Me, Myself, and I...a great beginning to a new year!

As I kick off my 5th start to a LAP school year...I couldn't feel more blessed! I just adore all of these sweet faces.


This week we learned about how special we all are...no matter how we look. God has made each of us different and special! We did some fun things to learn about the letter Mm and the number 1. During the school year I will do many things that highlight fine motor skills...so many of our activities incorporate that...

Thursday:
After reading the book, The Kissing Hand...we decided to make special kissing hands for you...so when we are at school you will feel our love!

Look at this big boy cleaning his hand after we took his sweet hand print!

A pro at getting her hand painted!

Who doesn't love pigs and Legos??

A sweet "cheese" from this boy!

Perfect sweetness right here!

Time for the green room! Look at his great balance!

This peanut rolling out on the "peanut"

More balancing!

striding out on the river rocks!

Snack time!
During Snack time is when I do our author study. For the next few weeks I will be reading James Dean books. He writes the Pete the Cat books. The kiddos love Pete!


Some sweet responses to what they want to do when they grow up!
These will be put in their portfolios!



I recently learned her response was a Nursery Nurse...this gal will be able to practice her skills on her newest baby sisters...yes plural!


Taking their special fingerprints! 

Our independent station...letter dotting.


After reading "Pete Rocking in His School shoes" We rocked in ours!

Our rewards for rocking our first day of preschool!
Great job sweet friends!

Checking out the magnets! Play time is so important in these early stages! The learn how to use their imagination, build friendships, take turns, and share! We have lots of free social/play time!

Friday:
Play-Doh is such a great icebreaker! Kids love it...and it is great for those small hands!

After reading, I Like Myself we answered questions about ourselves so we could learn a little more about these sweet friends! They then got to water color their banners!




Oh that sweet smile!








This sweet gal so super excited to show me that she can climb the rock wall this year! Last year it was a little intimidating but this year...she was ready to conquer! So proud of her!

pogo jumping builds those sweet leg muscles!

another monkey!

Jumping to the stars!

Mm is for macaroni! This was a great fine motor skill! Pinching and grasping will build those little fingers up.




playing shout-out with the number 1 and rainbow writing it!


Learning how to trace and dot stamp the letter Mm

Picture of the week! Peek-a-boo!

Who loves Jesus! These kiddos! Here is where I get many of my bible lessons:

Before snack we always have a bible lesson...and on Fridays at the end of the day we celebrate our  verse of the week and get sweet bracelets to remind us and to share with you. 


Our sweet All about me banner!

We had the most wonderful week and can't wait to see what next week brings us! We will be working on friends and family theme, the letter Ff, and the number 2.
