Wednesday, January 4

Group Meeting:  It's good to be back at school!  We started the day by looking at a new schedule.  I decided to switch a few things around on our daily schedule.   I posted the new schedule on the wall so that the children can keep track of what happens next.

Story:  The story for today was Meet January by April Martin.  January is a girl who loves to cuddle in blankets, make s'mores, and read books.  She did a lot of those things during winter break.  Now, it's time to go back to school.  January likes school because of her friends, but she does not like being cold.  Walking to school is a challenge for her.  Her nose, toes, and even her hair are cold.  When she gets to school, her friends help her warm up by doing something special for her.  Ask your child to tell you what it is.  

Small Groups:  The children started a Writing and Drawing Journal.  Today, they drew a picture of a person on the first page of their journal.  We will use these writing journals to draw pictures and later will add words to our drawings.

Letter Learning:  We will start to print the alphabet again next week.  Today, we did Jack Hartman's "Act Out the Alphabet" video.  We saw a letter, made the sound and acted out a word that started with that sound.

Large Group:  The children practiced throwing and catching with a bean bag.

Snack:  The snack was bagels, cream cheese, juice and water.
