We've just completed our first week of school and we have a fantastic group of children in the Red Room this year! It was great to laugh, play and learn together! We read books about coming to school for the first time and experiencing new things such as new rooms, new teachers and new friends. We talked about how to make new friends too.
We made some changes within the school building over the summer and we introduced those changes to the children. The third floor has our sensory room complete with ball pits, swings, a Little Tykes climbing house, a mini-trampoline and large balls. We also have a housekeeping area, an art center and a music station for the children to explore. This week we used the sensory room and we will introduce the other areas in the next few weeks. The yellow room at the end of our hall now houses our library, puzzles, games and a listening center.
The children love music and we're already seeing songs that they like as they start to sing them throughout the day. One such favorite is about bubblegum.....if your child throws up their hands and says, "I love it, I love it", please know that's from the bubblegum song!
Barb, Gerry and I make up the staff in the Red Room we're looking forward to a wonderful year!
