Mrs. Gute and I had a wonderful first week in the Preschool Room! All of the children are delightful! We are learning each other's names and we are learning how to play together. Our classroom is filled with great learning centers and the children are having fun exploring them.
We pray together each morning at Circle Time. The children are learning the Sign of the Cross and our Morning Prayer: Thank You for this new school day. Watch over me as I work and play. Help me to be kind today. All of this dear Lord, I pray. AMEN. We also thank God for our food with a Snack Prayer: It's time for snack and so we pray, Dear Lord, please bless our food today. We thank You for the healthy food, that makes our bodies strong and good. AMEN.
The GYM is available each morning and afternoon for 30 minutes. The Preschool Children will have GYM every Tuesday AM and PM Sessions. I will also take advantage of the GYM each day if it is raining and we will not be able to play outside. Therefore, I ask that you send your child in GYM Shoes each day. Flip Flops and sandals are dangerous on the slippery GYM floor.
We are talking about the wonderful bodies God gave us and how much each of us has grown up. We are singing songs about our body. We are dancing and moving and exercising. We are practicing YOGA to integrate our awesome Body and Mind. Our goal is to be healthy, strong Preschoolers.
This week we will paint, color and cut while building up our fine motor skills. You will have many beautiful art projects to decorate your windows, refrigerators and walls.
I am continuing to paint the classroom. I finished the window ledge and most of the windows this weekend. The blinds have been sent off for a thorough cleaning. I will be finished painting this week. Now our room is a pretty bright blue and it looks and feels nice and clean!!!
Have a great week!
