Welcome to kindergarten! We had so much fun playing and getting to know each other today. We sang several songs, played games, and learned about our new classroom.
This morning we signed in and decorated our name tags. We learned the names of lots of new friends today!
We brainstormed ways to keep each other safe on the playground. Then we spent time playing with our new friends. We noticed that the vegetables and flowers we planted last year grew very tall over the summer!
During classroom centers we explored using different materials and supplies. We were also working on our social skills and negotiation strategies.
We sang new songs like “Shake Your Sillies Out”, “I’m a Writer Chicka Boom”, and “The Whale Song”.
This afternoon we visited the atelier and the creative play room. We engineered magnet structures and created sculptures out of playdough.
