A "Fairy" Good Day!

The Tooth Fairy came to visit us at Trinity today!  She talked to us about the importance of brushing our teeth twice a day and not eating too much sugar.  We played a game where the sugary, sticky foods would stick to the tooth and the healthy foods would not stick to it. We learned that it's better for our teeth when we eat healthy foods. Thanks for our visit Tooth Fairy!  Please come back real soon!! :)

Roll it, Make it, Stamp it, Write it

We use the Handwriting Without Tears writing program in our preschool.  In Pre K 3, we do a lot of fine motor exercises in our centers to help strengthen our hand muscles.  We use tweezers to grip small pom poms, we use scissors for cutting, we play with play dough, and we color with small crayon rocks.  All of these activities strengthen our muscles for handwriting.  

Last week the students had fun rolling out play dough to form the first letter of their name.  Then they used the wooden piece stamps to stamp out their letter.  And finally they wrote their letter on the magnet board.  Everyone was very proud of themselves!!  I was proud of them too! :)

We also had Carter's birthday last week!  We had fun celebrating with his mommy when she brought cupcakes!

Happy Birthday Carter!!!

Valentine's Day

Here are some pictures from our Valentine's Day celebration!  We enjoyed treats that morning and got to celebrate again that afternoon for Kennan's birthday! The children really enjoyed sitting in a circle on the edge of the carpet and passing out their valentines one by one.  It was such a fun day!!

It was hilarious trying to get this picture!  I think we took 10 of them before we got this one!!  Maybe all the sugar had something to do with it!! :)

Happy Birthday Kennan!!

Grandparents' Day 2013

Mrs. Krista and I LOVED meeting our grandparents last Friday!!  Although we had a few grandparents who couldn't make it, we had some grand-friends come along to join the fun. The children had such a fun time singing for them and showing them around the room.  We love you grandparents and thank you for coming to visit us at Trinity!!!! :)

Happy Mardi Gras!

Here are some pictures from the Pre K 4 Mardi Gras parade last week!  We had such a fun time catching beads and candy.  Happy Mardi Gras!!!  We also had fun celebrating Caitlin's birthday!
