"One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish" was a great way to start our Dr. Seuss Week.
Roll, count, and add fish to the fish bowl.

"Put Me In The Zoo" was our next book.
Fine motor painting and finding numbers too.

Wacky Wednesday called for some wacky things-
like doing our work UNDER the table.

We love when our book buddies stay and do fun stuff. Board games, crafts, and snowflakes projects were just a few things we did with them.

The LaFayette County Health Dept came to teach us about our bodies and how to keep them healthy. We love it when these ladies come.

Dress-up days, friends in other grades, and games in the gym-
Oh the perks of a small school.

A big skill we worked on this month was measurement. We measured with all different types of materials. We practiced counting and writing numbers too.

Gingerbread Measurement

Matching numbers and practicing counting

After reading The Gingerbread Man, we retold the story and sequenced all the events that happened.

Our first ever ECC Christmas Program was a BIG hit! I could not be any more pleased with the outcome. These kiddos blew me away. They remembered their lines, places, and songs.

If you missed it you can re-watch it on the church's Facebook page
(Trinity Lutheran Church- Alma, MO).

THANK YOU to the parents that helped with our Christmas Party!! The kids enjoyed themselves. It was the perfect ending to our first half of the school year.

Independent Play is a GREAT thing!

Independent play fosters creativity. When children are encouraged to solve problems on their own, they come up with endless possibilities.

We play board games quite frequently in preschool. Games teach so many skills.
Our current goal is teaching "winning and losing". It's a lesson everyone needs to learn. How do we handle winning and losing? We've been practicing.

Teaching good eating habits in preschool!

Scissor skills are tough. We've been practicing
A LOT lately.

Great Job Sawyer!

VVVVVVVV Look at that nice line! VVVVVVVVV
