Good Afternoon!
Raise your hand if you’ve ever heard “I don’t know” to the question, “So what’d you do at school today?”
Children’s days are packed full of exploration, forming relationships with peers, and curiosity which can make it challenging for them to form specific thoughts as to what their day entailed. There are a couple ways for you to encourage them to share:
1. At night, look over the blog with your child. Even just one picture can elicit a specific thought or feeling that they had earlier in the day.
2. You can also refer to your child’s weekly ‘Electronic Portfolio’! This is another way to spark up conversation about an activity or play experience that your child was involved in.
We love hearing the feelings and thoughts of our friends each day and I know parents do too!
Children used two materials at the welcome activity: counting bears and dominos. We used our imaginations to expand what we ‘usually’ do with these two materials. Maxwell built a tower and on each top, he placed a colorful bear. Anna created homes for her bears using the dominos as walls.
Lucy switched it up by getting sorting all of the colorful bears and with Anna’s help, they created several different patterns to put around the perimeter of the lazy susan.
Outside was calling our name this morning. After we got on sunscreen, the sandbox was the area to be! Friends made meals for one another and took turns eating at the table.
Since the program that generates the pictures is still down, here’s a few extra pictures to hold you over!
