HOOT HOOT Precious Owls,

We had so much fun in the owl room this week. We talked about bears. We scooped and poured our rice over the bears while talking about colors and size. "Big red bear" We colored with crayons and made pictures with our bear stickers. They are requesting certain stickers by using their language. We bathed the babies again, fed them and put them to bed. We read Brown Bear and retold the story with the animal pictures. We let the animals slide down the slide while we talked about colors and animals. We loved this. My owls love sliding with the animals too. We played with the bear sorters and sand a song while putting them on our body parts. "I have a bear on my head". They think it so funny when I put the animals on my head. HEHEHE!!

We had a great time in motor movement where we meet Mrs. Betty and played with her bean bags, balls and danced to the music.

In chapel we talked about Zacchaeus and jumped up to find a tree branch and looked for Zaccheus as he was hiding. This was fun. We also got a stamp.

Outside we played in the water, painted and looked through the glasses, played with the shiny objects and listened to the egg shakers.

We had a full week in the Owl class. I had happy friends.

I look forward to next week- We will be exploring spiders, and fall.

With Love

Hello Sweet Owls~

We had another wonderful week in the OWL class. I had very little tears and more smiles and happy squeals as we learned and explore our room. We continued to talk about "Me and Our Families". We scooped and poured in the rice table again. It is so fun to put it on the floor. We are working on keeping it in the sensory table. We also washed the babies and poured water over them while talking about our body and pointing to the different parts. This was a favorite among all the little owls. We discovered our blocks with our pictures on them and talked about our friends names and stacked the blocks while using all the language. We read our books and talked about what we love and we also read "Peekaboo Baby" We tried painting with our feet but my owls were not ready so we painted with brushes instead. It was fun to watch some of them paint for the first time. We made dots on the easel and of course played outside.

This week we went to chapel and talked about how God made everything. Ms. Pat had huge story items she pulled out of envelope to tell the story. We danced and got a stamp.

Please remember to bring 2 changes of clothes. I had a thought, the first outfit seems to get the dirties. Maybe send them in a play outfit and I will put them in their cute outfit when it is time to go home.

I look forward to next week we will be exploring Bears.

Have a wonderful weekend

With Love Ms.Tracee

Hello Sweet Owls~

What a wonderful 2 weeks we have had at school. We are having so much fun getting to know each other. All of my owls seem happy exploring our room and outside. I had very few tears. YEAH!! We love playing in the rice in the sensory table, it is fun to scoop and pour the rice over the people. We enjoyed reading Here Are My Hands and touching and naming our body parts. It is so fun to see ourselves in the mirrors and look at our beautiful face. We sang a few songs and played our music instruments. We loved hearing the different sounds. We made our first day of school hand prints and colored an Owl. We explored Ms. Pat's water tables and painted. We had fun in the sandbox and slid down the slide.

Please remember to send your little Owls in play clothes so we can explore our environment and we don't have to worry about our clothes. Also maybe two pairs of extra clothes. I do my best to clean them up after our work is done but some friends love the water and the paint and our brains are growing while we explore.

Remember to make your file folder scrapbooks and a separate family picture is great also. I like for them to have a book of their families in our library to look at.We read these and they are usually their favorite books to read. It is great for them to see their name when looking at these books.

I look forward to next week~ we will continue to talk about "Me and our Families"

Every week I will post new pictures to Snapfish. Click on the link. I am having some trouble with my camera. So please be patient with me and the pictures. I will get better and more consistent with each class.

Have a wonderful weekend.

With Love~
