Girls who like to write….in cursive……of their own choosing. It’s true. Oh, and did I mention that they are only four?
A couple of the girls have been working on their /at/ word lists (bat, cat, fat, etc.) They suddenly realized that they could write the names of their friends. All at once they ran to the cubby area to figure out what letters came first.
Their excitement was so contagious that another friend came over to give some spelling guidance.
Celery cutting was such a tremendous success and since the girls were able to complete the steps easily I introduced carrot peeling. This work has an additional level of difficulty because it introduces peeling before chopping. There were many special points of interest in this work: a carrot pitcher, an orange ceramic basket holding the carrots, and the bird peeler.
This work was just as popular on it’s first day as the celery work was. Girls lined up and waited patiently for their friend to finish.
The best part is watching the girls offer their prepared food to each other. It is such a wonderful opportunity for practicing grace and courtesy. It was absolute magic! 12 girls anxious to eat celery. Really. I finally assembled all of the coordinating materials for celery cutting and demonstrated it to the girls today. Needless to say, they all lined up to do it. Baila was first to try it out and she did a great job:
For the rest of the week, celery cutting was a big hit. Girls could be heard munching celery quite often!
Our last day of school got started with class photos. I took the girls down to the studio in the basement and posed them in front of our “school picture” backdrop. The girls all did a really great job (although Baila gave a very unusual smile for some reason!)
After our short performance (which I missed taking any pictures of!), we had a very yummy pizza party with the Mommies and siblings. Thank you Mrs. Hamburger and Mrs. Viders, for sponsoring the delicious food!
The two graduating girls received a large, framed collection of pictures from the year – you can see them hanging on the wall below:
All in all, it was a wonderful last day of school! |
