Pre-School Three Computers

The three year old children remember their procedures every week--which is to come into the lab and make 2 rows on the floor in the front of the room.  After the roll is called, we watch a short video of their nursery school rhyme for the week.  It is always so fun to see their expressions....even if they have heard the rhyme many times before.  This week our rhyme was 'Hey Dittle Dittle'. Next, we review the letter of the alphabet  for the week which was 'T'. The children will color this letter on their computer and it will be printed.  We worked with two different activities on www.tvokids.com.....Bear's Birthday which reviewed our sorting skills, and Get Growing, which allowed the students to plant, water and watch their seeds grow.....which is what happens in the spring time.

These 2 classes are so much fun.  I am so proud of the way they continue to master their motor skills using the mouse.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Mrs. Speck

Pre-School-2 Year Olds

Spending time with the 2 year old class every week is definitely an adventure.  Energy is everywhere.  While we do work with tablets, the first few minutes are spent with me calling the roll and calling out their names--they love this...then we read a short book followed by the nursery rhyme video they have for the week.  This week we had a short video about 'Left Hand Right Hand'.......Before we go to the table for our tablets, we usually do 'Ring Around the Roses' on the rug.  This releases some energy that has been stored up while sitting for a bit.  The children will then go to their assigned chair at the table for their tablets.  This week Elmo kept the class captivated with alphabet activities.  The children have matured so much this year physically and socially.  I love them dearly.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Mrs. Speck
