My Family, My Friends, and Me

We have had a busy August! Some days I was good about remembering to take pictures and some days I wasn't but we've had a lot of good times. We play a lot in preschool and we learn a lot (I don't get many pictures of the more structured learning because I'm usually very involved in those portions of the day and not as able to step back and observe). 
These first 4 pictures were all happening at the same time.  I loved how they were all working together/watching each other work so nicely.


 

Playing doctor in the home living center


Fun with water

We were learning the Hickory Dickory Dock rhyme and the kids were having fun acting it out on our couch cushion clock. We had fun acting out Little Miss Muffet on another day but I didn't get pictures of that one.

Having a birthday party in the home living center




Fun with bubbles






They were trying to scare a spider away

Camp-out

Fishing

This was a drizzly day so we mostly played with bikes and sidewalk chalk but it turned out to be a lot of fun!

They were having fun driving/walking through puddles and checking out the tracks they made.

They made a sidewalk chalk road to drive on.

They also experimented with coloring on the wet areas and then making colored tracks.

Cutting practice

Taking care of babies in the home living center

Tracing each other with chalk

Our preschool friends

They had fun spiraling apples for snack

These kids are so sweet! They were making friendship necklaces and each had a separate color bead- they had to share with each other in order to make colorful necklaces.  They shared so well, lots of pleases and thank-yous, and kindness. :)


Puppet shows





We were cheering on our friends as they did the obstacle course







They each took a turn hiding under the blanket while one left the room then came back to figure out who was missing and guess who was hiding.

Our "My Family, My Friends, and Me" theme is now over but we will leave our tree up for a while with our family pictures on it and the leaves that tell what we like about each of our friends.

First Day Pictures

We had a great first day! Here are some pictures from some of our activities.
The beginning of the first day and everyone is happily engaged in doing fine motor activities.  I love it!

Library Time- What a great group of kids!






I love the human tunnels for the car races













They were awesome "bucket fillers"
