During our morning meeting, we each get a chance to share something with the class. We also do our "circle time" activities during this time. We go over the month, days of the week, weather, season, and do our attendance. They're really catching on to it! We then spent some time using different manipulatives in the room while I assessed children one at a time. I will continue to do these next week. I assess them to see what they know and what they don't so I can set goals for each child academically.
We had Spanish class this morning with Elena. The children are already learning their colors in Spanish! I was impressed when they came back and told me some of the colors they have learned. Ask your child how to say "red" in Spanish (rojo, pronounced ro-ho) and "blue" (azul).
When we came back, we had a special presentation by the Seminarians. The Seminar class is the oldest of our middle school. They put on a puppet show for the early learners to teach them about our playground rules and playground safety. Our class was a fantastic audience! Ask your child what sticks are for (sticks are for building) and what they should do if someone gets hurt (go get a teacher).
We then read out of a collection of stories called "A Treasury for Four Year Olds". This book contains beautiful illustrations for fairy tales and nursery rhymes. Today I read "Three Billy Goats Gruff", "The Fast and Flashy Fish", and "Ug-Ug-Ugly".
Everyone fell asleep very quickly today during quiet rest! It has been a long week for many of them and I'm sure they'll need lots of rest this weekend. See you all on Monday! :)
