As the second week of school passes by, 3B class is really settling in and comfortably exploring. This week we continued talking about ways of keeping the room safe and fun for everyone.
The children were introduced to a new routine and task- the sign in book. Everyone seems to be very excited by it. This activity helps the children with theirs and their peers’ names/letter recognition as well as developing their fine motor skills. Every morning, they eagerly signed in throughout the week.
As the children explored different art mediums, they were also introduced to the idea of drawing self-portraits. These self-portraits provide us with a special glimpse into how the children view themselves in the world. It is our hope to build a community of unique individuals who will learn to soar , succeed and shine together!
We went for our first walk. It was an important practice of the safety rules that we all agreed to follow!
Most importantly, we continue building our community. This week we invited children’s families into our room by displaying the photographs. This gave the children an opportunity to talk and share about their loved ones. And they did so verbally and through drawings.
Some quotes:
Alisha (while painting a picture of her family):
“Do you want to know my dad’s name? It is Karthik! I am painting my dad like my mom. My mom has black hair.”
Romeo (overhearing Alisha):
“ I have a family. My daddy, Maya-Linn and Sophia and my mommy.”
