Getting Started!

Getting Started describes the past two days perfectly!  As the photos illustrate, the children have already engaged in a myriad of activities during our brief time together! 

More importantly for the children, these days were about getting to know, and engage at their "New School"! 

 Making a transfer of trust from home to school.

Exploring their new school inside and outside and beginning to claim it as their own.

It was also about beginning to learn routines, make transitions, engage in new and fun activities, thus discovering that Parker School is a fun and exciting place! 

Additionally, we spent some time talking about the color Blue/Azul!  The Water Table was filled with fish swimming in "Blue Water" and Blue was featured at the Art Table, as we glued and painted.

At Story Time, Dora and Azul the Blue Bird came for a visit.  

Additionally, we read about "The Blue Balloon" and "Llama Llama Missing Mama"!

Acclamation to the classroom environment is a process that will occur over the next several weeks, and we are off to a good start!   We are well on our way to an exciting year filled with learning, growth and fun! 

Have a fun and restful weekend!
