Today Miss Diane opened her new hair salon. We will spend the next few weeks learning all kinds of new words and concepts related to hair care such as: long, short, straight, curly, brush, comb, cut, shampoo, braid, bald, beard, mustache, rinse, mirror, and shave. If you are looking for a fun way to follow up with some of these concepts at home, you can download the Toca Hair Salon 2 onto your phone for $2.99.

Today after books and puzzles we did a sequencing activity with Miss Julie. First, we listened to a story about a girl getting her hair cut.  Then Miss Julie mixed up the cards and we had to put them back in order.

 

 

 

The morning class sang more songs about body parts and things that our hands can do. Did you know that hands can be creepy like spiders and wavy like the ocean?

 

Then it was center time.  We practiced cutting with scissors. It is fun to cut playdough into pieces and it lets us practice holding the scissors properly. We have a little rhyme to help us remember how to hold our scissors:

Thumb in the thumb hole

Fingers all together

Thumb goes up

Cut, cut, cut!

 

The morning class also worked on an AB pattern using boy and girl shapes and then Miss Bobbi helped us trace our bodies on a big sheet of paper.

 

The afternoon class got a special treat today. After five long years of waiting, the preschool playground equipment was finally moved from CDO's north campus to Copper Creek (a big thank you to the parents who helped make this happen). So we went out and PLAYED! We went up and down stairs, through tunnels, and down slides.

 

Snack today was goldfish crackers and raisins.
