I'm Special, I'm a V.I.P.!

Daily Question:  Do you have a talent? Thank you, parents, for helping your students to sign in.  It is nice to know where each student is beginning with their name writing. By consistently helping your student sign in, you set up a routine.

Toys:  Mega Bloks and Raceway, Rose Petal Cottage, and our Cars and Traffic Rug.  We enjoyed getting to know new friends and faces.  

  Friends had fun building and rebuilding tracks to race cars down.

Snack Time:  Cheese cubes and Blueberry Bars
During Snacks we listened to If I Obey, I'll Be Happy All Day.


Welcome Dade to our class! (Dade was at a family funeral on Monday and Tuesday.  We are so glad he could join us today.)

Circle Time:  We enjoyed singing our ABC song.  We also read some special stories and learned about obedience, reviewed rules for our new class member, and began our lesson on "I'm Special!"  We listened and sang along to Janeen Brady's song, I'm a V.I.P and talked about what it means to be a Very Important Person in our family, preschool, and community.  

Favorite Quotes:  
Is it okay to be different?  NO!  the students chorused.  Yes, each one of us is different!  Even if some of us look alike, each person has his/her different likes and special talents.

During the VIP song, one little boy said to me,"Does that mean that everyone is important, teacher?  That I'm important?!" Yes!

Recess:  Today the children decided to fly to Alaska and see some salmon, Polar Bears, ice capped mountains, reindeer and then return and fly to "the city."

Look and See what I did this Summer: Thank you parents for sending in the photos of what your students did, ate, saw, and visited this Summer.  (This is a great way for children to practice story telling, memory skills, and oral language skills.)
