Week 1 All About Me

9/1/2018

By far the All About Theme is my favorite theme to teach. I love to watch the children discover things about themselves and their friends.

This unit is designed to get kids thinking about themselves and the things that they can do.

During our Social Skills meeting we learn how to be Active Listeners with a simple to understand group book and song to support this learning skill.

Pocket Chart Math is in full swing and the children are enjoying it. This week we learned about one to one correspondence with a art helper that had to pass out the need supplies to each child.

They demonstrated their knowledge by coming up with the amount they needed for the amount of children in their group.

Our learning Centers got changed out this week know that the children are really getting the concept of each Learning Center and how to take care of them.

We did change out our sensory table from the plans to sorting color pom poms while building fine motor skills.

Look at the collaboration happening in our block center.

We are learning to recognize and build our name with this Name Building Activity.

They are going to look amazing hanging on the wall.

We laughed and giggled during our group movement with the body rhyme and then we touch bases on the rhymes again with this fun body rhyme game.

Head, shoulders, knees and toes. Oh and don't forget eyes, ears, noes and mouth. We are drawing out our body parts with these fun draw and wipe body mats.
