Handwriting Corner
From the time children learn to grasp, to hold, or to show their age, they are constantly using their “ten little fingers”! We strengthen and develop children’s fingers by playing with toys they can manipulate, using play dough or climbing outside on playground equipment. Finger strength and coordination is critical to handwriting skill. Who remembers the “Ten Little Fingers” finger play from our “All About Me” program at the beginning of the school year?

Goodnight Memphis!
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" That is the question we have been asking the students at Woodland in PK. We have some aspiring firefighters, police officers, princesses, mommies, teachers, ninjas, spidermen, and astronauts. We said, "Goodnight Memphis" today as we close this unit and open another one. The children are continuing to expand their knowledge of where they belong and how they fit into this wonderful world.
Trolley Tour of Memphis!
Thank you for making it out on a Saturday morning to ride the Trolley in Downtown Memphis!
Self-Portraits
Mat Man is very important to us for so many reasons! He teaches us about our body, where our body parts belong, and he even can help us pretend. During the month of January, Mat Man wore many "HATS" to go along with our Community Unit of "Where Do We Live?" He was a firefighter, a baker, a teacher, a police officer, a magician, and many more. He also helped us to grow in drawing our self-portraits. Can you find your child's self-portait and see a difference between August and January? We are thrilled with the progress and so are the children!
Cooks Nook: Sawdust Pudding
The children had fun with this Cook's Nook activity. Making pudding, hammering vanilla wafers, and whip cream were all a big hit!
