Shapes- A Review

We started off  the week with a fun review of shapes.  Nursery 1 friends collected items from around the classroom that had a basic shape form.  We found:

A RECTANGLE tissue box

A CIRCLE sprinkles container

A CIRCLE wheel

A SQUARE tin pan

A TRIANGLE piece of pizza

We also made exciting shapes collages.

Leah, Mark and Benjamin are choosing shapes for their collage

Leah, Tova Leah and Mark are putting the finishing touches to their shapes masterpieces!

Brandon figured out how to peel the stickers off of the sheet! Good work Brandon!

Our friends also had fun playing Playful Patterns, a Shapes game that focuses on developing good comprehension of basic shapes, problem solving skills, and creativity.

Our Families

 Our class continued our unit "ALL ABOUT ME". We started to learn about our families. We know that every one of us has a family that is special.

Some of our friends have sisters or brothers or both!

We all have a Mom, Dad, Grandparents etc...

The children learned that some families are big and some families are small.

We even learned a rhyme:

Some families are big,

Some families are small,

But I love my family best of all! 

We hung pictures of our families in the kitchen center for all of our friends to see.

Our friends had lots of fun drawing our own pictures of our families!

Busy drawing our families!

ABC'S

Nursery 1 friends were introduced to some letters of the English Alphabet this week.  We had lots of fun exploring and tracing our favorite letters.

Naomi, Tova Leah and Leah are tracing letters with Blue Putty.

Naomi is working hard to shape the Putty onto the letter A! Good Job!

Tova Leah and Leah are having a blast with their letters!

Wow! we made the letter B!

Leah made this letter E perfectly.  Good Job Leah, it was also your first time! Hurray for you!

We also had lots of fun building, playing and imagining!
