Hello Week 6!

 Happy Monday Pine Family! Welcome to week 6 and the beautiful Fall Season! This week are focusing on some new magic words, skills, and activities. We will be practicing our words YOUR TURN and MY TURN, the words YOU and ME, and re-visiting our good question word WHO? To support this we will have lots of fun activities. One of our invitations at centers was playing a game with farm animals. We had to wait for our turn and pass it to another friend for a turn. When it was our turn we pulled out an animal and had to match it to the correct color. At our music and movement time on the carpet we were introduced to some musical instruments and used the words MY TURN to get to explore the sounds of the instruments. Another invitation at centers was the sensory table. We had different colored items that friends could help sort by matching the color of the item to the correct colored cup. To strengthen our fine motor skills we tried using tongs/tweezers/pinchers to pick up the items. We also engaged friends in conversations about what the items felt like, noticing different sizes, etc. For our third invitation, we had cars! The challenge today was to park the cars in the garage that they matched. Some friends worked on matching colors and others worked on matching letters. 

Another important event for us today was our severe weather drill. We were introduced to our safe place to go and how to keep our body safe by tucking and covering and staying quiet like a little mouse. We are so proud of how brave everyone was and how well they were able to follow directions!
