TK - Ms. Kristine

We have stayed busy over the past few weeks in TK, even though we have had shorter work weeks with the holidays.  The children come in tired, but they love to come to school to play and get their work done. 

9/22 - 9/24

Last week we worked on the sound for /B/.  The children made beautiful blue or black birds and decorated them with bright feathers. They painted their birds along with a contracting background to make each bird colorful and original.  Some friends used buttons for eyes, making them extra fun.

We also made breaded, blue bracelets. They had so much fun making their beautiful bracelets while making patterns with the different shades of blue. TK loves to make jewelry because it's so fun to wear them home. To conclude, the children colored and cut pictures of /B/ items and placed them on a Big B.

9/28 - 10/1

This week we worked on the sound for /H/.  We made happy homes out of various shapes and, of course, the letter H is hidden in the art.  The children used the rubbing technique to add a little texture to their home (the H), with crayon. They followed with adding shapes for the door and the window and roof.  Once they built their beautiful and original home, they added the landscape.  Every home needs some landscape to make it welcoming and pretty.  We ended up with a row of beautiful houses that were picture perfect. 

We concluded with coloring and cutting items that start with /H/ to place on their big H.  Their fine motor skills are really improving along with their confidence. 

To welcome the new month, the children made their October calendar.  They practiced tracing their numbers and made fall art.  They got to use legos to stamp paint ears of corn and cut out fun eyes to make the corn come to life. They came out very cute and the children were excited to take them home. 

Have a wonderful weekend,
