Day 2!



9:30-9:45 circle time: Review letter of the week (A) and previous word of the day (Absorb). Introduce spanish pronounciation of "A" and coresponding word (Abeja). Introduce the new word of day (Aquaintance). Calendar time. Sing "Head, shoulders, knees & toes". Review centers for the morning. Sharing time!
9:45-10:30 Centers & Free Play: Color "Abeja" work sheet, journal work- draw a picture of something that begins w/"A", and practice writing the letter. Free time w/play dough (that we made during the previous class), paint, toys, reading.
10:30 Wash hands/snack time.
10:45 Off to the Library!
11:00 Story time @ the library: Check out books, obtain library cards for the children.
Today went very well, as expected! The children both looked forward to their 2nd day of preschool. Upon entering our home, Darius & Lorien put their lunch boxes in their cubbies & their items for sharing time on the bottom cubby.
Circle time went well, and both children were eager to share their items. Lorien shared an Alphabet book, and a can of Apple Juice. Darius shared an Anchor that he took off of our wall earlier this morning! Both children seemed to grasp the concept of the different sound of the letter “A” in the Spanish language, and pronounced “Abeja” very well.
When free play time came around, Both Darius & Lorien gathered around the play dough. Leilah & Vanessa were quick to join, and began nibbling on some play dough :)
Our first trip to the library was a success! Lorien and Darius did really well, and participated frequently. Lorien was so eager to sing the library songs & share her thoughts with the librarian!
After story time, we went to the juvenile book section where we all picked out books for the following week at preschool. We then obtained library cards for each of them. Boy were they excited to have their own library cards!
We look forward to our library trip next week, and I know they are excited to use their library cards again!
