tuesday news

Hello seahorse families!! I just wanted to update a little early this week. We have two new friends starting with us in the seahorse class. So i just want to say welcome Ashlee and Aiden. They have settled right in with the other children and have already become good friends with their classmates. Emilu and Ashlee spent the day drawing pictures together with sidewalk chalk and the boys all took part in dump truck races and snake chases by Hunter and Mikel. They have been using the jump-ropes as snakes and chase the others around. =D

This week i'masking for baby pictures of your children for a special picture board that we are putting together for back to school night. The kids are really getting a kick out of trying to figure out who is who so please bring a baby picture in by friday. It's homework!! haha

On monday we started reviewing and talking about ourselves. We reviewed body parts such as our head, neck, back, ankles, knees and etc. We had a song to help us go over the basic parts which the kids enjoyed because they also got to move. After that we talked about our heart and veins. We looked for and felt our pulse and heart beat which Hunter came up to me today and said " Ms. Krystal I feel my heart beating!!"

Today we worked on The long and short of me project. I traced each child's leg, foot, arm, and hand/ thumb print. Cameron Couldn't stop laughin because "it tickled" when i traced around his leg and foot. Tomorrow we are going to get a ruler to measure and count how long/ short each body part is.

Thursday we are going to start talking about grandparents and our older friends. We will be making a special picture for them that will be sent home for the children to give to them. So i'm sorry but more homework please send in the names of grandparents/older friends. This will also help with the family tree that we will be working on. =D

Thank you everyone. I'm sorry i don't have time to post pictures tonight but i will try tomorrow because i have some good ones =p Good night!

~Ms. Krystal
