For the past couple of days, we've had some fun classes with our 2s. Yesterday was our "Bring-a-Friend Day" - the first we've ever tried - in our night class. We told our parents that they could bring another parent, a grandparent, a sibling, or a friend with their 2 and we had such an amazing response! We had 31 people show up, and that's not including me or Katie (my co-teacher)!
You can kind of tell in this picture how full our classroom was last night. Try reading a story to 16 little ones. It's not easy and I'm not sure how much they actually listened, but I gave it my best shot! ;-)
We read "Glad Monster, Sad Monster" and let the kids try out 6 different centers, between 2 different rooms. They got to paint the letter "M" for "Monster" and then make this monster pictures. I was totally covered with paint and glue by the time the night ended and most of it I collected from this center above.
They could also make felt monster faces, play a monster matching game, and play in noodles in our Science Center. Here they made monster stick puppets.
Today, we had one of the other classes join us. The 4s class from downstairs came up and paired off with our 2s to hear the story and make their projects. We did this last year and it was lots of fun! It was a little more chaotic this year, but they all seemed to have a really fun time together. We did the same story and the same projects as the night before. You can see how crowded the class was today! :-)
I loved this center, because everyone made a totally unique monster. Look at all the eyeballs one of our 2s ended up using on his monster. Hilarious!
It's fun to see how much bigger the 4s are compared to the 2s. Yet, they work so nicely together. Our little ones are growing up and soon we'll be at the end of the school year and they will be preschool-ready! What a joy and a blessing it is to teach them. :-)
