We're Back!

Thank you one and all for coming to parent teacher conferences. It is always so nice to get some face time with the grown ups, and we appreciate you taking time out of your day for us - especially with having to rearrange things for the 3 year old class - way to go, Kansas City Royals!

This blog hasn't had much love since mid-October, mostly because we've been focusing on conferences. We hope to have much more time in the coming weeks to update with photos and stories about our days. Until then, here are some things we've been up to.  Both classes are VERY in to the marble run. It is so much fun to watch how the children play with this toy. They have to work together, and they really have a good time trying to figure out how to make the marbles go down the most paths. We are always looking for ways to scaffold play between the 3 and 4 year old classes, and the marble run is a great example of how play can continue to grow and change as the children do the same.

This week was Kansas Reads to Preschoolers week, and the book we read this year was Is Your Mama a Llama by Deborah Guarino and Steven Kellogg. Miss Irene came to read to both classes, and we also chose to include Llama, Llama, Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney. In conjunction with reading that book, the children in room 103 decided that we should have a pajama day and a pajama drive. Information about the pajama drive went home in cubbies this week. Pajama day for the 4 year old class is Monday, November 23rd, and for the 3 year old class is Tuesday, November 24th! Wear your jammies to school - yay!

Enjoy some photos from our week!

last week we got to watch the progression of the new steeple as it moved from Mission Road to the top of Village Church!
