| We had a ball! That’s right! We enjoyed balls; different types of balls – small, big, soft, colored, bouncy, rolly, and more. We made soccer balls and learned how to make a goal! Kicking our soccer ball with our feet is so much fun! The friends also enjoyed talking about baseball and how to catch the ball. We also sang, “Take me out to the ball game”. Basketball was fun. We liked shooting hoops and tossing the balls around our class and chasing them! The children also still enjoy playing with the balls through August; sharing, catching, and tossing. Great movement skills!
We also talked about the color yellow and made ducks. The little ones sang duck songs, played “Duck, Duck Goose” outside, and waddled like them, too.
For our five senses, we enjoyed making lemon juice and tasting something sour and sweet. We also made lemon trees, smelled funny smells like pepper and cinnamon, and smelled baby powder.
The friends made an “eye collage” which is what we talked about at group time, “eyes on me”!
Our class explored making yellow water in big bottles. “Watch the color appear in a bottle.” Along with the color yellow, we played a search game for yellow things in our class – who is wearing yellow today? That was fun! We finished up the month with the letters and numbers by counting our chairs and finding the letters.
In September, we will be working on “Who am I”? We will be learning our first and last names, how tall I am, who is a boy, who is a girl, and how big are my feet? What do I like the most in class by making charts and small groups.
We will also talk about my friends. Who is your friend?
Our annual Trike-a-thon will be Sept. 16 and 17. Please bring your bikes and helmets! This is always a blast and a very worthwhile cause! School pictures will also be taken this month on Sept. 29! Dress your best! The teachers will be more than happy to change your child’s dress clothing back into their play ones.
