4 yr old happenings






The 4 yr olds have been so fun lately. I love seeing them form relationships with their peers and as Jacob says "I love ya man, you're my best bud" It makes me so happy to see them playing well together and just have a good time socially. I have also seen such an improvement in many of their skills since the beginning of the school year. Many of them had a hard time writing their letters and as we have progressed they are getting better and better. I have really enjoyed watching them grow and play. We are getting very excited for our field trip next week and can't wait to see how much fun they will have. Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks of them playing and having fun.

3 year old happenings






I have been having an amazing time teaching your children. Everyday I am with them the more I love being with them. The 3 yr olds are so much fun because they are so willing to learn and get so excited when they accomplish a new task. I have noticed over the last couple weeks that they don't play much together, which is completely normal. Most 3 yr olds are solitary players. I have also noticed that what we will be working a lot on in the coming weeks is solving problems with their peers. I feel like I am always telling one of the kids to not take a toy away and so forth, so typical of the age, but it is fun watching them start the beginnings of conflit resolution. Here are just a few pictures that I have taken while the kids have been playing.

Fun Pictures





Here are just a few pictures of the three year old finger painting. I never realized how big of a hit this was going to be. They loved making such a mess..they actually went through 3 papers because they didn't want to stop!

I have been having so much fun teaching your children this last month. I look forward to teaching them this next month, we have a lot of fun things planned and a fun Halloween party!
