Today at school, we finally got our class fish! We voted on names and ended with Coco, Baby Poncho, and Sonny! We also discussed how to take care of our fish. What an exciting day!

We’ve been reading the story “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” and talking about letters all week! To celebrate “Fun Friday” today, we made our own Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree hats!

To celebrate Mexican Independence Day, we did a Jarritos taste test! Everybody got to try the red and orange flavors of Jarritos, and then vote for which one they liked best. It was a close race, but orange was the winner for our class!!

Soon after our taste test, we went over to Ms. Sarah and Ms. Rosie’s class to watch a performance by Ballet Folklorico de Los Angeles. We danced along and played musical instruments! What a fun celebration.

Today at school, we dot stamped our names! This will help us learn to write and recognize our names.

To practice recognizing and writing the first letter of our names, we used stickers to make our beginning initial! This was also some great fine-motor practice.

To practice name recognition and writing our names, we traced our names using water color paint! They turned out great.

Father Dan visited today and gave a special blessing for our classroom, teachers, and students!

This week, we will be reading the classic story Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and learning about the letters in our names! Today, we discussed the first letters of our names, and then decorated our first initials!

Since we are off from school on Monday for Labor Day, today at school, we learned about what Labor Day is! We learned about different workers in our community, and how we take a day off from school/work to thank them. We then colored a “Community Workers” coloring page, and also wrote/drew about what we want to be when we grow up! The future is so bright for these kiddos. :)

Today in Preschool, we used glue for the first time! We made some pineapple crafts to decorate our classroom with. We talked about how to use glue, by saying “Dot, dot, not a lot!” Everyone did an amazing job.
