This week, we learned about the letter B and discussed bedtime. At the beginning of the week, we talked about our bedtime routines and important things to do before going to bed. We especially loved our visit from Ms. Alisha, a dental hygienist at Kingma's Pediatric Dentistry, where we learned about how to take care of our teeth and make healthy choices for our teeth. Later in the week, we discussed the differences between night and day, and sorted things that we do and see during the night and day. We also painted starry night skies, went on a letter B hunt, practiced one-to-one correspondence making bedtime quilts, and put our babies to bed in our dramatic play area.

As winter approaches, we have also been working on zipping our coats at school. I model for the students how I zip my coat, then allow them opportunities to try before helping friends that still need help. When helping students, I help guide them through the steps so that they are learning and doing at the same time. This is a great skill to practice at home as well!
