Schedule TourThe Bluebirds have had their first full week of preschool. They made a fantastic transition into their new learning environment here at Kidspace. We have been learning about and practicing listening skills. We use our ears to listen, our eyes to look at the person talking, our legs are criss-crossed applesauce, our hands are in our lap and our mouths are quiet. We also worked on using good manners at the table and with our peers and teachers. We have memorized a couple of new poems and we’re making many new friends.
Coach Michele also began teaching us ball skills. One of the first skills is learning to call out the person’s name before throwing the ball towards them so they can catch it and not get hurt by the ball.
WHO IS MAT MAN?
Mat Man helps us learn about how to draw the body with correct shapes and placements of the limbs and facial features. We first learned about Mat Man when we read storybooks about him. Then we learned to form him with sticks and shapes, and finally we drew him. We will use Mat Man through out the year to help us learn more about shapes, opposites and continue to sharpen our people drawing skills.
