Ms. Murray's Classes
Hi Folks! I apologize for the late blog post. Announcements:
Thank you for the great turn out at Open House! Wow, the kids had a ton of fun this week. On Tuesday, we attended the first All School Meeting of the year. We sat with the whole school and listened to Mr. Provost lead. We also got to dance to drumming, done by the Kindergarten teacher, Matt. Our ECO program is ramping up! We enjoyed time out in the woods on both Wednesday and Thursday. On Thursday, we decorated pieces of cloth with markers, which are used as boundaries. The boundaries represent how far the kids can travel in the woods. This helps them take a sense of pride in their ECO spot. The kids are also starting to practice sitting in their "sit spots". Each child chooses their own spot in the woods, away from others, where they can sit quietly and listen to the noises of the forest. This happens at the end of each ECO session, for about 3 minutes. After, we gather together and share what we heard. Most of them say that's their favorite part! A brochure giving more information about ECO will be sent home next week. The kids are practicing and learning a new song called "Count the Magic Number". We sing this when the kids line up to count how many kids are here that day. That is our magic number. On Wednesday and Thursday in the sensory table, there was corn! We focused heavily that this was not corn for eating, since I got it at a feed store. They scooped and dumped the corn in the sensory table. At another table, they were using corn to glue on their names. This is a great fine motor activity to squeeze the glue and use their fingers to pinch each piece of corn. Thanks for another great week! Ms. Murray
