School Lunch :)

Some of us may have not such fond memories of some school lunches from our preschool and elementary days... but I tell you our class has been loving them! This day they were enjoying turkey sandwiches, fruit, and veggies.  The photos below are candids of them eating their lunch.
Eating sandwiches and learning to put mayo on. 

Boy these sandwiches are delicious!

More fruits and veggies please!

Drinking some ice cold milk and inspecting sandwiches.

Mmmm... Lunch is so good...

"Miss Meaghan why you taking a picture of me eating?" and the expression on the right is just priceless isn't it?
 
Hope you enjoyed our lunch post!  If there is any part of our day you would like to see on the blog please e-mail me and let me know!  Have a great night! :)

Fun Friday! (...turned into sleepy Friday...)

     In our classroom, we try to make every Friday, "Fun Friday."  We have different fun activities for our small groups.  Today they could choose between playdoh, painting, and using our new cutting table (they preferred to say they were chopping).  They were able to rotate between the activities that they wanted.  We definitely had a good time!!!


Playdoh fun!

Painting gorgeous pictures!

Wonderful watercolors!

Practicing cutting!
  
 
We have found out that having a "fun Friday" morning leads to a very sleepy Friday afternoon... 









 

Have a great weekend! :)

Playdoh

     Today we worked with playdoh at large group time.  Playdoh is one of the best tools we can use to develop fine motor skills.   Squeezing and squishing the playdoh works on strength while pinching and rolling the playdoh helps with coordination. We tell the children the playdoh is helping to make their fingers stronger!
 
     Today was the first day we took out some of the rollers, shapers, and cutters for the playdoh so it was a very good lesson on sharing.  We could hear many children saying "Can I use that when you're done?" or "Pass the toys please?" 
 
 
 

Can you pass the roller please?
 
Building their "finger muscles."
 
Can I have the scissors when you're done?
 
Working with the playdoh.
 
Making that playdoh into hearts and pizzas.
 
Have a fantastic night! :)
