This week we are talking about summer and the letter Ss.
Our table activities in the morning are decorating ice pops, collecting bugs, water play with boats and watermelon sensory bags.
Our Key Developmental Indicators of the week are-
Planning: Children make plans and follow through on their intentions. - We all chose what to play this morning, and did follow through on our plans. We did change our plans, especially this first week, there is just so much to explore!! But we did follow through to begin!
Fine-motor skills: Children demonstrate dexterity and handeye coordination in using their small muscles.- Ripping paper to make a slice of watermelon and using our pincher grip to pick up sequins and peel stickers and foam are great exercises to get me ready to write!
Our small group activities really concentrate on summer fun and fine motor. We all ate a piece of watermelon and then used ripped paper to make a slice! On Thursday we will use our pincher grip to peel paper off the foam stickers to decorate our summer sun visors.
Jesus Time- This week we are hearing the story of creation. How God created the world with his word in six days. Day one was light, day two water was created, day three plants were created, four-sun, moon and stars, five- fish and birds, six- all land animals and people. We read a big book with wonderful illustrations and simple rhyming text that ended with, "It was good."
Books of the week- "Summer Days and Nights" by Wong Herbert Yee and "Summer is Summer" by Phillis and David Gershator.
Next Wednesday, September 12th, there will be a parent meeting for the parents of the preschoolers. At this meeting, Pastor Kieta will be explaining about a program that could make enrollment in our day school something to think about. I will also be giving parents their individual codes for when we switch to our Ipod sign in and collecting any paperwork I am missing at this point. It will be held at 6:30pm at the church! Thank you in advance for your attendance.
On Thursday, I am sending home a slip about our first field trip which takes place on Wednesday, August 19th at Plymouth Orchards- all are welcome to attend!!
Have a fantastic week!
Mrs. Schneck and Mrs. Oetzel
