All About Me Week 1I always forget what a roller coast ride it is the first few weeks of school and this year was no exception.

We practiced making facial features with draw and wipe mats. Children played with lakeshore kids sorting and counting. Looking to see which group had more and less. As they were working with them some patterns even emerged. All About Me Week One PlansHere's what we worked on...
