Ms. Murray's Classes
Hi Preschool Families! Announcements:
We had a fun cold and snowy week. Wow, did they have so much fun in the snow! In both classes, we enjoyed reading a story called Crash! Boom! A Math Tale by Robie Harris. The story is about a child elephant building with blocks wanting to build it as tall as the elephant. While reading, each child had a block and got to stack it on the tower in the middle. It was so fun to watch them stack it any way they want, and then the next friend put theirs on. The Wed/Thurs class enjoyed stacking them precariously and cheering each other on. On Tuesday, the kids collected pinecones outside in a dump truck and brought them inside. After lunch, we picked some paint colors, and rolled the pinecones through the paint. They loved it! In the Wednesday/Thursday class, we have been learning about tally marks. They have learned that once it gets to five, the line goes across. This week we did a tally vote asking “Do you like snow?” We went around the school and asked that question to different grown ups we bumped into and marked it on a tally mark sheet. On Thursday, we voted on what we want out dramatic play to look like next. The vote was between pirates and dinosaurs. Pirates won by 1 vote! After fall break, the classroom will be pirate-themed. We learned the steps of putting on our outdoor gear this week. Now with the snow here, it takes us a little bit longer to put everything on. Time for gear is built into our day. I was reading about winter/snow gear in an early childhood classroom the other day and came across a lovely bit of information I want to share: "Teaching children to get ready for outdoor time is part of the curriculum and therefore is NOT a waste of time. Skills learned in getting dressed:
Ask Your Child: Mon/Tues: Did you paint with pinecones this week? What colors did you use? Wed/Thurs: Did you paint on snow this week? What was that like? What colors did you use? Have a great weekend, Deanna
