2nd Day of Joy School

We had another successful day of Joy School... I have to say I had so much fun teaching this week. The kids are at such a cute age and say such funny things. I was impressed to hear that Ava's favorite food is pineapple and Annie's favorite food is corn. Ashton said soup, and for the life of me I can't remember what Gavin told me (Sorry!!). When I asked Calvin, he said M&M's--not the healthiest food. Anyway, I promise pictures next time.

Here are the highlights:

*Ashton was our helper.
*To help us get ready for the prayer we learned a rhyme called "Here's a bunny."
*Joy Bear came back to visit, this time he was hiding in the room and they had to find him. He was very interested in their favorite color.
*We learned the names of each of our fingers (Thumbkin, Pointer, Tall Man, Lazy Man, and Pinky). Then we sang the Thumbkin song using all the fingers.
*We learned what fingers we use to hold scissors and how to carefully use them.
*We reviewed the rules and played a review game using a ball.
*We read a book called The Gingerbread Man while we ate popsicles--don't worry they were sugar free :)
*The kids really liked the "Oh Boy, I've got Joy" song and a song called "Pokey Bear"--I will include this CD in the box so you can use it if you want to. I'll include a copy of the actions that go with it.

Thanks moms for letting me spend a few days with your sweet kids.

  1. Ava was so excited about the scissors and has been practicing at home since. we have scraps of little papers everywhere. I love it! Now I need to have her glue them to a sheet of paper for leaf/paper art or something. She also told me about the Popsicle and how it was the same one on her pajama's it's so fun to hear her point of view of preschool. thanks for a fun first week!!!
