Smart Start Week 17

Leah Anderson

There is no mistaking the joy we felt when we welcomed our friends back to Smart Start for Letter J week! We listened to the sound of smooth jazz music as we painted frames to hold our end of year photos and read books together. Friends joined around the sensory tray filled with jungle animals. Some friends watercolored jungle animals, used markers to draw objects starting with the letter j, assembled puzzles of life size animals found in the jungle, or colored pages in our jumbo coloring books.


Our building invitations included tools and toys that could be joined together. Tinker Toys were used to construct towers and other structures. Jumbo blocks made furniture, homes, and buildings and Jenga blocks were out to offer the invitation of play or building. An assortment of jigsaw puzzles served as an opportunity for individual or partner problem solving. Dinosaurs from the Jurassic period and jungle animal hand puppets were also available, extending the invitation of imaginative play.


In Science, we learned about blubber, created a snowstorm in a jar, and made a snowman explode! In Wiggle Room, we did a lot of jumping and did a little Just Dance. On the day we did Just Dance, we joined together to simulate a functioning bicycle. We also expressed ourselves in journal entries. A special visitor also came to see us. Friends spent time getting to know Herman, the pug.


We are enjoying the new toys and tools you so graciously sent in for our classroom. Those will continue to come out in the coming weeks. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness!


We will see you on Tuesday! Have a wonderful weekend! Stay warm!

Ms. Leah, Ms. Jacquita and the Smart Start team
