KINDNESS TO FRIENDS & PETS

Whether we're talking about friends or pets, we discussed being kind the last two weeks. We discovered that in our work or in our play, it is more fun to be with a buddy. In the kindergarten bridge, we have the opportunity to become very close because we are such a small group. The following pictures depict some highlights of us sharing and using manipulatives to develop preschool skills.

So much easier to work this puzzle when you have teamwork!!!!!!!! We're pretty proud of ourselves. Can you tell?

Our first of many imaginary bus rides we'll take this year.

A friendship web.

Stringing our friends' names and decorating our individual names was a fine motor skill.

Our favorite craft of pet week.

No peeking in this game of "Doggie, Doggie, Who Took Your Bone?" Everyone wants a turn at stealing the bone while the rest of the group guesses the culprit.

We created our own pet animals with various shapes.

Patterns and sequence are a big part of this button game.

FANTASTIC FIRST WEEKS!!!!!!!!!1

Our first few weeks of Kindergarten Bridge were FANTASTIC!!!! We learned about ourselves and our families. We haved shared our likes and dislikes and are becoming more familiar with our friends. In the following pictures we show activities we've done on our own and together.

The great days of summer!!!!!!!

Sometimes we just like to do our own thing.

With Bendaroos we can let our imaginations go wild. Here he practices our circle shape for the week.

We can make our own kind of music, but putting them all together is a lot more fun.

We caught our numbers instead of flies with our swatters.

OUR LAST WEEK !!!!!!!!!!

Our last blog includes activities from our last week of school. We didn't get to visit the farm, but we talked and dicussed farm animals, and how they were different than zoo and jungle animals. Our trip to PuzzleFun Dome was hilarious and a first experience for many of us. Graduation night was filled with excitment and anticipation of new beginnings in the fall. I would like to thank our wonderful parents and grandparents for making this such a positive year for the kinder prep students. They have exceeded my expectations in every aspect of learning. I'm very proud of them and I know you are too. I wish my darlings and their families a safe and fun filled summer. Please keep in touch with us at LAP. We care.

The Tootie Tot was our very favorite.

The pictures below show all our happy families having fun at PuzzleFun Dome the day our field trip got rained out. By the smiles, I would say everybody had a blast.

The farm was our theme the last week of school. Ms Angela gave us capsules and we put them in water. We guessed what animal our sponge would become.

Each child was assigned to be part of a team to share the responsibility of watching the sponge.

The hardest direction was to watch and wait, but do not touch.

This is one of the finished products of their vigilant watch.

Quite a few shows were performed at our puppet theater.
