Getting to know each other ... and the alphabet

A lot of our work at the beginning of the year centers around getting to know each other; after all, we'll be spending a lot of time together this year! We play a lot of name games so the students can learn each other's names, and we use this as a chance to incorporate Bible lessons on creation: God made each of us special, just as He made this entire wonderful world!

Say cheese!!!

One of our devotional books ends with each of the students hugging a friend; it's always so sweet!

We also began the alphabet ... letter A, of course! Ripping paper into small pieces is great for building their finger muscles, which in turn helps with fine motor skills.

Self portraits ... as done by three-year-olds! :)

Pictures galore!

Since Mrs. LeeAnne has been sidelined with the shingles virus, she's posting these photos from home. Here are some pictures from our first full week of school:

As you can see, we're already having so much fun!

First Friday

We had a bigger group for Friday's phase-in day, but everyone did great, and I think for the first time ever, we had no tears at all! Here are some pictures from the day:

Snack time! 

Grapes and goldfish ... yum!

As you can see, we like to take photos in K3!

These cuties played great together!

Fun in the outdoor school house!

Recess is always one of our favorite times of the day!

These two boys are cousins, and they are SO cute together!

We love this pretty girl already!

Phase-in photos

Here are some pictures of our first day of phase-in. We had some familiar faces and some new friends, and everyone did GREAT together!

I think this little cutie had a fun day!

Such a sweet boy!

This girl is fearless! 

Peek-a-boo on the playground!

Snack time!

Mrs. Connie reads a story about the first day of school.

More phase-in pictures coming on Friday! It's going to be a great year!

We can't wait!!

Mrs. Connie and Mrs. LeeAnne can't wait to welcome all of our new students! We hope to see you tonight at Registration, and on Wednesday and Friday at phase-in! :)
