First Day Success!

Group Meeting:  The children learned about our 10 frame counting chart.  We will put a sticker on the chart every day and keep track of how many days we have been at school.  The children listened to me recite the Pledge of Allegiance while putting a right hand on their heart. 

Story:  The story for today was Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni.   Little Blue and Little Yellow are color dots.  They have a mom and a dad.  One day, Little Blue and Little Yellow hugged each other and turned green.  When they returned home, their parents did not recognize them.  Ask your child to tell you how they became Little Blue and Little Yellow again.  

Large Group:  The children listened to the classroom rules.   The puppets, Zoey and Max, talked to the children about sitting on the rug while being polite to the others in the class.
The children danced to the Bean Bag Boogie.  During this song, the children had to balance a bean bag on a body part while dancing and not let the bean bag fall on the floor.  I heard lots of giggling during this time. 

Snacks:  The children had granola bars with apple juice.  They learned to take a snack and pass the basket to the person sitting next to them.  They also learned to pour juice or water into a cup. 

I thought today was a great start to our school year.   I saw lots of smiles.  Tomorrow, I'll post a few pictures that I was able to take.   Thank you, parents for being patient in the car line while we learn new faces and vehicles!
