First Post!

Hello and welcome to our brand new preschool blog! Here we will be posting information about upcoming lesson plans and center events as well as pictures of our work. Check back regularly to see what we're up to!

Week of January 9-13
Our theme this week has been family. We have been learning and talking especially about how family members can help each other. Miss Carey and Miss Nicole have shared quite a few books all about families! We also have been practicing tracing family words like mom, dad, brother, and sister. In Art we got to draw pictures of us helping our family. Math time has been fun too! We got to spend family time playing Candyland and counting and sorting gems.

Last week we read the book, Have You Filled A Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud and we've been working on being bucket fillers ever since. Being a bucket filler means to be nice and do nice things for others. You can be a bucket filler just by saying please and thank you! We also learned what it means to be a bucket dipper--doing things that might hurt our friends' feelings. We are not bucket dippers! We got to decorate buckets and put them up in our classroom. Each day we get a sticker for being a bucket filler and when we have 10 stickers we get to choose a prize from the treasure chest! It's easy to be a bucket filler and it makes our class happy and fun.
