, please do so by Monday.  Have a great weekend!

The four year old class had another busy day.  We worked with the letter V and practiced listening for vowels sounds in the middle of words and we also practiced listening for the number of words in sentences.  We have been discussing the change of weather, so we painted raindrops to hang in our classroom.  We also made new Spring glitter names for our hallway, where each child wrote their own name!  We are beginning to work on some "secrets" and "surprises" for our families, so watch out, they may not tell you what is happening at school.  Don't forget that we are taking a field trip next Wednesday, so permission slips are due, and homework for the week is the letter V pictures.  Have a great evening!

The three year old class had a really good day.  We began learning about the letter W and heard a story about a worm and his wagon.  We colored a picture of the worm, and on Thursday, we will be digging for worm.  These worms will be of the gummy variety, and our dirt will be pudding, so we can eat them too!  We also talked about the weather change and the fact that we are now in Spring!  We painted raindrops to hang from our ceiling, because we know that these spring showers are preparing the Earth for beautiful flowers, trees and grass.  Next week, we will be doing a lot of painting, so dress your child accordingly.  Have a great evening!

Welcome back.  The four year old classes worked with the letter V on our first day back.  Please remember to send in letter V pictures for homework this week.  Also, we have a field trip scheduled for April 21st, so do not forget to send back in permission slips.  We heard a story about Vera the Viper receiving a valentine to reinforce our letter V sound, and we also practiced counting syllables.  We reviewed the Easter story and completed a journal page about how we spent our spring break. 

The three year old class had a good party, thanks to all who helped.  Before we went to our party, we worked on coloring pictures that retold the Easter story.  We listened to a story where the dicisples told the Easter story to us.  Miss Pam and I hope that each of you have a blessed Easter and a wonderful Easter break. 

March came in like a lion, and went out like a lamb.  I really do not know where the whole month went, it was like it flew by!  Thank you so much for the wonderful Easter parties. I am sure the kids had a wonderful time.  Before we celebrated Easter with our parties, the classes listened to the Easter story and why Jesus died for us.  We also made an Easter card and and a good news megaphone to share the story with our families.  Miss Pam and I want to wish all of you a blessed Easter and a restful Spring Break!

The three year old class had a very busy day today.  We are not learning a new letter this week, but spent time reviewing them all.  We heard the story "J is for Jesus" and heard the true Easter story with every letter of the alphabet.  We also colored Easter Eggs and a yellow duck.  Please do not forget that our party is on Thursday.  Have a great evening!

Check you child's folder for a permssion slip to the Teddy Bear Clinic.  The four year old classes did not learn a new letter, but spent time today reviewing our vowels and hearing about the true meaning of Easter.  We learned that Jesus died on the cross for the punishment (and now I know what works at home for punishment) for our sins, but he rose again and is alive.  We love the Easter bunny and we are working on learning that he is not the reason that we celebrate Easter.  We also colored Easter eggs and completed our bunny books.  Have a great evening!

We also had to color something green in honor of St. Patrick's Day.  Next week, we will be working with letter V, and we are still waiting on decorated Easter eggs to come back to school.  Have a great weekend!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  The leprechauns did visit our classroom and placed themselves everywhere, they even left their song playing on the radio!  Those silly leprechauns.  We did learn the reason why we celebrate St. Patrick's Day, and the word leprechaun can mean shoemaker.  We also practiced our letter y sounds and made a yellowjacket, and worked with the remember word 'you.'  We wrote the numbers 5-10, and their words too!  The leprechauns also left us a picture to color of them, so we those have been sent home as well.  I will not be at school on Friday, Miss Pam and Miss Cindy will be here, so have a great weekend!  I will see you Monday, and our letter is the letter D.

Another fun day here at Small Wonders.  The 4 yr old class is still working with the letter B, today we heard another version of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" and we heard a funny story about a bear that hosted a surpise sleepover.  The story taught us about sharing, and being nice to others that may be different than us.  We also practiced writing the letter B on a balloon page.  We reviewed the numbers 1-10 today by counting objects and matching it to the correct number.  I want to let you all know that I will not be here on Friday, due to the fact that my mom is having surgery on Thursday.  I have let both classes know (they think mom is going to the dr.), and so they are not surprised that Miss Sharon will be here.  So, please have a great weekend, and next week's letter is U. 

The three year old class had a good day.  We reviewed our letters A through P, and began working with the letter Q.  Q is a quiet letter, so we have practiced being quiet all day.  It was a little rough for some of us, but we did it.  We also were able to paint with a Q-tip and color a picture of a queen.  In the gym today, we practiced counting to five!  Have a great evening, and we will see you on Thursday!

Its been a long time since I have been on here, since it's been a long time for us not being at school.  I hope everyone enjoyed their snow break!  Today, with the four year old classes, we reviewed our letters and began working with the letter K.  We heard a story about kangeroos that play kazoos.  We also practiced our rhyming words as well as tried to finish show and tell. If you child has not sent in an item for show and tell, you may do so the rest of this week. We are still working on our unit about the clothes that we wear in the snow, so check out the mittens we made today. Homework for the week is letter K pictures,and our at home project (a snowman) will also be sent home this week.  Have a great evening!

It feels like such a long time since I have been on here, or since we have been at school! Both four year old classes worked hard into getting back into our routine, even though we started the day off with girls show and tell.  Wednesday is boys show and tell!  Please do not forget.  We also reviewed all of our letters and sounds as well as started to learn about Winter.  We discussed the clothes that we need to wear in the cold, and heard the story "The Mitten."  Each child laced a mitten and then colored animals from the story to put in their mittens!  Have a great evening, and we will see you Wednesday!

Thank you so much for a wonderful party!  I hope you enjoyed our program and our special visit from Santa.  Please remember that we do not return to school until January 5th.  I hope everyone has a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thank you to both classes for wonderful Christmas parties!  Every thing was wonderful, and we hope that you enjoyed their presentation and our visit from Santa.  Before our party, we worked on patterns with our jingle bell necklaces, and decorated foam Christmas trees.  We also heard the story of Jesus' birth.  Please remember that we return to school on January 4th.  Have a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year!

We have so much to, and not much time left before Christmas break.  January snack calendars are being sent home this week, so make sure you are looking for it.  We also need letter R pictures and stockings.  Today, both four year old classes began working with the letter R, and we realized that Rudulph begins with that sound.  We also heard a story about a rabbit growing a radish.  We practiced writing the letter R, pulling apart compound words and finished some Christmas activities.  Please do not forget about our party on Monday!

The three year old class had a very busy first day back, and you could tell it was our first day back from break!  We began to look at the letter L and heard a story about a laughting lamb.  We also made lamb pictures to take home.  With Miss Pam, we made new glitter names for the hallway in Winter colors.  Our Fall glitter names, as well as our at home projects are being saved for you in our ABC books!  New book orders have been sent home.  I sent everyone information to order online, but you may still send them to me as well.  Orders have to be placed by next Thursday.  We have also started talking about Christmas, and the fact that Santa does come, but we are also celebrating Jesus' birthday.  Have a great evening!

The four year old classes had a great, but busy first day back from Thanksgiving break.  Each child completed a journal page to tell what they did over the break.  We also started learning the letter S, and heard a story about a Seal's silly Sandwich.  The classes also listened for ending sounds in words.  Each child also completed an advent chain to count down to Christmas.  We have one hanging in our class as well.  The candy cane is placed to be in the shape of a "J" for Jesus, and even though we know Santa is coming too, we are counting down the days until Jesus' birthday.  Letter S homework is due this week, and at home Christmas trees will be sent home soon.  Have a great evening!

The four year old classes had a good day today!  We heard an ABC story about the true meaning of Thanksgiving and all the work that went into it.  We were also surprised that the first Thanksgiving lasted three days!  We also heard a funny story about turkeys running away, so they could not be eaten at Thanksgiving.  We colored a turkey and a pilgrim, and gave you recipe for your Thanksgiving turkey.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break, and we will see you back at school on Monday, November 30^th!

Ice cream recipe

 

Ingredients

½ cup milk

¼ cup half and half

1 tablespoon sugar

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

2 sandwich size Ziploc bags

1 gallon size Ziploc bag

2 cups of ice

1 tablespoon salt

 

1. Fill one sandwich sized bag with ½ cup of milk, ¼ cup of half and half, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract.  Seal the bag, and try to remove as much air as possible.  Place that bag inside the second sandwich bag and seal that bag as well. (Miss Pam and I did this the night before and placed the mix in the refrigerator.)

 

 

2. Fill the gallon size with 2 cups of ice and I tablespoon of salt.  Place the smaller bag with the mix into the larger bag, and seal it firmly, getting as much air out as you can.  We had to double bag some of the gallon size, which still worked fine.

 

3. Then shake the bags silly.  We listened to music (about 6 songs) danced, and shook our bags.  We shook them for about 5 to 10 minutes, and Miss Pam and I helped some of them.  Their hands (and ours) got a little cold.  The mix should harden as you shake.

 

4. If you want harder ice cream, place the bag of soft ice cream into the freezer for 1-2 hours and then enjoy.  Also, you can add some of your favorite treats to your ice cream.  Stir in chocolate chips or a few drops of peppermint for mint ice cream.  Be creative and let your child try to make different flavors.

The three year old class had a busy day today.  We practiced our ABC's by singing the song and looking through flashcards.  We are trying to put pictures with words.  We also made a kite for our ABC book as well as a kangaroo picture to take home.  The week after Thanksgiving break, we need mommies and grandmommies to send in old, not used lipstick (Dec 1st).  We are going to be learning the letter L, and have some ideas for the lipstick.  Have a great weekend!

The four year old classes had a very busy day!  We continued to work with the letter I and heard a story about how ice cream is made.  We also made an ingredient list for ourselves, because we are going to make ice cream on Friday.  We did make a paper ice cream cone with with Miss Pam, which helped us practice our cutting skills.  We practiced our ABC's, naming vowels, and counting syllables.  We also practiced the number 6.  We do not have a lot of school left until Thanksgiving break, so please do not forget to send in your child's turkey!

The three year old class had a very busy day today!  We learned the letter K, and heard a story about kangeroos playing kazoos.  We also glued and colored kite pictures.  We also heard a story about the true meaning of Thanksgiving and made a turkey puppet with Miss Pam.  We only have two days before Thanksgiving break, so please do not forget to send in your turkey.

Both four year old classes had a good day!  We started learning about the letter I and the two sounds it makes.  We learned that the letter I is a vowel and we also practiced counting words in sentences and writing the letter.  We also heard a Thanksgiving story and made turkey puppets. We do not have a lot of time left until Thanksgiving break, so do not forget to send in your turkeys. 

Sorry that this is late getting posted.  As you all know, I was not at school on Friday, but thank you to Miss Sharon and Miss Cindy for helping us out.  Miss Pam said that both classes had a great day, and continued to work with the letter M.  They heard a story about a Moose with a loose tooth, and a Moose with a silly mustache.  They also made moose masks that were sent home today.  The class also practiced writing the letter M.

Another busy day for the three year old class.  We continued to learn about the letter J, and made jack in the box pictures for our ABC book.  We also heard the story of Jonah, which we want to learn because it helps us obey God.  Our hand/feet turkeys are completed and were sent home today.  The class had a really good time putting them together.  We also worked with the square shape today!  Thank you so much for all of your donations to "Operation Christmas Child."  We are so blessed by all that you have to share.  Have a great weekend!

The three year old class had such a busy day today!  We began by learning the letter J, and heard a story about Jesus.  We also heard a story about jam and a jungleberry party.  We made jewled letter J's (they will go home on Thursday, the glue wasn't dry), told Miss Pam things we were thankful for, and started a cute turkey to go with our Thanksgiving theme.  We have gotten a lot of turkeys back for homework, please do not forget to send your child's in!  Have a great evening!

The four year old classes had a great day.  We started working with the letter M and heard a story about a monkey having a miserable Monday, which none of us had!  We also completed our cornacopia's today, which each child cut out their own.  We practiced writing the letter M and discussed our reasons for being thankful.  I want to let parents know that I will not be here on Friday, due to the state volleyball tournament, but Miss Pam will be here.  I have explained my absence to both classes, but wanted to make parents aware as well.  Please do not forget to send in book orders, turkeys, and letter M homework this week, also remember there is no school on Wednesday!  Have a great evening!

The four year old classes had a great day at school today.  We continued to work with the letter N and listened to another story about Noah and even watched a short movie about Noah.  We reviewed what it means to obey, and who we should obey.  We also learned that God never breaks a promise.  We practiced counting syllables and fingerpainted brown.  Our finger paintings will be turned in cornocopias as we study Thanksgiving and harvest.  Please do not forget to send in letter homework (next week is M), turkeys and your items for Operation Christmas child.  Have a great weekend!

Wow, we sure were busy today.  We continued working with the letter I, and reviewed all of our other letters.  We heard a story about and iguana that needed to stay cool and eat ice cream, and we colored a picture of ice cream for our ABC book.  We also learned about the first Thanksgiving, and how the Native Americans helped the Pilgrims, so make sure you look at our feathers!  Please make sure to read your letter about Spring Break to make sure you have the correct dates!  Have a great weekend!

The four year old classes had a great day.  They really loved seeing their class turkeys, made with their hands and feet.  We continued working with the letter n, and heard the story of Noah.  We learned that the word obey means to follow the rules and directions.  We also talked about who we should obey.  We practiced our alphabet, saying our vowels, and learned about syllables.  Our number was the number 5, which we practiced counting and writing.  Don't forget to send in your turkeys!  Plus, we have a beautiful pink sparkly turkey, with brown feathers, but no name.  We have shown her to both classes, and no one has claimed her!  Have a great evening!

What a wonderful day to welcome November to our three year old class.  We began by working with our letter I, and we made pretend ice cream cones.  We also heard a story about how ice cream is made.  We also looked at the triangle shape, and practiced tracing it.   Our cone was in the shape of a triangle, too!  Miss Pam also began tracing our hands and feet for the feathers of our class turkey.  We are also learning about Thanksgiving, and reasons that we have to be thankful.  Please don't forget to send in your turkey homework for our hallway!  Have a great evening. 

What a busy day the four year old class had.  We are now in November, and started learning the letter N.  Miss Pam and Miss Taylor traced our hands and feet, which will be turned into a class turkey.  We also started learning about Thanksgiving and wrote down what we are thankful for.  We practiced writing the letter n, and made a nest to remember what n sounds like.  Please do not forget to send in your letter n homework and your turkey!  Have a great evening!

Both parties were absolutly wonderful today, thank you parents for all your help.  Before we had our party, we did review the letter a and practiced our cutting skills.  We also practiced writing our names as well as rhyming words.  Next week, we will be working with the letter N.  Have a great weekend!

The three year old class had a great party!  Thank you to all who sent items, volunteered, or just came to our party.  I know that the class had a wonderful time.  Before we came down for the party, we completed our "skeleton" hands for our ABC book, and a bat that we have been looking for in our Spooky walk.  We also heard a story about a dinosuar that goes trick or treating!  Next week, we will begin working with the letter I and the shape of a triangle.  Have a great weekend!

The four year old class had a great day.  We reviewed all the letters that we have learned (g,h,l,o,p,t, and a) as well as rhyming words.  We practiced saying our ABC's as well as writing our names.  We also worked on patterns, using pumpkins and the letter p.  We made Halloween bats with Miss Pam, and we also began to carve out pumpkins.  Do not forget that our party is on Friday!  Have a great evening! 

It feels like such a long time since we have been to school.  We were so glad to be back today, after our exciting field trip to the farm last week.  Thanks again to all who helped us.  This week, the 3 yr old class will be working with the letter H, and what a good time since we are celebrating Halloween as well!  Today, we heard a story about a Hippo playing Hide and seek and made hand print pumpkins.  We also traced our hands, to which we are going to add bones to, for our ABC book.  The class also colored jack-o-lanterns to take home.  Do not forget, Thursday is our Halloween Party!

Thanks to everyone who endured the farm today.  I know it was rainy, but I think everyone had a good time.  We did get to enjoy the hay ride before the rain, and most of the corn maze.  The animals were by far our favorite.  We didn't get to go into the pumpkin patch, but everyone did get to bring home a pumpkin.  Please do not forget that there is no school on Monday, but parent teacher conferences.  Also, we have no letter homework this week, as we are reviewing the letters we have already learned and celebrating Halloween.  Have a great weekend!

The three year old class had a great trip to the farm.  When we arrived, we were named the sheep group, so we got to "baa" all day.  We saw minature horses, ducks, goats, rabbits, and pigs.  We actually got to feed the goats.  We toured a scented garden, walked the corn maze, and picked our own pumpkins from the pumpkin patch.  The last part of our trip was the hay ride to see the cows, and I think that was our favorite!  I bet each child is tired, because I know I am!  Thank you parents for all those who helped make our trip a success!

The four year olds had a very busy day today!  We talked about what kinds of things that we would see at the farm, as well as sang farm songs.  We also made ears of corn to hang by our scarecrows, since we will get to see a cornfield on Friday.  Please make sure that you child is in tennis shoes, and comfortable clothes.  Also, be prepared for rain.  We are still meeting at school to leave around 9:15.  Also, today, we continued to work with the letter a as well as listened for how many sounds are in words.  We practiced with three letter words, like log and hog.  Have a great evening!

This is a really short week for our three year old class. Remember, Thursday is our field trip to the farm, and we are not coming to school until 9:15.  If you have not sent in your money, I will need it before we leave the school.  We will be at the farm between 9:45 and 10 to begin our tour, eat lunch at 11:30, and will be done by one.  If at any time, you and your child are ready to leave, just let Miss Pam or I know, so we can keep an accurate head count, and don't forget your lunches!  Today, we looked at the letter G and made a goat for our ABC book.  We also learned about goats and hope that we get to see one at the farm.  We also practiced the square shape.  We heard a story about squares, and traced them with our crayons.  Have a great evening, and see you on Thursday!

The four year old classes began working with the letter A today.  We discussed the fact that the letter A is the second vowel that we have learned, and all vowels make two sounds.  We practiced writing upper and lowercase A, as well as heard a letter a story about Abbey Alligator.  We also made apple prints with Miss Pam.  Our orange fingerpainting is being sent home today.  Each child cut out their own pumpkin.  We are working on our cutting skills!  Please pray for no rain on Friday, as that is our trip to the farm!  If you haven't sent in your permission slip and money, please do so by Wednesday!  Have a great evening!

Wow, we think that there is a weather change in the air!  Both classes were very active and vocal today.  We continued to work with the letter P, and heard stories about growing pumpkins and runaway pumpkins.  We practiced listening for letter P words and making letter p sounds.  We also reviewed all of our other letters.  Both classes got to fingerpaint orange with Miss Pam, which we will turn into pumpkins next week.  Next week, we will begin learning the letter A and talking about the farm.  Please do not forget that letter a pictures, permission slips, and money are due next week.  Have a great weekend!

The three year old class continued to work with the letter F.  We completed Rainbow Fish for our ABC book after we heard the story about Rainbow fished and emphasized sharing our things.  We also reviewed our letters A-F and learned about what squirrels do in the Fall to get ready for Winter.  And since we are going to the farm next week to see pumpkins, we heard a story about how pumpkins grow.  If you have not sent in your permission slip, please do so on Tuesday, so we may have an accurate count of all those attending.  Have a great weekend!

The four year old class had a good day.  We continued to learn about the letter P, and made pumpkin puppets.  We reviewed our story about pigs going on a picnic, and then heard the story about the Three Little Pigs.  We were such good listeneners today!  We also worked with the number 4.  Please do not forget to send your permission slips and money for next week. The cost is $5.00  per person.  Have a good evening!

The three year old class had a good day today.  We started learning about the letter F and made a letter F fish tank.  We also started our rainbow fish for our ABC book, but we have not heard the story yet.  The story we did hear was about a fish saving a lost flute and a pout-pout fish that turned into a smooch-smooch fish.  Please do not forget that permission slips and book order money are due on Thursday, and we still need more pumpkins for our hallway.  Have a great evening!

The four year old class had another good day.  We began to talk about the letter P today, which was great because we all those great pumpkins to look at.  If your child has not sent in their pumpkin, you still have time.  Also, do not to forget to send in your letter P pictures for our ABC books.  We practiced writing the letter P today, as well as made a pig mask.  Make sure to check your child's folder, as permission slips and conference times went home today.  Also, we received some information from the Mid-Ohio Valley health department concerning the flu that lets us know preventive measures and syptoms of the flu.  We will be running copies of this information to send home to each family.  Have a great evening!

The four year old classes had a great day.  Again, I want to say thank you for all of your understanding with our parking lot!  I think it will be back to normal on Monday!  Today we finished up with the letter T and learned more about scarecrows and squirrels.  We heard another story about a scarecrow that was ready to rest.  We also practiced our rhyming and compound words.  Next week is the letter P, so do not forget to send in your letter P pictures as well as your pumpkin!  Have a great weekend!

Another interesting day for the three year old class.  Thanks for being so understanding as all this construction is going on.  We also were unable to use the gym because MOPS met today, but we had a great time in our classroom.  We went on a "Spooky Walk" ( a song like the Bear Hunt, but searching for Halloween things) three times.  The class loved it.  We also played a pumpkin patch game.  The class did continue to work with the letter E, and made a engine (out of shapes) for their ABC book.  We also traced and reviewed some shapes.  The class also learned, with the help of Clifford, what a scarecrows job is.  Thanks for sending in your homework, our hallway is starting to look like a pumpkin patch!  Have a great weekend!

Thank you to all of you for being so understanding with the parking situation!  Hopefully things will be back to normal (or as normal as we can be) by next week.  We continuened to work with our letter t today, and heard another story about a turtle that would not move.  We also learned about scarecrows and why they try to scare birds in the sky.  We also practiced our number three!  The morning class had a practice fire drill today as well.  Please do not forget to send in your letter homework and your pumpkins.  Have a great evening!

Thank you everyone for you understanding with our parking lot situation.  The children (and parents) did very well for using a different door, and lining up in different spots.  I am not sure what Thursday holds, if the parking lot gets lined, then we will be back to normal, if not, look for us at the other doors.  The class had a good day today, we began to work with the letter E and made letter E elephants as well as heard a story about and elephant and his circus show.  We also practiced more tracing!  We reviewed our letters, A-D, and learned more about what happens in the fall.  Please do not forget to send in your decorated pumpkins.  We have already started lining the hallway with them, and they look great!  Have a great evening!

More construction information.  The parking lot is being resurfaced, so we will be entering and exiting the main doors, across from the bank.  Please look for us there.  Hopefully, this will be done by next week, and we will be back to normal.  Today, we began working with the letter t, and heard a story about a turtle, and a teeny, tiny teacher.  We practiced writing the letter t, and made a turtle to take home.  We also practiced rhyming words, and compound words.  Please do not forget that every week, when we learn a new letter, we need a picture for our ABC book.  We also are still waiting pumpkin pictures to come back to school.  Have a great evening!

The four year old classes had an interesting day.  Painting was happening downstairs, so our routine was a little off, but we made the most of it.  We were not able to get downstairs to play, so we watched a movie today.  The movie was about a caterpillar that didn't feel special, but learned that God was not finished with him yet.  The movie will remind us that God is not finished with us yet, either!  We continued to work with our letter H, and used shapes to make a "house" picture, and practiced writing the letter h as well.  We also reviewed the letters l,o,g as well.  Please do not forget the letter t homework, as well as the pumpkin.  Have a great weekend!

Our three year old class had a very busy day today.  We continued to work with the letter D, and completed our doll pictures for our ABC book.  Miss Taylor read us a story about a dinosaur going to school for the first time, which is the book Cailey bought for our class.  We then made a dinosaur to take home.  We also listened to a story about falling leaves and squirrels.  Please do not forget to send back your pumpkin homework!  Have a great weekend!

The four year old class had a good day, we reviewed the letter H and letter H words.  We also heard some nursery rhymes to listen and practice rhyming words.  We completed our leaf pictures with the leaves that we collected at the park.  Each child was encouraged to use their imagination to turn their leaf into another object, like a fish, a person, or a house.  We also learned the math term half, and used that to put "Humpty Dumpty" back together again.  The class also practiced the number two.

On Friday, October 23rd, both four year old classes will be attending a field trip to Sweet Apple Farm in Vincent, Ohio.  Parents are invited to attend, and I believe the cost will be five dollars for each the child and the parent.  We will be meeting at school at 9:15 to head to the farm, and will stay at the farm till about 1 pm.  Each child (and parent if attending) will need to bring a sack lunch.  The child who is the snack helper that day is encouraged to bring a small snack (individually wrapped items) and a drink just for their class.  We do get pretty tired and hungry while we are there!

Today, the three year old class worked with the letter D.  We heard a story about a detective dog who searched for missing doughnuts.  We also began a doll picture for our ABC books that we are making.  With Miss Pam today, we completed some beautiful fall pictures, that showed red, yellow and orange leaves.  Our first field trip was just scheduled today.  We will be going to Sweet Apple Farm in Vincent, Ohio on October 22nd.  We will meet at school at 9:15, and head to the farm.  We will stay at the farm until about 1, and will eat lunch there.  Cost will be $5.00, and parents are invited to attend.  I will be sending home permission slips soon.  Have a great evening. 

I hope that you all are enjoying the fall weather as much as we have been at school.  We have our collected leaves that we are going to turn into pictures, and we also used our fingerprints to make a fall leave picture for home.  We continue to discuss the changing weather, and the colors that we are looking for.  We also began to work with the letter H today.  We listened for it in stories, and practiced writing it.  We also used hula hoops in the gym today to help reinforce the sound.  Please have your child practice letter h (and all the letters we have learned so far) sounds and words at home, as well as writing them.  Have a great evening!

Both four year old classes had a great day!  We are so glad that the rain held off for our walking trip to the park.  While at the park, we looked at the leaves changing colors, watched some leaves fall, collected leaves, and even got to see some squirrels playing.  The leaves we collected today will be used for leave pictures next week!  We also continued to work with the letter g and practiced the sounds of all three letters that we have learned.  Next week, we will be working with the letter H.  Have a great weekend!

The three year old class had a "different" day today.  I cannot wait for the construction to be finished here at school, so we have our gym to play in.  We did however, play in a big room downstairs to help get our energy out.  We continued to practice the letter C and made letter C caterpillars and learned that God made us all special.  We also colored fall leaves to hang in our classroom, so we could see fall.  Have a great weekend!

Today was a good day for our four year old classes.  We continued to work with the letter G, and listened to a story about some goats.  We also got to make a gorilla mask with Miss Pam.  We practiced our rhyming words, and put letter sounds together to "read" our first word.  That word is log.  We will continue to practice with it.  We also practiced the words more, less and equal and wrote the number one.  Please do not forget that Friday is our trip to the park.  Make sure that your child is in tennis shoes.  Have a great evening!

It was an a very interesting day today for the three year old class.  The construction used our gym, so we stayed upstairs and watched a movie about a Hermie the Caterpillar.  We learned that God makes us special, and sometimes we have to wait to see what he is going to do with us!  We also started learning the letter C and made curly hair clown pictures for our ABC book.  We are still working on our fine motor skills and tracing lines!  Have a great evening!

The four year old classes had a good day.  We talked about the Fall weather, and learned what happens to leaves, and then we colored some fall leaves to hang in our classroom.  We also learned the letter G, after reviewing the letters L and O.  We also practiced rhyming words and discussed compound words.  We are learning so much!

 

The afternoon class had their first fire drill of the year!  The class did a wonderful job following directions, and waiting outside till it was time to head back in. 

The four year old classes had another great day.  We continued to learn about the letter O and reviewed the letter L.  We completed Letter O octupuses with Miss Pam, that even has letter O words attached to it.  We practiced saying our ABC's and counting to twenty.  We also practiced our math words, of more, less and equal.  The class also learned the names of the seasons as well as what happens during them.  We also counted words in sentences again today.  Thanks for all your homework, our next homework picture is for the letter G.  Have a great weekend!

 

The three year old class had a very busy day today!  We continued to work with the letter B, and made boat pictures for our ABC book.  We also practiced tracing circles and coloring some more!  We also learned about sharing from our friend the "Min-o-saur" and decided its better to share our things and have friends than to play by ourselves.  Have a great weekend!

The four's had a very busy day today.  We reviewed our letter L and continued working with our letter O.  We counted the letters in the alphabet to know that there are twenty-six letters and practiced that the letter O is a vowel.  We also listened for rhyming words, where we had to stand up and sit down.  We made letter O necklaces, and learned the the number zero is made like the letter O.  We have also been talking about the math terms, more, less, and equal. 

We are considering having each class fill a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child.  Miss Pam and I feel like this would be a good opportunity to teach the class about giving and compassion.  Let us know you thoughts on this idea. 

Have a great evening!

 

The three year old class had a very busy day today!  We started working with the letter B and bubbles.  We want to say "Thank you" to Carter for sending in bubbles for the whole class!  We also did a bubble painting with Miss Pam.  We listened for the letter B in our story "Bubble Bear" and we learned that we can find bubbles everywhere.  We also found circles to play with today.  We are going to be looking more at circles at school on Thursday!   The class is still practicing holding crayons in the correct way, so we completed more tracing today.  Miss Pam and I have a thought we would like to ask, to help teach the students about caring and compassion, we thought it might be a good idea to have the class complete two shoeboxes for Operation Christmas child.  We would do a box for the boys and a box for the girls.  Let us know what you think!  Have a great evening!

The four year old classes had a great day.  We review our letter L and letter L words and began learning the letter O.  We have counted the letters in the alphabet, and know there are twenty-six of them  We also are beginning to learn the difference between consonants and vowels as well as listening for rhyming words.  We practiced writing the letter O, as well a stamped letter O (circles).  Our fingerpainting were turned into apples, which each student practiced cutting out themselves.  Thank you for all the homework, have a great evening!

Finger painting was a great success!  I really don't know how it happens, but no child home with paint on them, only Miss Jaime did!  We did finger paint our papers, which will be turned into apples.  The class will cut out their own apples next week!  We also continued to work with the letter L.  We listened to another letter L story with our lambs. Also, our lamb pictures are being sent home today.  Thank you for sending in all the letter L homework!  The classes love seeing all the letter L pictures on the wall!  Have a great weekend!

What a busy day the three year old class had.  We continued to learn about the letter A and heard another letter A story.  This story was about a big, red apple that lost its seeds to grow into an apple tree.  We then stamped the inside of apples, so we could see the seeds.  Miss Pam had us fingerpaint with the color red, and we also colored a red picture.  MOPS met in our gym today, so we played cars and hoops in another room today, which was a lot of fun!  Next week, we are going to work with the letter B and do things with bubbles, boats and the color blue.  Have a great weekend!

Wow, what a good day for both four year old classes.  We are still working on following rules, walking in lines, and taking turns.  Today, we also learned how to be an echo, how to tell if things are the same or different, and began to practice the letter L.  We listened for the letter L, made a list of letter L names, heard a story about a laughing lamb, and practiced writing the letter L.  Most of our writing was done hand over hand, but we are learning how to hold our pencil and follow the "road" for writing.  In the gym today, we played London Bridge.

The three year old class had a very busy day today!  We are working very hard on learning our class rules and routines.  We practice walking in a line, sitting criss-cross applesauce, and taking turns.  We have also began to talk about making good choices while we are at school!  Today, we worked with the letter A.   We saw pictures of the letter A, and heard a letter A story.  We found all of our friends with letter A names, and we used special paper to cover an apple.  We also practiced holding crayons and tracing lines.  This will help us to learn how to hold pencils and to write our letters.  Please do not forget that on Thursday, we will be fingerpainting.  We have paint smocks, but we just wanted you to be aware!  See you soon!

We had a good day at school!  Today we celebrated ourselves and how God makes us all different, but still special.  We talked about how it is ok to be different, and then drew pictures of ourselves for our hallway.  We also colored birthday cakes that we will use to decorate our classroom.  With Miss Jaime, we wrote and drew what our favorite things about school have been so far.

Please do not forget, we are going to start learning the letter L next week, and each student needs a picture of a letter L word. 

Have a great weekend!

Our three year old class had another good day.  We are learning all or school rules, how to share, how to wait our turn, and how to walk in line.  We enjoy the new friends we are making, and especially love play time and gym time.  Today, we listened to a story the celebrated all of our differences, and learned that even if we are different, God made us special.  We also created pictures of our faces and birthday cakes to celebrate ourselves.  Next week, we will work with the letter A and apples!

Both four year old classes had great first days.  We worked really hard on being good listeners, and following directions.  We had to search our school to find the gingerbread man, and we found him everywhere.  We also played in the gym with the parachute and toys.  Miss Jaime had us decorate gingerbread men to take home, and Miss Pam helped us decorate our name in glitter for the hallway.  We also completed an interview, so we can learn all about each other.  Miss Jaime did not give us homework tonight, even though some of us wanted some.  Have a great evening!!

What a great first day the three year old class had today.  We all arrived on time, and were all great listeners.  When we arrived to our hallway, Miss Jaime and Miss Pam showed us where our jackets and backpacks went, and then we went into our classroom to start our jobs.  First, we had to put up an apple that tells who all is at school, then we had to sing and dance while following directions.  After that, we checked the weather, and learned about our calendar.  Then, Miss Pam took us downstairs where we played with the parachute!  After gym time, we got drinks, listened to a story, and had to find gingerbread.  Then, we had to do work, we colored a gingerbread man, made a glitter name, and got interviewed.  Finally, it was time for snack, were we ate gingerbread men cookies.  Before leaving to go home, we played with some of our toys and listened to another story about the first day of school.  What a wonderful day!  I know Miss Pam and I cannot wait until Thursday!

School will be starting before we know it.  I know the church office has sent out letters, but I also wanted to remind you that Orientation will be Monday, August 17th, 7 p.m. in the multi-purpose room.  Please bring all completed paperwork and we will have a notary here for you use.  I will be discussing our upcoming school year, as well as recruiting parents for parties and such.  I will also go over the list of supplies your child needs. 

 

If you did not receive your last year picture CD's, it is due to the fact that some of the CD's were not containing pictures. I have fixed this problem, I believe and will get them to you as soon as I can.

 

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer break!  Picture CD's that were not picked up are being mailed this week, so make sure that you are looking for them!  Remember that registration is still active for next fall, so if you are interested, please give the office a call, and if any questions, you still may call me!

Sorry that this is a little late in getting posted, but we had such a busy Friday!  Thank you to the parents of both classes for the wonderful picnics we had at the park.  The food and the help supervising play time was wonderful.  Miss Pam and I also want to say thank you for choosing to send your child to us at Small Wonders.  We have enjoyed every minute with the classes, and I feel like I have learned as much as they children have.  If you need any information for next school year, or anything from this year, please do not hesitate to contact us here at school, on the website, or on my phone.  Again, thank you all for a wonderful school year!

Thank you all so much for our wonderful picnic at the park.  We were able to play parachute, bubbles, a jump house, and enjoy the playground.  Thanks to all the parents who provided food and helped chaperone.  We also need to say thank you for our wonderful school year!

The four year old classes had such a busy day!  We completed our end of the year books as well as completed an ABC review.  We also practiced our graduation program twice.  The program practice was a lot of fun, and then the two classes were allowed to play together in the gym.  Please do not forget that graduation is Thursday, and we need to be here at 6:30 p.m.  Our picnics are then on Friday!

I will try not to be sad, but today was our last "normal" school day with our three year old class.  The most exciting thing going on was the tearing down of a wall, we could have watched that all morning.  We did however complete and ABC review as well as listened to a story about how we can help save our Earth.  We also were able to play Parachute in the gym.

Both four year old classes learned the TH blend today as well as wrote our numbers 1-10.  We heard a story about a little boy named Thad, who made some bad choices, but it also made it us laugh.  We worked in our end of the year books as well.  Please do not forget to send back permssions slips for the park.

We must have been so busy here at school, that I forgot to write an entry for Thursday.  On Thursday, the three year old class completed their end of the year books, as well as did review of our letters and numbers.  We did not get to play in the gym, but that's ok, we played fun games in our room, and got to choose our own center.

Both classes had a wonderful time at Stephens Outdoor Railways.  I am not sure what our favorite part of the trip was, either the climbing toy or ringing the train bell.  We did enjoy watching all the trains and learning about them.  We also thought feeding the fish was pretty fun.  Before we went on our trip, we did some graduation practice as well as worked with the letter Q.  Have a great weekend!

We had a great time on our Field trip, despite the weather!  It started out raining, but it did quit by the time we got to the trains.  I do not know what was our favorite part, the outside trains, or ringing the bell inside.  Thank you so much for taking the time to go with us.

We had another good day.  We continued to learn about the letter Q and heard the story of Queen Esther.  We also completed a Daddies Day craft with Miss Pam where she had to paint our feet.  Some of us thought that was really silly and it tickled.  We also completed a letter Q paper. 

Don't forget that Friday is our field trip and we still need Thank you notes for Miss Sharon.

Thank you to both classes for wonderful Easter parties.  I know that the classes had as much fun as Miss Pam and I did.  The crafts and games (and Easter Egg hunts) were great.  Before our parties, we heard the true story of Easter (as told by Peter) as well as watched a Veggie Tales movie about Easter.  The classes also made a good news megaphone to tell about Jesus being alive!  Remember that there is no school on Friday, April 10th, and we do not return to school until April 20th.  We will begin working on the letter J.  Have a great Easter break!

The three year old class worked on the shape square today, as well as the letter T.  We completed letter T turtles with Miss Pam.  Those of us who have sent in our shoe boxes, got to help Miss Sharon cover the box to start turning them into our Easter Basket.  We did not get to play in our gym today, due to activities at the church, so we sang extra songs (our color songs) and played games in our classroom.

Construction has begun, please be aware that we may have to be using the single door as our entrance for a while.  I will try to keep signs posted on the doors.  Both four year old classes continued working with the letter Y and listened for letter Y words.  We also heard a fable about paying attention so we can accomplish our goals.  The classes also worked on counting objects.

 

Please do not forget your child's shoebox.  We will have some extras, but the sooner they get brought in, the more work you child will be able to do with them.

The 3 year old class had an amazing day!  We learned the letter T after reviewing our letters A-S.  We heard a story about a turtle who began a table and a spring story.  We practiced counting to ten, while glueing our Teddy Grahams to the letter T.  (You will only see 9 on there, because we had to eat one.)  We also learned about St. Patrick's Day and colored green.

Thank you to all who have sent in a shoebox, and if you haven't sent in your box yet, you still have time.

Both four year old classes had a great day at school.  We learned the the letter Y and heard a story about a yak who yelled yuk.  While listening to this story, we learned that we should try new foods before saying yuk, because we might like them.  We also practiced writing the letter Y and completed a letter Y sounds page on a yellowjacket with Miss Pam. 

Please start sending in your shoeboxes as soon as possible, so we may begin our special Easter craft.

What a busy day we had today!  Both four year old classes continued to work with the letter E.  We listened to letter E stories, as well as listened to the letter E sound in words.  We also practiced counting words in sentences.  We finished our leprechauns and heard a story about a sneaky leprechaun.  Do not forget that we will begin the letter Y on Monday, and we will need letter Y words.  Also, we still need some rainbows and every child will need a shoebox for our special Easter craft.

The three year olds had a busy day today.  MOPS met in our gym, so we played color games and "The Farmer in the Dell" in our classroom.  We continued to work with the letter S and we made letter S snakes to take home.  We also finished our dancing leprechauns.  Don't forget to send in rainbows and shoeboxes.

Both four year old classes continued to work with the letter E.  We completed a letter E elephant where we had to write letter E words to complete the trunk.  We also practiced our sentence punctuation and learned what quotation marks do in a sentence.  The classes are also learning about St. Patrick's Day, so they began a Leprechaun craft. 

We are going to need shoeboxes for a special Easter craft.  Each child will need one, and you can start sending them in at any time.

I am so glad everyone was feeling better and back to school today.  We reviewed our letters A-R and began learning letter S.  We listened to letter S stories and songs and decorated a letter S with a sticker.  We also completed our Rainbow hats to hang in our classroom and began our leprechauns.  Please do not forget to send in your child's rainbow for our wall, and please put their name on the paper somewhere!

Both four year old classes began learning the Letter E today.  Please do not forget to send in your letter E pictures for our alphabet books.  We also worked on counting objects and writing the correct number of those items.  Rainbows still need to be sent in!

It was interesting day at school today!  The church is hosting a youth event this weekend, so we had no gym, but the classes enjoyed watching the movie Happy Feet.  Due to our "working," we did not finish the movie.  The classes continued to work with the letter C in stories and words.  We also listened for vowels as the middle sound of the word.  We completed leprechaun hats and our bulletin board.  Please do not forget your letter C words for this past week, letter E words for next week and rainbows!

We were down in numbers today, but we still worked hard.  I hope everyone gets to feeling better.  We continued to work with the letter R today as well as the color red.  We learned the color red song with Miss Pam today.  We also decorated some gold coins for our downstairs display.  Have a great weekend!

We had such a busy day today!

4 year old a.m.

We had such a good time eating lunch together at school before our field trip.  Before we left, however, we continued to practice the letter C in stories and in words.  We found vowels in words as well as made gold coins and shamrocks! 

 

4 year old p.m.

After the field trip, the four year old p.m. class continued to practice the letter C in stories and words.  We completed our gold coins with Miss Pam and shamrocks.  For snack, we enjoyed the cookies we decorated at Giant Eagle.  We are looking to plan a time when the p.m. class can arrived to school early and eat lunch together.

 

Thanks for all the drivers and help today at the field trip!  We had a great time!

The three year old class worked with the letter R today after reviewing all of our letters.  We listened to a letter R story and found words that began with the letter R.  We glued raisins to the letter, as well as ate some.  We have also began to talk about St. Patrick's Day, so we colored some shamrocks with Miss Pam.

Both four year old classes had a great day.  We practiced the letter C as well as putting things in ABC order.  We reviewed all of our letter sounds and practiced writing them on our board.  Spring is starting, so we predicted March weather.  We made lion and lamb pictures for our prediction chart.  Don't forget letter C homework and our rainbows!

I don't think I can say enough of what a great day both classes had today.  We worked so hard and were all great listeners.  We continued to review our letters and talk about the importance of letters making words and words making sentences.  We also practiced our patterns and learned about healthy food choices.  We also got to use the "big" cars in the gym today.

 

Thank you for your understanding with the change of field trip dates.  Remember that we are now going on Wednesday, March 4th. 

The three year old class had a long, but good day.  We really enjoyed eating lunch together in our classroom and learning about healthy food choices.  Before we left for our field trip to Giant Eagle, we worked with the letter Q and painted with Q tips.  We also learned about healthy food choices and talked about what happens when we eat too much sugar.

 

Thanks for all of the parents and grandparents that attended our trip with us.  I hope that everyone had a wonderful time and learned lots too!

Reminder:  Our field trip to Giant Eagle has been changed to Wednesday, March 4th.  Please check your child's backpack for more information.

 

Both four year old classes had a very busy day today.  We reviewed our letters, focusing on our vowels.  We also practiced putting letters together to form words, and words together to form sentences.  The classes also noticed that each sentence starts with a uppercase letter and ends with a mark (we have talked about periods, exclamation points, and question marks.)  We also practiced patterns and writing our names.

The three year old class had a really great day!  We reviewed our letters A-P and learned the letter Q.  We talked about letter Q words like quiet, quick, quail and queen.  We also made a picture of a queen.  With Miss Pam today, we redid our names in Spring colors for our hallway display.  Thursday you will receive your next homework project to complete.  We are making rainbows for the hallway.  Have a great evening!

Both four year old classes worked really hard today.  We didn't get to finish coloring our patterns, as we had to write our numbers 6-10 too.  We will finish our patterns next week.  We continued working with the letter Z by finding words that started with letter z and hearing a story about the first zoo.  Please do not forget parent teacher conferences on Monday and Tuesday as well as our field trip on Friday!  Have a great weekend!

The three year old class had another good day.  Due to church activities, we were unable to use the gym, so we learned new singing games.  We played "The Farmer in the Dell" and "London Bridge."  We also heard another pirate story and made a parrot puppet so we could be pirates.  We also colored pink pigs for the letter P.

Both four year old classes had another great day, despite the weather outside.  We continued to work with the letter Z and practiced our listening skills by hearing the story of Zoe, the Zany Zebra.  We also reviewed commas, periods, and exclamation points.  The classes also learned a new song, so far we know blue, white and purple.  We also practiced writing our numbers one to five.  If you have not sent in your permission slip,please do so soon!

The three year old class was so excited to take home the letter O octopuses today, I hope that you enjoy them as well.  Today we worked with the letter P and the colors pink and purple.  We decorated a pink letter P with popcorn (which we also ate) and we colored a purple picture.  The class also came a up with a list of our favorite letter p words, which included pizza and princesses.  In your child's folder today is your confirmation of conference times.  Please look over your time and make sure it works for you, if it doesn't, please give me a call so we can reschedule.

Both four year old classes worked with the letter Z today.  We practiced the letter Z sound and listened to stories with the letter Z.  Our favorite was about the animal strike at the Z.  We wrote the letter Z and made zebras as well.  We also reviewed the letter U.

Both four year old classes had a great day.  Thank you so much for all the work that went into our Valentine's Parties.  The students and I both enjoyed them.  Before we had our party, we make Valentine's for our families and worked with the letter U.  We had to reread our story about alien and underpants because we think it is so funny.  Have a great weekend!

The three year old class had a very busy day today.   We worked on the letter O and made really cute octopuses.  We couldn't send them home today, because our letter O decorations had to dry.  We also reviewed our letters A-N, and worked on counting to ten.  The gym was occupied today, so we played circle games in our classroom.

Both four year old classes had a great day!  We are still working with the letter U, so today we heard a story about aliens and underpants,  The story was very funny, and it was a rhyming book too!  We also learned about Jesus' love for us and looked for hearts in pictures.  Do not forget that our Valentines Party is on Friday, so send in those mailboxes and cards.

The three year old class had a wonderful Valentine's Party.  Thank you to all the parents and volunteers that helped with the party!  Before our party, the class reviewed our letters A-N and our colors.  We also played a special Valentine game where we had to pass the hearts.  Thank for getting all permission slips turned in, and if you have not sent in your parent teacher conference form, please do so.

What a busy day the four year old classes had today.  We are learning the letter U as well as celebrating Valentine's Day this week.  Please do not forget to send in your child's Valentine box. Each student was able to decorate an umbrella as well as write the letter U today.  We also made a list of all the letter U words we could think of.  Also, we sang our color songs and played I SPY with colors today!  Permission slips and Parent Teacher Conference forms are also due! 

Both four year olds classes had a great day today!  We worked really hard on the letter B and reviewing our numbers 1-10.  We also learned about President's day and why we celebrate. Please do not forget that you child needs to make a Valentine's mailbox to bring to school next week and we need parent teacher conference forms and permission slips turned back in. 

The three year old class was very busy today.  While learning the letter N, we heard the story of Noah, so we made an ark with Miss Pam today.  We also completed a heart for our bulletin board downstairs.  Each child also worked individually with Miss Jaime today on colors.  Please do not forget that our Valentine's Party is Tuesday, February 10th and to sign and return permission slips for Giant Eagle.

Both four year old classes had an exciting day.  While learning about the letter B, we got to play with bubbles today.  We read three stories about bubbles and even painted with bubbles.  Ask your son or daughter to tell you all about it!  We also began discussing Jesus' love for us and completed some Valentine hearts!

The three year old class had a great day.  In fact, it was so good, you could not even tell that we had missed a whole week of school.  Today we worked with the letter N and newspapers as well as reviewed the numbers 1-10 by completing a dot to dot.  We also have been working really hard on recognizing our uppercase alphabet, so we practiced doing that with flashcards.

It has been such a long time since we have been at school, it was almost like coming back from Christmas break.  Both 4 year old classes had good days, even though we did have to practice some of our school rules.  We worked with the letter K by finishing our Kangaroos and began working with the letter B.  We also learned about groundhogs and hibernation today.  Just a reminder, the last three letters that we need pictures for are R, K, and B.  If you are not sure what letter your child needs, let me know and I can remind you. 

Today was a very busy day for both four year old classes.  We worked on the letter r and k and completed some letter pages.  We also worked on a rainbow and a kangaroo.  We practiced the number 10 as well as reviewed all of our letters.  Have a great weekend!

I am so glad that we were at school today.  The class made letter L lollipops and completed their snowman snow measuring stick.  We also worked with the number 9.  The class also enjoyed a story about a Hedgehog who wears a winter hat, and get all the other farm animals to wear hats as well.

No school for the morning class!

The afternoon class worked with the number 10, the letter R, and completed a snowman snow measuring stick.  We need this to measure all the snow that we have been having lately!  Please do not forget to send in your letter R picture and your snowman picture for our wall.

Today the three year old class began working on the letter K, the number 8 (from last week) and we also painted white.  We are using paint sticks to make a snowman snow measuring stick, so we can measure all this snow we have been getting.  Please do not forget to send in your child's snowman homework.

Today we started learning the letter R and the color white.  Miss Pam taught us a great song about the color white.  We are still discussing the right clothes to wear in the winter.  Don't forget your letter R homework.

Today was such a fun day for us, by continuing our winter wear unit, we heard the story about Minerva Louise.  She is a chicken in search of the perfect hat, so we illustrated our own book about the perfect hat.  We learned that buckets, fruit baskets, and cats are not perfect hats.  We also worked with the number 9.  Next week we will work with  the number 10 and the letter R.  Don't forget your snowman and letter homework.

Snow Day  for our three year old class, hope to see you on Tuesday.

We continued our Winter Wear unit by hearing stories about clothes that we wear in the winter.  We even used our weather bear to illustrate the perfect clothes.  We also continued to learn the letter F and used "Rainbow Fish" to practice the letter and sharing.

Welcome back!  I hope all you had a wonderful Christmas break.  We began our week back by reviewing the letters we have learned (A-J) and learning the number 7.  We also began a unit on clothes that we wear in the winter by learning about mittens.

Welcome back from Christmas break.  We had a wonderful first day back.  We are learning all about Winter and the clothes that we have to wear in the cold.  We started our "Winter Wear" unit by learning about mittens!  We also started learning about the letter F.  Our January homework is the snowman, don't forget to turn it back in.

Thank you so much for the wonderful party.  I know all the children had a great time.  I hope that you enjoyed our little program.  The class had practiced so hard for!  I wish you all a wonderful and blessed Christmas and New Years, and I will see all of you on January 6th!

I want to say Thank  you so much for the wonderful party and crafts for our class.  I know that the children had fun (especially the dressing up of Miss Pam and myself).  I hope that you enjoyed our program.  The class practiced so hard to sound beautiful for their families.  I am wishing you a wonderful and blessed Christmas and New Years, and we will see you all January 5th.

First of all, I would like to say thank you for all the hard work that went into the party.  I am so sorry that we had a two hour delay, and our party was shortened.  Thank you all so much for being understanding, and still getting your child here for the party.  The students worked so hard on learning their poem and songs, and we just wanted to share them with you.  I also want to say thank you for my book.  I will cherish it always, it made me laugh and cry.  It is so true what everyone says, they grow up so fast! I am so glad that I know have a book (and pictures) to remember them by.  It made me laugh and cry, and I will truly cherish it always.  I want to wish all of you a wonderful and blessed Christmas and New Year, and we will see you on January 5th!

Wow, what a busy day.  The classes completed gift bags for mom and dad, as well as wrapped gifts for their families.  We continued to practice our Christmas songs and poems for our party on Monday!  With the letter S, we had to find it on our work papers, as well as figure out what letter came at the begining of words.  Reindeer crafts were also completed.  We would like to thank Libby and her mom for the very special video " The First Noel" that we watched.  It helped us remember the true meaning of Christmas and gave us some rhyming words too!

Yay, the three year olds had class today.  We had a lot of things to finish for next week.  We practiced our Christmas songs, as well as decorated gift bags for our Moms and Dads.  We learned the number 7 and the letter J ( we used a candy cane upside down, and said J for Jesus).  We also completed some Christmas crafts just for you!

Both four year old classes continued to work with the letter S.  We are still listening for it in stories, as well as finding it in words.  We are practicing hearing the letter sounds at the end of words.  We are also continueing our Christmas unit, and practicing our Christmas songs.

There was no three year old class today due to Snow!  We will see you all on Thursday.

Both four year old classes began working with the letter S today.  We found it so funny that when we write the letter S it reminds us of a snake and it sounds like one too.  We continued our work with patterns by completing a pattern jingle bell necklace and we also reviewed the true story of Christmas.  The am class did get to work on their special Christmas craft, and both classes are still practicing some songs and a poem for our Christmas party.

The morning class was cancelled today, due to bad weather.  They will have to try and "catch up" on Monday.  The afternoon class completed the ornaments we began on Wednesday, completed a special Christmas craft with Miss Pam, and continued to work with the letter I. 

We had a really hectic day at school today.  Miss Jaime worked with the letter I  and our ice cream cones, will Miss Sharon volunteered and completed the ornaments we began on Thursday.  With Miss Pam, we worked on a special surprise gift for our moms and dads!

Our field trip to Coldstone Creamery was so much fun.  Not only did we get to practice with the letter I, we got to eat ice cream too!  We did complete some work before we left school, however.  We began an ornament with Miss Pam and practiced our poems and songs with Miss Jaime.

The three year old class had a wonderful time at Coldstone Creamery today.  We arrived to school at regular time, completed our morning work, and a Christmas ornament with Miss Pam before learning about the letter I.  And with the letter I comes ice cream.  At our tour, each student got to choose a flavor of ice cream and mix in a topping of their choice.  We also saw how ice cream was made at the store!

The four year old classes continued to work on patterns by completing a candy cane beaded ornament.  We also began to learn the letter I.  We heard a letter I story, saw letter  I items, and practiced writing the letter I. 

The four year old classes worked on sharing today.  We discussed in story and in talk how important it is to share our toys and other school items.  We completed the number 8 and also heard the story about Jesus being put in a manger and colored a picture to go along with it.  Have a great weekend, and do not forget our field trip on Wednesday.

Today, the three year old class worked with the number 6 and completed ornaments for our downstairs board.  We also practiced the letters G and H and talked about the true meaning of Christmas.  Do not forget that our field trip to Coldstone Creamery is on Tuesday!

The four year old classes continued to review the letters A,N and M as well as reviewed the legend of the Candy Cane and what each color means.  We have began to discuss the true meaning of Christmas with the children telling the story of Jesus' birth.  We also worked more on patterns and completed ornaments for our downstairs board.

Today the three year olds reviewed the letters G and H, as well as worked on writing and recognizing our own first names.  Their names were also redone in glitter for our hallways display.

This week we are reviewing the letters A,N, and M as well as beginning our unit on Christmas.  We have redone our names for the hallway, using Christmas colors and gold glitter, as well as using our hands to create a Christmas tree for our board downstairs.  We also learned the legend of the candy cane, and worked on the pattern of colors for the candy cane.

Wow, what a busy day, and what a lot of stuff in your child's folder today.  Family pictures and frames and family turkeys were all sent home today.  We also practiced more with our letter M as well as began working on Christmas ideas.  Today each child created a paper chain that incoporates patterns and counting to help us count down the days until Christmas.  Those chains will be sent home Monday, December 1st. We hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

We had such a busy day today to make up for our snow day.  The three year old class worked with the letter H and made letter H hearts.  We also practiced the number 5 and made turkeys with Miss Pam.  Along with all of this, we also had time to discuss Thanksgiving and all of the things that we are thankful for.  We hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Today, both four year old classes completed a Thankful picture frame and a family picture for the frame.  We have been discussing in detail reasons we should be thankful for our families, even our brothers and sisters.  We also practiced writing the letter M and hearing it's sounds in words.

Today was our first Snow Day of the year.  Remember on Tuesdays and Thursdays, if Wood County Schools is on a two hour delay, our classes is cancelled.

We have such a busy week ahead.  Today both four year old classes began working with the letter M as well as learning about Thanksgiving traditions.  We also have been discussing things in our life that we are Thankful for.

Miss Jaime was absent from school today, but Miss Pam reported that both four year old classes were excellent.  Miss Nicole came and spent the day with us, and we learned more about the letter N, worked on turkeys, and heard the story about  Noah's Arc.

Our three year old class attended the Teddy Bear Clinic at St. Joseph's Hospital today.  I am sure that we all had a good time and learned a lot too.

The four year old classes worked really hard today.  We continued to listen and find letter N's as well as hear them in stories.  We do need to practice writing N some more, some of us struggled with it.  With Miss Pam we made letter N nests.  Please do not forget to send in your letter N words and turkeys!

Both four year old classes had a great day.  We started learning the letter n.  We talked a lot about the letter N words, naughty and nibble.  We began practicing the number 7 and started talking about Thanksgiving.  With Miss Pam today, we made feathers for a turkey that say some things that we are thankful for.  Check out our turkey on our downstairs bulletin board.  And speaking about turkeys, don't forget to send in your family art project turkey.

Another note, I will not be at school on Friday.  Miss Pam will be taking my place, and there will be a sub here for her.  I will be in Charleston coaching in the state volleyball tournament.  I have told the classes that I will not be here, but wanted you to be aware of this also.

The four year olds had a great Friday.  We continued to work with the letter a and its sounds, as well as compound words.  We completed letter A apple activities as well as writing the letter a.  Pictures from our trip are now up on our website.  Have a great weekend! 

It's been a while since the three year old class had a normal day, and we struggled a bit to get back in our routine.  Today we practiced the number 5 and the letter G.  We made goats out of toliet paper rolls with Miss Pam after hearing "The Three Billy Goats Gruff."  Remember that there is no school on Tuesday, due to Veteran's Day and Thursday we will be taking our field trip to the Teddy Bear Clinic at St. Joseph's Hospital.  Do not forget to put your child in their new t-shirt!

I want to thank all the parents that drove and helped with our field trip today.  I believe that everyone had a great time, and without you, it would not have been possible.  I know that it took a while to get all 25 students through the clinic, so I thank you for your patience as well.  I hope that everyone learned from out time at the Teddy Bear Clinic as well.

Both four year old classes learned about the letter a today.  We talked about how the letter a is a vowel and makes two sounds.  We heard a letter a story and found words in our letter tubs that started with the letter a.  We began work on a letter a apple, that we will finish on Friday.  We also worked with the number 6 today.

 

Do not forget that our field trip to the Teddy Bear Clinic is Wednesday, November 5th.  We will be meeting at school at 10:15 and then heading St. Joseph's Hospital at 10:30.  The children need to wear there new t-shirts.

Thanks so much for the great Halloween Parties.  Each class party was uniquely different, but wonderful all the same.  I am sure the students enjoyed them as much as Miss Pam and I.  Before we went down to our party, the class listened to Halloween stories and played a Halloween Candy game that worked with our counting skills and sharing. 

 

If you are able, please send in toliet paper rolls for an art project.

 

Do not forget our field trip to the Teddy Bear Clinic on November 5th.

The three year old class had a great Halloween Party.  Thanks to everyone who donated things and organized events.  I know you all worked very hard.  Before we went down to our party, we played a Halloween Candy game that was working on counting and sharing with our friends.

 

Can you please send in toliet paper rolls for an art project?

The four year old classes reviewed the letters T and P and well as learned about Halloween.  We used the pumpkin seeds that we cleaned out of our pumpkins to play a counting game.   We also tried eating the pumpkin seeds.  Some of us liked them, but most of them didn't.  For our art project, we painted black spiders.

The three year old class had a great day.  We played a counting game with pumpkin seeds as well as painted spiders for Halloween.  We also talked a lot about Halloween and our costumes while we reviewed the letters D, E, and F.

Friday was a good day for both four year old classes.  Testing was completed for Parent/Teacher Conferences on Monday.  We also learned more about Pumpkins to go with our letter P learning.  We actually got to put our hands (if we chose to) in pumpkins to help clean the seeds out.  We are going to do more with pumpkin seeds next week.  We also worked with the number 6 and recognizing the letter P in print.

The three year old class had a great day!  We practiced more with the letter F by hearing another letter F story and decorating a letter F with feathers.  We also went on a "Spooky Walk" and made black Halloween bats!

The four year old classed continued to work with the letter P.  We practiced hearing letter P words as well as writing the letter P and making a Pig mask.  Our key word for P is pig.  We are starting to learn about Halloween by completing crafts and learning songs.  We also learned how Peanut Butter was made.

The three year old class had a very good day.  We worked with the letter F and learned how Jesus used five loaves and two fish to feed a crowd.  We also heard about Rainbow Fish, and how he learned to share and be a friend.  The children created their very own rainbow fish and well as practiced the number 4.

Both four year old classes had a good day.  We began working with the letter P today.  We finished our fingerpaint pumpkins, as well as worked with shapes and patterns.  Do not forget to send in your letter P picture. 

Both four year old classes had a great day!  We talked more about the letter T and heard stories about turtles.  We also completed a turtle craft that will go home on  Monday.  We have to let our glue dry!  We worked with a  letter T page as well as listened for Rhyming Words.  Look for your parent/teacher conference time in your child's folder.

The three year old class had a special treat today.  Due to the multi-purpose (gym) room being in use, instead of gym we were allowed to watch a movie.  The movie was about Boz the bear, and the colors and numbers in God's world.  We also practiced the number 3 and finished our pumpkin art.   

Both four year old classes had a great day.  We almost have all of our family pumpkins back, so our hallway looks great!  Today we got to use fingerpaint for the first time today.  We used orange fingerpaint and we will turn that creation into a jack-o-lantern.  We also practice writing the letter T today as well as listened for compound words.

The three year old class had a great day.  We got to enjoy gym time, plus playing a new game all about pumpkins.  We began learning the letter E and made letter E elephants after hearing a story about Elvin the Elephant and His Enormous Show.  We also painted a pumpkin with Miss Pam.

Both four year old classes had a great day.  We we began working with the letter T and listened to a story about Tilly Turtle.  We also practiced our rhyming words some more.  The leaves that we collected on Friday were turned into works of art by the children.  They turned the leaves into fish, people, houses, and whatever else their imagination came up with.  The leaf art will not go home until Wednesday!   

Both four year old classes had a great day.  When we arrived at school today, we completed all of our circle activities before going to the park.  While at the park, we completed our nature walk and collected leaves for an art project.  We also took some time to play at the park.  The p.m. class then went and enjoyed the Williamstown High School Parade.  The children for both activities were just wonderful.  We continued to review the letters l,o,g and h.  Next week we will begin learning the letter T.

Today the three year old class worked more with the letter D.  We dotted (with Bingo markers) the letter D and listened to a story about a Duck.  We also completed Fall leaves for our classroom.  We also completed a class scarecrow.  The class played outside today as well, as our gym was used by MOPS.

Our nature walk to the park had to be postponed due to the weather.  So, now we will walk to the park on Friday.  Each class will arrive to school, complete our morning routine before walking to the park.  At the park, we will be discussing fall and collecting leaves.  We will also take some time to explore the playground.  At school today, we completed a class scarecrow and our Fall trees.  We worked with the numbers three and four, as well as reviewed the letters l,o,g and h. 

We had such a good day today!  The three year old class started learning about the letter D and we made dinosaurs to go with it.  We also talked about Fall and completed our Fall trees with Miss Pam.  They didn't get to go home today because our paint is still drying.  We are still working very hard on following directions and cleaning up our toys.

Both four year old classes worked on reviewing the letters l, o, g, and h.  We practiced words that started with those letters as well as writing them.  Continue to practice these letters and their sounds at home.  We also continued to work on the Fall season and began to make Fall trees out of their hands and arms.  Don't forget that we are taking a "Nature Walk" to the park on Wednesday as long as the weather cooperates.  We will walk to the park to collect leaves.  If it rains, we will go on Friday!

Both four year old classes had an interesting day today.  We could not go the gym, due to the Women of Purpose Conference, so we had a special "movie" treat instead.  We watched a video about "Hermie" a common caterpillar that tries so very hard to be different.  It takes him a while to realize that God makes us all special and unique, even when we do not realize it.  We spent a lot of time discussing Hermie (and the fact he is a letter H word) and how special we all are.  Along with our movie, we continued to practice the letter h and started discussing Fall.  Do not forget next week is a review week, so no homework, unless you need to send your pumpkin in!

Today was a much better day at school.  The three year old class is working very hard on using our inside voice when we are working or playing in our classroom.  With Miss Pam today, we used paint and our arms and hands to begin making a fall tree.  With Miss Jaime, we worked with the letter two.  I worked with each child (hand-over-hand) to write the number and show the correct way to hold the crayon.  We also counted together.  We hope that you have a great weekend!

We worked on review the letters l,o,and g today.  We seem to have trouble remembering words that start with those letters.  We also talked about the letter h and made handprints as well as wrote the letter H h.  We are still working on rhyming words and compound words.  With our compound words we are practicing taking them apart to see what two words make the new word.

Today, the three year old class had to practice our school routine.  Our one field trip day has really thrown us off.  While we were here, however, we did review our letters A, B, and C and learned about number 1.  With Miss Pam, the students made a picture of a cow, like the ones that we saw at the farm.  Be sure to check your child's folder, we sent home a lot of things today!

Both four year old classes started learning the letter H h today.  Don't forget to send in your letter H picture for your child's book.  Allow your child to cut the picture out of the catalog or book so they can practice cutting as well.  We also wrote the numbers one and two today, as well as counted.  We continue to practice rhyming words, and have started to work with compound words.  We say the word and then try to figure out what two words make the compound word.  Today, we practiced reading the word log and worked on blending sounds together with the word it.

I hope both four year old classes had a great time at the farm even though, we did get wet.  The rain didn't decide to stop until it was almost time to go home.  We did however, get to go on the hay ride, see the garden, go through part of the corn maze, pick pumpkins, and see the animals.  In the barn today was a new calf, only two days old.  We were not allowed to get very close to it, but check out our picture page.  We did get a picture of  the baby and mother.  Have a great weekend, and we will see you on Monday!

The three year old class had a great time at Sweetapple Farm.  I am not sure what our favorite activity was, because we all liked feeding the goats and the hay ride.  I added pictures that I took from our day to the picture page, so be sure to take a look.  Have a great weekend, and I will see you all on Tuesday!

Today was such a great day!  We read our first word today, which was log!  We continued to work with rhyming words and the letter g.  With Miss Pam today, we made sheep with our hands and cotton balls.   Continue working with your child with holding a pencil and writing their letters.  Remember that our trip to Sweet Apple Farm is Friday!

Please remember that this is our only day in our classroom this week.  We did work with the letter C and ate candy corn.  We also talked more about farms and completed a sheep by using our hand and cotten balls.  We are so excited about the farm!  Please check your child's folder for October's snack calendar and the complete student list.  The list contains every child's name, parent name, phone number, birthdate and allergies.  Check over the list to make sure all information is correct.  If something needs changed, please let me know.  If the list is fine, keep it at home for your information.  Thanks!   

Both four year old classes started learning the letter G g today.  We also talked about the farm and made "Happy" cows with Miss Pam.  With our writing skills, please practice with your child how to hold a pencil.  The best way for the them to practice is by watching and doing it with you!  We also continued with rhyming words by listening and reciting some well known nursery rhymes.

Both four year old classes had a great Friday.  We talked more about farms and the letter O.  We worked with patterns and circles.  Continue to practice rhyming words!

Thanks again for sending the bears to school.  We listened to a story about a bear while holding our bears.  We also completed Bubble Painting and played with Letter B objects.  We also learned more about the farm and sang farm songs.  Next week, we will work with the letter C, but only on Tuesday.  Remember that Thursday is our Sweet Apple Farm trip. 

Today both four year old classes worked with the letter O and rhyming words.  With the letter O, we practiced saying letter O words, listened to a story about and octopus, made an ostrich and wrote the letter O.  For our rhyming words, we sang a song like this " Hat and cat are rhyming words, rhyming words.  Hat and cat are rhyming words.  They sound sort of alike."  You can use any rhyming words and just say this with your child.  We also talked more about the farm, and the animals can find there.

Thanks so much for sending the bears to school.  We would love to have our bears back on Thursday.  We worked hard with with the letter B today and learned more about the farm.  We really had a good day.

Today, both four year old classes had a great day.  We reviewed the letter L and began learning the letter O.  Don't forget to send in your letter O pictures for our poster.  The children are creating something with this poster for the end of our school year.  We are also beginning to learn about the farm by creating farm crafts, sorting farm animals, and singing songs.  Today we sang Old McDonald and made ears of corn for our bulletin board.  We are also learning the God created everything in our world.

Miss. Jaime and Miss. Pam,

Thank you for this great web page.  As a parent I find this very helpful. The site is a great parent connection- when I ask Lakyn "What did you do in school today?" and she replies "I don't know." Now I can remind her of some of the things that she did. Thank you for all your hard work with this site and our children.

Miss Jaime and Miss Pam, I think this website is going to be wonderful!  Thanks so much for the extra time and effort this takes to produce.
