"Me" and Wood Stick Pokey

This morning we met a new friend named "Ricky".  (He's a puppet.)  He's a new student in our class.  We took turns introducing ourselves to him and telling him about school.  Everyone did a good job being a good friend!  During table work we began working on our "me" pictures.  We drew our faces on a big circle to start the project off today.  We'll continue working on them all week.  We enjoy center time this morning in the reading center reading books and having a surprise picnic on the floor in the home center.  This afternoon we began learning about the other wood pieces.  Last week we learned about the "big lines".  This week we'll learn about "little lines", "big curves", and "little curves".
