It was so great to have everyone back at school this week! The kids were so excited to see their friends again and really ready to learn! We started off the new year with lots of cool new toys in our room and new morning centers! Just check out all these little smarties at work!
This week we focused on things that were unique to them. We worked on our address and phone numbers, then we put it together to make "Mrs. Jen's Class Directory."
Then we put the directory in the housekeeping center with 2 phones and let their imagination run wild! The kids had a blast with this, they were calling each other for play dates, calling the fire department and telling them their address, some kids even set up a pest control business and sent one kid out to different addresses to get snakes, lizards, and even a mouse!
We also talked about the new year and what they wanted to learn in the new year. The kids painted a self-portrait, added a party hat and blower, then wrote what they wanted to learn. They turned out so cute I just had to keep them to hang at the new school, but I snapped a picture so you guys can see them before February :)
It was another great week with an awesome group of kids! Happy New Year!!!!
