This
week has been lovely. Barely even needed to water, but that hasn't
stopped the kids. There's still been enough time to work with shaving
cream on the porch table, which if you haven't tried at home, you
absolutely have to. You can write names in it, sound out letters, you
name it. I like to make sure every kid gets a chance to talk about
what they're doing, it's pretty amazing the things they write.
Counting games in the shaving cream are fun, too. I've had a lot of
parents ask about kindergarten prep, and I wanted to talk about our
continuing exposure to letters, words, and numbers, along with our
play and work, and we've continued to take every opportunity to bring
letter sounds, crafts, and counting into the environment. Patty
brought in a wonderful new song about worms, ladybugs and bees, which
the kids would love to share with you if you ask them. Corn starch
and water are another fun activity from this week, and another fun
one to do at home. Building has been another big deal of the week,
with the kids putting together huge tracks on the back porch, and on
our really rainy days, building castles inside out of cardboard boxes
big enough for the whole crew to share. Finally, winding down the
week, we had a quiet Friday with some muffins that the kids had a
hand in helping mix.
I
think I've heard from all the parents by now about their feelings on
photos of the kids' activities on the web page, and I will be
compiling them into a list I consult when putting up photos, making
sure to respect your boundaries.
Let's have another great
week!
