December Updates

December is flying by so quickly. We are so busy. We have been working on many crafts and special projects as well as getting ready for the Christmas Program. We are learning about the letter Kk this week. Kk is one of the harder letters to write so if you have a few minutes during this busy time help your child practice writing the letter Kk.
Please check your child's folder for more information about what to wear and details for the Christmas Party.

The kids did a great job at the Thanksgiving Program. We are so proud of them! Can't wait to see the Christmas Program.

Happy Fall!

Happy Fall! This week we are learning about the letter Ii and continuing

to work on crafts and songs for the Thanksgiving Feast. We are also learning about patterns, shapes and rhyming words. Preschool is busy, busy! Thanks to all the moms helping out with the set up for our Thanksgiving Feast, we couldn't do it with out you.

Fall Update

We have had a fun a busy week at school. We are learning about the letter Gg. We are also talking about Thanksgiving and Fall. Today we made turkeys and decorated them with leaves. We will be doing many crafts in the weeks to come in order to prepare for our Thanksgiving Feast and program. It is going to be a real treat. Next week we will be learning about the letter Hh and the sound that it makes. In addition to the things your child brings home everyday we also work on many skills orally. We are learning the days of the week, months of the year, counting, and the sounds that we hear at the beginning of a word. Ask your child to tell you about these things, they like to show off what they know.
I hope your child is enjoying all the fun things we get to do! We are really busy.
Please remember to send in your child's sweatshirt money and size soon so that we can place the order. White shirts go quickly this time of year.
We will be having show and tell Friday, so start looking for something that begins with the letter Hh, and don't forget to wear your t-shirt-Friday is t-shirt day.
Happy Birthdays to....Mia, Max and Bella...we are getting so big!

Ff is for Firetruck and Family

We will be studying the letter Ff next week. Please send in a picture of you and your family if you did not do so at the beginning of the year. The firetruck will visit on Wednesday. We will have the church Fall Festival Wednesday night, and everyone is invited! Our class party is on Friday, you may wear your costumes (no scary costumes). You can bring a book that goes along with your costume for show and tell on Friday! We will have a fun and busy week!

Fun at the Pumpkin Patch!

We had so much fun at the pumpkin patch. We went on a hike, got to pet farm animals, hear a story inside a teepee, walk through a pumpkin patch, take a hayride, and roast marshmellows! It was a blast.

Pumpkin Patch

Please note that we will be going to the Pumpkin Patch on Wednesday, October 22 NOT Friday due to weather.
Please wear tennis shoes, red school shirts and jeans to be safe on our hike!

Pictures

Picture Day

Friday was picture day. Everyone looked wonderful. I can't wait to see the great pictures you made. Sorry that the fire truck had to reschedule, but we were so busy we hardly notice. We had pictures made, sang happy birthday to Andrew and decorated Sparky the fire dog cookies (thanks Ms. Traci). We made our on cell phones and practiced dialing 911. We also discussed rules for fire safety and when to dial 911. It was a great day! Have a great weekend, next week is the letter Ee.

No School Monday!

We enjoyed doughnut holes Friday (thanks Evan), they were delicious. Next week is Fire Safety Week. We will discuss 911 and ways to be safe in case of a fire. This is a good time to review your safe meeting place at your home and have your child practice what to do in case of a fire in your home.
We will be out of school Monday. Hope you enjoy the long weekend.

Spirit Day

Don't forget that tomorrow is Spirit Day, wear your red t-shirts! We will also have show and tell you can bring something that begins with the letter Dd. We will be painting 'dots on Dd' tomorrow as well. Can't wait! See you tomorrow.

C is for Cupcakes and Corn!

We had Friday fun decorating cupcakes and painting the letter C with corn. Thanks to the moms that sent in cupcakes. They were a hit!
We have also been practicing the days of the week and months of the year. Ask your child if he/she can tell you the days of the week or months of the year, I bet they can! They love to show off new things they have learned.
Tomorrow we will be going to computer and learning about the letter Dd. It's going to be fun!

October 1, 2008

Well, who knew that you could not only eat carrots, but you can paint with them as well. This week we are having a great time learning all about the letter "C". Today we got to see, feel, then paint with carrots. On Friday, we will try our hand at painting with fresh corn on the cob. It was great fun. In preparation for our field trip at the end of the month, we have started to learn the "Five Little Pumpkins" rhyme. Don't forget Friday is Show and Tell.

The kids love playground time

The Letter Cc

Today we learned about the letter Cc. We talked about the sound that it makes and practiced writing the letter C. We also enjoyed computer time. This week we will do lots of fun things with the letter Cc. Friday we are going to decorate cupcakes. If anyone is interested in sending cupcakes Friday (without icing) please send a note in your child's folder Wednesday.

Encourage your child to read his/her name to you any time he/she sees it in print. Also try reading the names of other memebers of the family.

MOM, I'M BORED.....Try putting some cornmeal, flour, sugar, ect, on a cookie sheet and let your child practice writing letters.

Give your child the salespaper from ToysRUs and have him/her cut out the toys that begin with the letter of the week.

We had a great day. See you Wednesday!

Banana Split

Today we had banana splits to celebrate the letter Bb. We are still practicing forming the letter Bb and learning the sound that it makes. We talked about things that begin with Bb and made a list of those things. The ice cream was delicious! It was a great day.

Ask your child to tell you something that begins with the B sound!

Please check your child's folder for a note about speech and hearing screening.

Remember that show and tell is Friday. Please bring something that begins with the letter B. You can also have your child practice presenting show and tell to you before they do it at school.

See you Friday!

A Busy Day

Today we started learning about the letter B. We talked about words that begin with the B sound and practiced writing the letter B. We fingerpainted a blue B. FUN! We also reviewed he letter Aa and the sound that it makes.

Ask your child to tell you things that begin with the short a sound and the b sound!

Just a reminder, if you haven't sent a paint shirt to school with your child please do so, we are painting almost everyday. I don't want to get paint on those cute clothes!

Field Trip

We had a great time on the field trip today. All of the kids were wonderful! Thanks to all the moms that drove for us today, we really appreciate it! Thanks to Max's mom too for the cute
