A great big welcome to our new students and welcome back to our returning students. It's so nice to see everybody after our long break. I am thrilled that the kids are so excited to be back at Funtime - their enthusiasm is catching!
This week we talked about Martin Luther King Jr. We discussed how Dr. King wanted to live in a world where everybody was friends. With the pre-k kids, we talked about how kids with dark colored skin and kids with light or white colored skin didn't even go to the same schools, ride the same bus or use the same drinking fountain. But today, because Dr. King believed it could happen and started the ball rolling, kids with all different colors of skin all go to the same school. With the younger kids, we talked about friendship and how in our class we are all friends. For craft we glued 2 different colored hands onto a piece of paper with a quote from Dr. King.
The pre-k class practiced writing the letter Ll.
Thursday and Friday are always gym days. The kids look forward to it all week. On Thursday the 9am class (caterpillars) played with the big fit balls, they had fun bouncing, kicking and rolling off of the balls. The 10:15am class (butterflies) started their gym time by playing with the balls and then Ms. Sedeane taught them a couple of new, fun games.
On Friday, the pre-k kids learned several new games from Ms. Sedeane. They were having so much fun they didn't even notice when the parents started arriving. When we got back to class to sing our goodbye song, they were all talking about how sweaty & tired they were. Success!
Next week our theme is Chinese New Year.
