The First Days . . .

Have you heard these words ? . . . . "We haven't done anything yet!" "When are we going to start working?" "We haven't done paper work yet!" If only they knew all that they've been learning! We've learned how to sit in "Learning Position".
We've been working our little finger muscles.
We're enjoying recess!

We're learning how to play with one another. (Did I mention we have lots of boys in our class?)
We're building Iron Man. And using our finger muscles.
"Learning Position" ready to learn!
Playing with new friends at recess . . .
How to stand in a line . . .

Manipulating shapes (using our finger muscles) . . .
How to share . . .
Using our finger muscles . . .
Thank you for the playdough!
How to wait our turn . . .


We used pushpins to trace our names. Again, we are using our finger muscles.









Tracing is great for fine motor skills. Why do we need to build our finger muscles?
"So we can be good writers!"

And a little glimpse into my world this weekend . . . a freshly moisturized couch.
