Find the Worm

Video #4

Mrs. Caroline came up with this adorable Apple with a Worm craft.

I just happened to catch Ava when she was trying to catch the worm (a.k.a Mrs. Patricia's finger)!

Hope you enjoy!

Ok, so I admit it... One reason I am a preschool teacher is that I love to make crafts. That became evident when we got a little carried away and made nine Thanksgiving projects. I had found a template for a cute Pilgrim mask and quickly decided it was a little too difficult for two year olds to make so I made everyone's mask for them. These pictures make me laugh. That probably makes me weird. But that's ok, a person probably has to be a little weird to teach preschool too. :)

Such Determination

Ahhh, to be two again! I love the attention to the task at hand!

This is the class making their Native American headdress for the Thanksgiving performance.

Sharing

I realized today that I saved the last three video posts as drafts on accidents...so here's video #3

How often do you see an ENTIRE class of twos year olds patiently waiting their turn to share ONE car?

Let me tell you, its EXTREMELY rare!

That is the exact reason I raced to my car to grab my camera after I realized this "sharing circle" would actually last longer than 30 secs.

*Disclaimer: Please ignore my talking! :-)*

They sat in this circle and passed the car to each other for nearly 10 minutes.

Those of you who know this class (or any two year old for that matter), knows that this is an AMAZING feat!

What can I say? We have THE BEST CLASS EVER!

What's Your Name? (Part 1)

Day 2 of "A Video A Day" Week. ENJOY!

On this day, we were playing in the big room.

Mrs. Patricia asked Coleman what his name was and this was his answer....

And for the record, we didn't teach him that and he is NOT "b-a-d, bad"!

I'm a Big Kid....

I have a few really cute videos that I've taken of the kids...here's the first one!

This is a song that Mrs. Emmy made up...we sometimes sing it in the morning.

The words go...

I'm a big kid,

And I don't cry.

I play with my toys,

And the day flies by!

Needless to say...I'll be posting a video a day for the rest of this week!

Finally back...

First I want to start out by apologizing for not posting in forever...I've had several technical difficulties.

Now, on to a fun Fall post.

But before I move onto other pictures, I first want to introduce everyone to our new friend Emily. She joined our class last week & we love having her in our class!
