Community Helpers

 

 

Thank you to all of the community helpers that came to speak to our class. We learned about several different jobs people do to benefit our community.

 

 

 

              

Exploring with our 5 Senses



Using our ears to hear what is happening outside.



Guessing Jello flavors by using our sense of smell.

 

                            

 

                    



Making goo!



 







    

Not everyone liked the feeling of the goo!





 



Making music with our hands and listening with our ears.





Taste testing different kinds of apples.



 

 

 

Pets

The week we spent learning about how to care for pets was a busy one! Students spent time in the dramatic play area, which was transformed into a vet's office. During centers, they worked on matching dogs to their dog house, dotting the Dalmatian and filling bowls with they correct amount of play dough dog food. They even played pet charades!




 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vince, Our Adopted Seminarian

On Friday, we emailed our adopted seminarian Vince Fernandez, who is currently studying in Rome. I attended Bishop Kelley with Vince, and was so excited to tell the class about him! We discussed what a seminarian is and how we can help him on his journey to the priesthood, by praying for him. Several students said they wanted to become priests someday! Please join us in praying for Vince throughout the year.

Numbers and Colors

This week we are getting better at recognizing numbers and colors as we work on our fine motor skills. We are trying to build up our finger muscles so we can hold our crayons the right way.
