Mrs. Rachel's Three's Class: Our First Week!

We were off to a great start in our room this week! We truly had so much fun together! Mrs. Katie and I feel so blessed to teach each of these precious children this year!

As part of our first week, we celebrated how God created us all as special individuals. Our theme was All About Me! We talked about being thankful that God made each of us, and everyone got a chance to draw themselves. (You can find your child's beautiful work of art out on our class bulletin board!) We read the book I Like Myself and enjoyed dancing to our poem All of Me! We will be sending home poetry folders next week, so make sure to look for these!

While we may have had limited time for centers this week, we put our focus on learning our routines and learning to play with one another. Everyone did amazing, and we were so proud of them! Mrs. Katie and I also enjoyed doing "All About Me" pages and measurements for each sweet friend that will appear in your child's portfolio at the end of the year. We will be adding to these binders all throughout the year!

We have Bible stories and verses that we all do at LAP, and this week's story was the parable of the wise and foolish builders. Our class will be doing interactive story time each week, so make sure to ask your child if they can remember the story! To practice the song we learned together, you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu5bBDRpzPM

We will begin focusing on letter work more next week, but we did briefly introduce the letter M this week. To practice the letter M, we made macaroni Ms and practiced the sound with saying "Mmm, Mmm, Macaroni!" We also made letter M out of foam beads.

This week at home, see if your child can...

1. Remember our "Hello" song we practiced.
2. Tell you a name of one of their new friends.
3. Use another object to form a letter M.

We cannot wait to grow and learn each week!
