JDaniel officially started school this week. He loves it. In fact he told me he doesn’t need his worry rock. He doesn’t seem to have a worry about school. He couldn’t wait to go back today.
In the story Maisy Goes to Preschool by Lucy Cousins Maisy loves preschool too. She walks the reader through her day.
She hangs up her coat, paints a beautiful picture, has a wonderful snack, uses the restroom (and washes her hands), has story time, takes a nap, has music class, and recess.
Maisy has a really busy day. She must be in full day preschool due to the fact she takes a nap.
JDaniel had a busy first day. He had Spanish and music classes along with his regular routine. On Thursday he went to the science room. He is only in school for three hours. I am not sure how they fit it all in.
What did we do?
Review of Letters of the Month
I made a flip chute for a guest post on making flip chutes called Strategies for Learning: Creating a Flip Chute Learning Tool I did earlier this week on Simply Stacie. I put together flip chute cards to review the letters of the month in JDaniel’s class. They are L, E, and F. Jdaniel looks at the picture and tells me the initial sound of the word. Then he puts the card in the flip chute and the initial letter appears of the card.
He really like using the flip chute. We will be using it again for other skills.
Teacher Portraits
JDaniel drew his teachers’ heads with all kinds of spirals around them. I am not sure why.
Oooh his teacher’s portraits are cute – even with unexplained spirals! He did well 🙂
Hooray for Pre School! So pleased he likes it!
Maggy
He’s growing up so fast!
I’m glad he is enjoying pre-school! What cute ideas, I love the teacher portraits!
I love the teacher portraits too. I think the spirals are the energy fields around the teachers….that only young children can see. 🙂
We love the Maisy books too. Great idea with the flip chute. I’m totally going to make one of those. Thanks for hosting Read. Explore. Learn again 🙂
I think the spirals must be teacher hugs 🙂
Love the flip chute!
I absolutely love all the back to school posts that have been going on for hte last two weeks. I remember those days. How fun and exciting it was to go back to school!
Super cute idea! I love the spirals – as I teacher, I am sure I have had many around my head from time to time!
lol 🙂
Visiting from Alphabe-Thursday!
Congratulations on the first week of school. Teacher portraits are adorable. I hope JD will continue to love school!
Love the Flip Chute. What a great idea! I’m so happy JD loved his first week of preschool. I am in amazement too at how much they get done in only 3 hours. My 4yr old starts school next week and I’m ever so anxious to see how he likes it.
The teacher portraits are so cute. I love it when they do the swirls. And each swirl means something different! Our oldest drew swirls and it was the path to the beach in Mexico. LOVE their imaginations!
School is so fun at that age! WE always love the Maisy books!
The flip chute is really cool. I remember lots of Maisy when my munchkins were a bit younger. Sadly they have outgrown her and we have passed on all her books to our little cousins. Thanks for sharing!
Oh, how cute!
Can’t believe it’s a kid who did these… they are sooooo cute!
Love the flip chute. I have never read any Maisy books. I need to remedy that! So glad JDaniel loves school!
