Getting Started & Blue Week!

Getting Started describes the past two days perfectly!  

As the photos illustrate, the children have begun to 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"!  

Beginning to make 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.  At Story Time, Dora and Azul, the Blue Bird came for a visit.  Additionally, we read "Llama Llama Misses Mama" by Anna Dewdney and "Are You My Mother" by P. D. Eastman!

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! See you next Week!

Have a fun and restful weekend!
