Lorien and Darius eagerly waited outside and put their lunch boxes away in their cubbies. Lorien had her huge Disney Princess backpack and lunchbox, and Darius had his hand-me-down lunch box from his big bro (he doesn't care as long as it's filled with food!). After putting their items away, they waited in line for me to open the door to their new Preschool!Here is an outline of their first day, followed by a summary of the day:
Letter of the week : "A"
word of the day : "Absorb"(eng) "Abeja"(Spanish)
9:30-9:45 Circle time (getting to know you, going over the class room calendar, introducing the letter of the week and word of the day)
9:45-10:30 Centers + free play (Decorate the letter of the week, journal decorating, free play w/learning toys and art (magnatiles, blocks, painting, crafting, etc)
10:30-11:00 Special Project (making play dough)
11:00-11:15 Story time "Rooster's off to See the World" by Eric Carle
11:15-11:45 Wash hands/snack
11:45-12:00 Closing circle time (review Letter/Word, stretching, singing)
The children had a great time today. Lorien could be found putting her sweet arms around Darius intermittently- so adorable! When we made the play dough Darius wanted blue or red, and Lorien of course wanted pink or purple! They came to a compromise & decided on purple this time, and Darius's choice the next. We talked about how the flour was "Absorbing" the water to reinforce the concept.
Leilah & Vanessa had a good time as 'preschool observers', I am hoping to get Leilah's room organized one of these days so they can have another place to play:)
