Updates from Teacher Deborah (Week 3)
Dear Mommy and Daddy,
I had a fun week with lots of different activities. I celebrated my friend, Iman’s birthday from toddlers’ class. We put on our favorite masks and party hats as we always do when we go to a party. We played a balloon that was going up in the air and touched the ceiling; we are so happy to receive a goody bag from Iman.
I liked to sing the song, “Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun, please shine down on me, Mr. Sun, Sun, please come out and play with me.” when we are outdoor at the playground. Teacher Deborah pointed out to us, “Look, your shadow is following you. I liked to chase after my own shadow and stepped on the shadows as they moved in front of us. When teacher Deborah rolled the Hula Loops like a wheel, I loved to chase after it and catch it before it fell to the ground.
Frederick, my friend, shared his toy trains with us. I watched the train moving along the track; it passed through a bridge, then, through a tunnel, and finally arrived at a train station. I loved to sing this song, “Down by the station, early in the morning, sees the puffer bellies all in a row...” Teacher Deborah read for us a story book about “Thomas and His friends”. We loved it so much and one boy said, “Can you read again?”
We had a fun cooking lesson with teacher Deborah. We made a long train with many coaches and wheels. Teacher Deborah gave me a big slice of bread and I painted my coach with my favorite jam. Our coaches have many colors. Finally, teacher Deborah gave us some round crackers and we placed many wheels on the coaches. We are so happy to see our long train when it was done. I liked the part when teacher Deborah put my own coach and wheels on a plate; “It’s yummy!”
Teacher Deborah brought us to a garden. We spotted many snails in the garden especially after the rain; some were hanging under the leaves and some were climbing up the stem. We saw many snail shells lying on the ground but they were not moving. So we picked them up one by one and placed them in a little basket. Teacher Deborah put them in a bucket of water and we saw them floating up on the water but we didn’t find any snail!
