A few of the students even requested to use the kits again during the next center time the next day.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom right now we are gearing up for the holiday season. We will be learning about different ways people celebrate the holidays. We will also be starting to practice and get ready for our young athlete program.

It also helping with their hand-eye coordination and the small muscles in their fingers when they they have to pull the cap off and twist the glue stick up and down to raise and lower the glue. \r\nThe playdough table is one of the most popular centers in our room and the children were extra excited to see that donation box arrive. They have been using rolling pins and cookie cutters to be very creative and alphabet and numbers mats for small group.

I was fortunate enough to receive the shelf before school commenced, ensuring its readiness when my new students arrived. Since I have a fresh batch of students, they are unaware of the previous storage methods. However, I am confident that they greatly benefit from having a shelf with clearly visible storage items that they can access whenever required.\r\n\r\nNext week, we'll kick off our fourth week of school. Time flies when you're having fun! Our class is currently working on our All About Me unit, and next week, we'll delve into discussing our emotions. In the coming weeks, we'll begin learning letters and other early literacy skills. I hope to add a few more literacy items to our classroom to enhance our students' growth and excitement in learning in future projects.
