Oh "S"!

Ahhh....my last time teaching, right??!!  And we had a good time!  I did the letter S....

On Monday:
We didn't get to circle time only cause we hit the ground running!  When everyone arrived - we left shoes and coats on - and took a walk on the "sidewalk" to look for "snake" food.  We walked around my neighborhood and crossed the street a couple of times and talked about crossing "safely".  The kids were all very good about looking both ways and walking.  My mom always used to say - "We walk on sidewalks - not run - they are sidewalks, not sideruns!."  So we talked about walking so we don't trip.  (We read a short book about being safe before we left my house - it talked about tying our shoelaces too!)

Then when we got back I had a lot piece of paper taped to by family room window.  The kids like to draw on the window for some reason - so it gets them to practice. We practiced drawing our "S's".  Then my mom made salt dough and the kids made snakes that we baked. 

We also learned about our "size".  I had the kids lay down and a traced them on butcher paper.  They liked that.  And of course there was play time - the kids were good about cleaning up after play time cause Uncle Talaga was there!  haha....

On Thursday:
Started with circle time.  The kids totally know their days of the week.  We also did colors and each color the kids had to find out who had that color on.  Kuulei had these colorful socks on today so she had all the colors!  Kaiona and Alema were sad because they just had plain white shirts on :). 

Next we made "spaghetti".  Each of the kids added water to the pot.  I let them play while the water boiled and spaghetti cooked.  Then we had "snack" time.  Kailia was my little shadow today, Kuulei played with the boys, and Kaiona was the peacemaker.  The boys were fighting over toys today and Kaiona kept telling them they needed to share, they needed to listen, etc.  She was so cute! 

And, lastly, it was Dr. Seuss's birthday this week so we did a little Dr. Seuss activity.  I had them color cat in the hat hat's and they got to wear them.  They thought being a doctor was so cool.  We read a couple of his books that I had.  We also sang happy birthday to Dr. Seuss and Uncle Talaga who was at my  house again. (We should just enroll him the our preschool! - The kids are so good when he is around!)
