During the Mother's Day celebration week we celebrated our Moms and let them know how much we love and appreciate them! The children were finally able to show their mom all of the wonderful projects they have been working so hard on. It was beautiful to see the pride on the children's faces and the joy on the moms'!
Thank you to all of the moms (dads and grandmas too) who were able to join us for coffee and treats in the mornings. It was nice to be able to sit and chat with each other while the children talked about school or played near by.
It's small events like this that help to create a happy school community and foster a connection between home and school. Luckily we have two more opportunities to celebrate coming up, Father's Day and preschool graduation!
Along with focusing on numbers lately, the children have been choosing activities that require fine motor skills. Many of the projects that were made for the moms used a lot of fine motor skills, such as making tissue paper flowers.
Teacher Rashida put perfume on the flowers so P tested it out!
The children did a lot of writing and drawing on the Mother's Day banner.
Fine motor skills were on display in many other ways too, such as C helping out friends with shoelaces and buttons.
K using fine motor skills in building with dominoes...
J showing his understanding of patterns, symmetry, and shapes while using a great deal of fine motor skills too!
And here's an example of D, W, G and L working together to build a very intricate spaceship. They needed very steady hands and a lot of patience to complete this beautiful piece. Well done!
Thank you for taking time out of your busy mornings to spend some time with us in the classroom, and as always, thank you for sharing your children with us!
Love and good things, Teacher Aimee, Teacher Rashida,
and Teacher Thaovy
