9/4 Classroom Update

 We had another great week in preschool! This blog contains updates and pictures for both my T/Th 3's class and PM 5's class. I will put all class specific updates/recaps for the 3's class in blue, and all specific updates/recaps for the 5's class in red. Any information in black pertains to both classes!  

In 3's this week, we continued learning about healthy habits at both school and home! We learned about the importance of washing our hands, how to sneeze and cough without spreading germs, and what to do if we're not feeling well. We did an experiment to see how soap repels germs, sorted "germs" by color, built shapes with wiki sticks, and completed pre-writing mazes. We also sequenced proper hand washing steps and learned a song that we can sing while washing our hands. Here are the words to the song:

Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Wash, wash, wash your hands,

Soap will make them clean,

Scrub them 'til the germs come off,

Now they're nice and clean!

In 5's this week we focused on learning more about ourselves and each other! We discussed how differences make us special, having confidence in ourselves, and how different people have different preferences. We also learned how to say "Me gusta" (I like...) and "No me gusta" (I don't like...) in Spanish! During circle time, we sang the Mat Man song and built Mat Man. We practiced drawing people with all the parts of Mat Man, measured different parts of our body, examined our fingerprints with magnifying glasses, and turned ourselves into paper dolls! Here are some picture highlights of our week in 5's:

Next week, we will read Pete The Cat I Love My White Shoes and focus on different colors in 3's. In 5's, we will read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and focus on the alphabet and our names!
