Friday, October 9th

On Friday's we have the privilege of learning Spanish with Senora Kim. The kids are learning body parts in Spanish and sang "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" (in Spanish of course) to help reinforce those concepts.


Some of the center activities today were Pumpkins on Starfall, the #4 for the dot books we've been working on, and rhyming puzzles.

The children also started working on their Jack-o-lantern candles with Ms. Brooke. Thank you parents for remembering to send your child with a small glass jar!

Friday, October 2nd

Yay! It's finally October and starting to feel a little more like Fall. We're excited to incorporate Halloween and all the elements that go along with it into our days at Busy Bee. For example: Today the children learned all about spiders, their body parts, and three different kinds of webs. They also did a little "Ghost Writing" with bleach on black construction paper.

These hats are so cute on the kids. They get to wear them as they help us sing our "Good Morning" song.


During centers, Ms. Amy worked with some of the children on nursery rhymes and on words that rhyme.


At one of our independent centers the children were able to play with leggos and gears.


The children are getting better at using scissors. Today they cut out "spinner" ghosts. When the ghosts are dropped from high places they spin around as they drop to the ground.


Ms. Melissa helped the students trace and write the number 3 for the our dot books. With 3 dots they made spiders.
