"We are the world! We are the children! We are the ones who make a brighter day!!" These bright and beautiful self-portraits shine in our classroom, just like their true selves shine.
As we get to know each child in our classroom, we celebrate their likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, and individuality as opportunities to grow, learn, and strive for being the best one can be. I love learning about my Bright-Eyed Bears. Each and every one of them offers something special and unique to our classroom family.
Builders!
Artists!
These children are AMAZING!
This week we are focussing on our sense of hearing. The children loved the story The Listening Walk, by Paul Showers. You could have heard a pin drop as they listened to this mesmerizing story. Silently, the class then took a listening walk of our own around campus. We heard many wonderful sounds. The children settled in the garden outside of the Theater to draw pictures and dictate about what they heard along the way of our walk. Finally, they shared their drawings and talked about what they heard as a group, back in the classroom. What a fun discussion we had after getting an earful of excitement in our very own back yard!
Working on the computer was a very exciting new activity for this week. We visited www.starfall.com
to work on the "All About Me" activities. The children really enjoyed learning how to "work" the mouse, and choosing their favorite things to showcase on the screen. I enjoyed the one on one time with each of my buddies! I think they did too! :)
We have so many wonderful goings on in the Bright-Eyed Bear Classroom. Stay Tuned! :)
