A Week in Photos (July 8-12)

Here are the photos from last week. You can see the rest in the JULY PHOTO ALBUM.

Theme Class

This week, we had fun camping again! First we went to the blue river and talked about what we can see.

After we built our tent, we got to eat our favorite marshmallows!

Teacher Coco spent a few days to read a storybook that talked all about animals. 

Phonics Class

 Melody and I helped Yumi practice her ABC's. Let's put them in order!

 

We played ABC bingo to recognize letters.

Art Class

We used the little leaves and flowers that we picked ourselves, and made a nature sun catcher.

Melody brought beautiful flowers from her home.

Everyone is arranging their leaves with tissue paper to create a beautiful nature scene.

When we finish, then we can put the sun catcher in the laiminating machine to make it hot and stick together.

 Melody and Yumi are curious. But be careful, don't touch, it is hot!

Graduation Rehearsals

Here are some videos from our graduation rehearsals! I took these videos so Michelle can still watch them at home for practicing. But I also want to show Mommy and Daddy how great everyone is doing. In the song videos, I am standing very far away and encouraged students to sing loudly so the audience can hear. I think Watermelon Class did a very good job!!! Everyone is singing so loudly!!!!! ^___^

A Week in Photos (July 1-5)

Here are the photos from last week. You can see the rest in the JULY PHOTO ALBUM.

New Friend

This week, we welcomed a new friend to Watermelon Class: Yumi! 

 She was able to learn "If You're Happy and You Know It" very quickly, and can perform graduation with us  ^_^

 Yumi likes to play games with us  ^___^

Theme Class

 This week, we began our new theme for this month: Summer Camping! We spent a lot of time talking about picnics.

What we have to do first is lay out the picnic mat so we have a clean place to sit outside. 

And then we can share our picnic foods. What food do you like to eat?

 Because it is cold outside, we learned how to build a campfire to stay warm!

Here is another creative campfire. We used donuts to represent the stones that we put around to protect ourselves from the fire.

 And our favorite part of camping is EATING MARSHMALLOWS!!! Yummy!!

Art Class

 We used leaves to make stamps! First, you paint on the leaf. And then you turn it around and put it on the paper to see the beautiful colors and patterns from the leaf. Wonderful!

Toys Show and Tell

4th of  July

 Teacher Coco performed a wonderful and funny puppet show! She taught us some things we can eat or see on America's birthday ^____^

 We played a fun game called "Pin the Stripe on the Flag". Students had to wear blindfold and can not see!!

Birthday Party

 Happy birthday Teacher Micky and Teacher Coco!

 We all celebrated, sang songs, and ate yummy cake together ^__^
