Fall has come and weather is changing and so are your children.  They are learning more and more everyday.  

Fire Truck Day

Thanks you so much for sending in your fire trucks. We had a blast saving the world from fires.

Sponge lessons  and Scooping lessons 

Little hands need to develop their little muscles so why not make it a little fun!   Squeezing sponges and using a garlic press to get all the water out will help develop those muscles. Hand eye coordination is also developing at this time.  Scooping spoon lessons will help in there development.

Little leaves are falling gently down

We a great time try to catch leaves one day during our out side play.  Next week we will be doing a fall walk around the school to collect leaves for an art project.

September 30 - October 4

It has been so amazing to see the changes in your children in just a few weeks!  We are really starting to work well in small and in large group.  The are working together doing lessons. They are following directions better.   It is wonderful to watch their minds solves problems and explore the work around them!

Who is Toby?

He is our Friendly talking Toucan!  He sings to us. He calls out our names in the morning. And he will even eat snack with us sometimes.

New Rug

Our new rug arrived this Thursday and you would have thought it was Christmas!  They love it.  They were rolling on it, jumping up and down on it, someone even tried to hug it!

Finger play

To help the children with their sign language and fine motor skills we use finger puppets.  They had to try and make each finger "dance."  It's not as easy as you may think.  

Pumpkin Time

We painted pumpkins, we cleaned pumpkins, and were turned them into "pumpkin" heads.

Can't wait until later this month when we will be doing some pumpkin tasting.

Work time

Can you see their minds working?  They are working together to explore and learn.  They are so happy when they can figure things out all by themselves or with a friend.

Magnet Science

How does it do that Ms. Kerno?  Can I try Ms. Kerno? I Love hearing those questions!

Mystery Box

You can't see it, you can't hear it, or even smell it, you have to use your little hands and minds to figure out what your holding in the box.

Walking in a line

We can do it, well almost.... but we are going to keep try! Just don't look at the line one the floor. Ha ha 

Garden Time

We have loved exploring our Holy Child gardens.  Look we have yummy tomatoes.  Sorry if your children are coming home smelling like basil.  We like rubbing it between our hands and smelling it. I will try and get pictures next time.

Dancing Milk Science

One bowl of milk, a few drops of food color, and Q-tip dipped in dish soap and you to can make milk dance.

We had so much fun reading and reenacting Harold and the Purple Crayon together.  It is a story young or old (and in between)  can enjoy.

Thank you, thank you Bernie for all you do!  You make our school "work."
