Friends

 Our art activities continue to center on representing ourselves and our new friends we are making at school.
We interviewed everyone with some simple questions and received some fun and interesting answers. We can get to know people by asking questions and learning more about them.

We chose a boy or girl figure to represent ourselves and then chose a friend at school and their corresponding figure. Friendships form quickly at preschool!


 Three more friends shared the All About Me bucket this week.













 This exercise allows each child to speak in front of the group and share some of their favorite things.


 It also gives everyone else the chance to be a listener and ask questions.








We decorated our figures, adding hair and clothing with colored markers.
 The weather was perfect for playground time and we took advantage of it everyday.







Fresh air and sunshine are essential ingredients to a great day.









 We practiced some grown up roles in the beauty shop and the housekeeping corner.

It was a week of recognizing our friends at school and continuing to share about ourselves too.








Ask your child to name a friend at school.

Friends

We spent our week talking about, playing with, and working alongside our friends at school.





























Counting was fun as we used stamps and stickers to show the large number of friends we all have.


















Playdough, cognitive games, and art were opportunities for working alone and with friends.













One of our favorite things was looking at our first class book of the year. We each have a page with our picture and name. It's a fun book to share and helps us to match our friends names with their smiling faces.












Outside time was still very warm, but fun as we made good use of all the playground has to offer.
