Week 2 at Teddy's Preschool

(that's my hand above...and it looks like he's going to catch up soon!)


Teacher comments for the week of July 2 - 6, 2007
Theme: My Hands

During our review of the "Parts of the Face", Teddy identified all the parts correctly by pointing to the head, nose, mouth, and ears. He was able to follow the head exercises as well. He can look up, look down, turn his head left, right and around :-)

In our "Hair on My Head" Activity, the students were asked to stick pieces of yarn on the pictures of hairless faes. Teddy was able to stick the yarn on top of the head. Good Job, Teddy!

Teaddy enjoyed our different hand activites. He followed the fingerplays - clapping, shaking, rolling, wiggling, rubbing and pounding of hands as he listened to the music. When we sang the "Where is Thumbkin?" song, Teddy tried to put his fingers up one by one. He enjoyed making and kneading the playdough too. Teddy was able to sort the big and small hands by putting the big hands in one box and the small hands in another box. Good job, Teddy! :-)

Teddy's appetite has improved a little although he still cannot finish his snacks. In time, we hope he would be encouraged to eat more as he sees his peers eating heartily.

During Free Choice last Wednesday, Teddy wrote down numbers 1, 6, and 7, and identified these numbers correctly. :-)

Teddy is identifying the letters "a", "b", "c", "d", "s", and "t". During Computer Time, he also identified the animals - cow, horse, fish, and frog correctly.

Teddy has yet to learn to wait for his turn. During Play Time, he grabs toys from his classmates. We explain to him that he needs to wait for his turn. However, despite constant reminders, he still continues to grab. In time, he will learn to develp this social skill. But we would appreciate it if you can help us explain this to him also.

Actually, Teddy knows all the uppercase and lowercase Alphabet already and counts 1 to 20. He even counts backwards...5...4...3...2...G...whoops! Unfortunately, he learned numbers from frequent elevator use...

I'm glad his appetite has improved. Hope he doesn't swipe anymore snacks from his classmates. Below is a picture I took when we attended the Birthday Party of Joshua, Jude's eldest...he ate some of the food but most of it ended on the floor.
