Welcome to Preschool!

Welcome to Preschool! 
I've been anticipating the first week of school since school ended last May and I wasn't disappointed with how wonderful it was.  I've got a great group of children here at Butterflies & Bullfrogs!  

The purpose of this blog is for you to have a glimpse (albeit small) into the preschool day of your child. I keep the camera handy, but photographing all that happens is just impossible.  I should also note as I do every year, that I'm not a great photographer (yet!) and your children are much cuter than these photos show.

 Welcome Thomas!
 Welcome Gideon!
 Welcome Camden!
 Welcome Kooper!
 Welcome Kara! (I promise she did smile during preschool)
 Welcome Avah!
 The group!
Gideon running so fast during our outdoor time.  The boys all wanted to have an Olympics race.
 Kara working with the others to build a castle.
 Camden getting into his finger painting.
 After I measured the children I cut string according to their height and they had to find things in the room that were the same height. Avah discovered she is actually taller than the kitchen now.
 Thomas working to build magnificent buildings with blocks.
 Camden sorting out all the orange blocks first.
 The children working on creating pictures with various shapes. They wanted to do every picture I have. Guess we'll have to pull this out again soon.
 Avah & Gideon quietly looking at books after snack time (while I wipe off the table).
Camden and his apple picture.

Not pictured is the children taste testing a variety of apples, matching uppercase to lowercase letters from the apple tree, singing lots of songs, reading some great books- including The Kissing Hand  (you must read that to your child before they go off the school), picking numbered apples and jumping that many times, learning our zoo phonics, planting apple seeds from the apples we tasted, learning all about each other and having a very fun week.  Thank you parents for sharing your happy, eager to learn, cooperative children with me.
