We are starting to get into a routine here in our classroom. We had some new friends join us this week, and we will have most of our class starting next week! The transition to the three's classroom always brings changes...one of the big ones that we introduced this week is Center Time, Center time is a big part of our daily morning routine in the three year old room. Centers are typically areas within the classroom where the children will learn by playing and engaging in activities that revolve around our theme of the week. This is when we will spend focused time working on important 3 year old skills: letter and number recognition, pre-math skills such as 1 to 1 correspondence, sorting, subitizing with 5 and 10 frames, and fine motor work such as cutting, stringing beads, using tweezers and making play dough shapes. Before we start our "real work" we need to get the children used to moving from center to center, Some of our centers this week included color sorting , play dough, stringing beads and playing with our new magnatiles. Next week we will continue to learn our new routines, as well as participating in our very first theme of the class....COLORS! Art is typically accomplished during our "Center Time". This week we painted with dot markers and painted at the easel...next week we will be making some decorations for our room! Gentle Reminders:
