Then we did Circle Time. At Circle Time we said the Pledge of Allegiance, identified the weather, talked about the calendar, sang a song about the week, then learned about the days of the week. Each child had an assignment that they got preschool money for completing. Then we learned a new letter. We have a Letter Bag which contains items that start with the new letter. This week was "M," so in the bag we had a mirror, a mermaid toy, and more.
To help everyone get to know each other, we played "Who's Under the Blanket." Dallin took one of the kids out of the room, and the rest of the children picked someone to hide under the blanket. The kid would come back into the room and try to guess who was under the blanket.
Next we had Show-and-Tell. The children brought their favorite toys, books, and backpacks.
Then we decorated place-mats. We glued papers with our name and birthday on, and put our hand print on. We used stickers and markers to decorate. Dallin took our picture to go on them. Maggie enjoyed posing for her picture.
For snack we made paper plate faces. We used paper plates as heads and added eyes, noses, and mouths with food. This was Joey's favorite part. He tried every food there was.
After snack, we played a game called "Bones... No Bones!" We discussed how we all have bones and played a game about different animals that have bones too. Miss Lauren gave us clues, and we had to guess what animal it was. Then we would pretend to be that animal when it had bones. Someone would shout "No bones," and we would all flop to the ground. This was Brynley's favorite part.
Last we made paper-bag "Me Puppets." We gave our puppets matching clothes. Next we gave them a face and hair. The kids enjoyed cutting and gluing.
We can't wait to get to know everyone!
