Mrs. Brandy Comes Again!

Mrs. Brandy (Parents as Teachers Educator) came to visit us again today. She made sure that it was a day that Zach was out of school, since she hasn't seen him in awhile. The kids always have a blast when she comes and today was no different. She brought different kinds of blocks and some books. Todays lesson was all the ways you can learn while playing with blocks.

Zachery was given some sheets with drawings of block towers and he was asked to build the tower in the picture. He was able to build every single tower with no errors. He also built some towers, cars, and planes. He read some books and traced around blocks to make Mrs. Brandy a picture. He decided to make her a race car!

The girls were asked to build a tower as tall as they could, but they kept knocking each others over. They also read some books and drew some pictures. She looked for basic drawing stages; such as circles, to make sure they are progressing properly. She noticed that they already hold a writing utensil they correct way and can make A's and M's. They are also able to draw circles and ovals. Overall, they are all right on track and she looks forward to their next visit. I recommend anyone who has the time, join the PAT and let them come and play some educational, yet fun games with your kids!
