Today we read a story about Abby the Alligator and painted alligators too!!  We talked about where alligators live and we watched a silly video about an alligator.  I was so excited that some of the kids remembered the sound that letter Aa makes!! Woot!!  Woot!!

Everyone loved painting their alligators!!
Colt brought a super fun snack today.....Alligator cookies!!  They were a big hit!!  Some of the kids didn't even want to eat them because they wanted to show their mommies!!  I told them I would take a picture so you could see!!  I thought that was pretty cute!!  Thanks Colt for making our snack time extra special!!
We ran out of time today to do our tracing paper so I sent it home in your child's folder.  Please help them trace the letter A's and the apple too.  We are really working on our fine motor skills!!  I appreciate your help!!  Send it back to school on Tuesday so I can give your child a sticker!!  :)  See you next week!!

A is for Apples...

Today we learned about letter Aa and the sound that it makes.  We read a little story about an alligator who gets angry at an ant that took away his apple.  These alphabet stories are designed to teach children using sound and motion.  Your child will learn a motion for every letter of the alphabet in hopes that it will help them remember the sound for each letter.  Ask your child to tell you what A the alligator says..../a/, /a/, /a/!
We practiced using our scissors and cut a worm out to put on our apple paper.  Thank you so much for continuing to practice at home!!  

Meredith brought Applejacks and applesauce to share with everyone!!  What a great idea to go with our theme today!!  Thanks Meredith!

We did our very first tracing paper today to help us write the letter A.  This will take a few times to practice to get the hang of it but we will be doing this a lot in preschool.  Tracing is a great fine motor skill and we can all use the practice.  Everyone had fun putting little apple stickers on the capital and lowercase A's as well.  They definitely had lots of fine motor practice today!!

Today we read a messy story about colors and counting!!  

Dog was white with one black spot on his ear but after his exciting day he had ten spots of color everywhere!!  Ask your child to tell you about the story.  We made our very own messy dogs while retelling the story.

We also played a game at story time and had to put the spots on dog and count them too!
Gavin wore a dog shirt and dog socks too!!  He was really excited about this story!!  
Maddux brought dog treats for snack today!!!  (OK....they were really Scooby dog bone cookies but we had fun pretending!!)  His mom made them really colorful to go with our theme of the day!!  Thanks for making our snack time so much fun!!  :)

Today we read Bee and Me and talked about how bees are such hard workers......and that is why we are called the Busy Bees....because we are hard workers too!!  We made a beehive and glued honeycomb cereal to our project.  We also practiced using scissors today!!  We still need lots of practice but it will come with time.  Please help your child practice cutting shapes at home.  I so appreciate your help!! :)  Check out our beehives!!  They really worked hard using their fine motor skills today!!  I love Owen's cheesy smile too!!  I am already falling in love with these cuties!!

We played in our centers today and everyone is working on sharing and being a good friend.  We sang our morning songs and did a little dancing too!  Karlea brought us a really fun bee snack.  Her mommy turned our applesauce cups into bees and she brought honeycomb cereal too!! :)  Thanks for making our snack time so much fun!!
Check out Karlea's bee outfit!!  Adorable!! :)

Today we read The Day the Monster Came to School....a story about a little monster that did not follow the rules!!  He was always in trouble until his teacher taught him how to act in school.  We reviewed our classroom rules and our behavior chart.  The students told me that the monster would definitely have a red day if he went to Busy Bee Preschool!!  They are catching on quick!!  ;)  We made a monster paper to go with our story.  We glued on eyes and put dot stickers on our monsters working on our fine motor skills.


  Check out our cute monsters!!

Cruz celebrated her 4th Birthday today and brought us some scary Monster Donuts and some chocolate milk too! (her fav!!)   Needless to say the kids loved their snacks today!!  Thanks Cruz and Happy Birthday!! 
We reviewed our story from last time....The Kissing Hand..... and we did a story recall paper.  They did a great job remembering so many details from the story.  Have them tell you about their paper.

Today we read The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn.  It is a story about a little raccoon named Chester who was afraid to go to school.  He really wanted to stay at home with his mommy.  Chester's mommy told him a secret about a kissing hand.  Have your child tell you about the story.  I am happy to report that we didn't have any tears!!  I had a couple of sweeties who wanted to hold my hand and sit on my lap in the beginning but by the end of the day they were all having fun and told me they are ready to come back again on Tuesday!!


Check out these cute smiles......

We made our very own kissing hands to share with our mommies and daddies.  Yes.....I cut out all of the pieces!!  It is the first day of school so painting hands and using glue sticks was as brave as I got!!  They will be using scissors in no time!!  They loved their Chester Raccoons....I hope you do too!!
