Dear Families,
Welcome to the Barnyard Buddies! I am very excited to welcome you to our classroom this year. For the first few weeks, we will learn the basics of school. We will learn how to sit, attend, and raise our hands to get special jobs at circle time. We are learning how to use and share toys with our friends during play time. We will also learn how to be successful at work/small group time by sitting at the table and using scissors, glue sticks, markers, and paper materials appropriately. Here's what our daily schedule looks like.

Here's what we will be working on this week
Monday- We will be working on fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination by peeling stickers and placing them on dots during art time. At small groups we will work on our scissor skills by snipping paper.
Tuesday- We will work on our fine motor skills and finger strength by crinkling tissue paper and placing it on a line. At small groups we will glue colored circles to their match on the paper.
Wednesday- We will use different materials that use our fine motor skills (paint brushes, sponges) to paint a picture. At small groups we will sort and glue on big and small pictures on to paper.
Thursday- We will practice our pre-writing skills by coloring inside the lines of various shapes. At small groups we will be putting puzzle pieces together with letters on them to make our names.
