Back to School Night

Ms. Barbara, Ms. Reham, and I would like to thank all the families who came to our Back to School Night! It was great getting to meet you all!  We are off to a great start and we know we are going to have another great year in Pre-K!

Letter Bb & Number 2

 

Last Week:

 

We had so much fun with Benjamin Bunny learning all about the letter Bb! On Monday, we glued all different buttons with two holes on a large blue Bb. On Tuesday, we learned about bears and read " Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See". On Wednesday and Thursday, we focused on the number two. On Friday, we enjoyed learning about the twelve months of the year and our birthdays! Through the week we played bear bean bag toss, danced to bean bag songs, played basketball, and had fun with bubbles!  Friday we also celebrated the letter Bb by having a backwards day!

This Week:

We will be learning about letter Cc with Cathy Cook and the number three. 

This Wednesday, you are invited to come in for Back to School Night at the Co-op at 7 PM.  When you arrive you can come right to our classroom for a short discussion and then at 7:15 PM everyone will be going upstairs for a general meeting with Ms. Liz.
 

Backwards Day :)

Bubbles!

Backwards Day!

Send your child to school Friday with their clothes on backwards for some silly letter Bb fun!

Letter A & Number 1

We started our amazing week by reading "Apple Annie" and learning our fun letter A song.  On Monday, we learned the sounds that the letter A makes, how to write the letter with Mr. Pencil, and we learned many letter A words. While outside, we played an alphabet ball game and during Afternoon Art we made our Apple Annie puppets.  On Tuesday, we explored the inside of an apple and discussed all the parts of an apple. Wednesday we focused on the number one  and learned how to make patterns using colorful apples.  We even made apple pattern wreaths!  On Thursday, we took another look inside of an apple after listening to the special story about the apple star.  All of the children were excited to see that when you turn an apple on it's side and cut it in half a special star appears! We then used these apple stars to make beautiful apple prints.  You can see these pictures in our class Art Gallery.   To finish our week we had a fun apple tasting!  After the tasting we made a graph to find out if our class prefers green apples or red apples and it was a tie!  We thank all the families who sent in an apple to help make Friday a really special and amazing day!   Please remember to scroll down to see some memorable moments from our week.

Next week, we will be learning about letter Bb with Benjamin Bunny and number two.

First Week of School

We had a spectacular time getting to know each other these first few days of Pre-K!  On our first day of Pre-K we read " The Kissing Hand" by Audrey Penn and discussed some of our fears about going to school.  We also showed the children how to obtain a kissing hand of their own from someone special at home as well as give a kissing hand.

During our first full week of school, we read, " Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" by Bill Martin Jr. & John Archambault and focused on how to write and spell our names.  We even made our own coconut trees with our letters in our names on it!  We focused on learning our classroom rules, routines, and how to interact with our play and learning centers.  We learned how to hold our pencils and completed the prewriting pages in our Early Learning Skills Journals.  In the afternoons we also learned how to hold and use a scissor along with important scissor safety.

Next Week:

Starting on Monday, September 16th, we will be focusing on letter Aa, number one, and exploring apples! On Friday, we will be conducting an apple tasting and graphing.  Please send in your child's favorite apple on Friday morning.  Homework will be sent home in their folders.  Please have your child complete each page by Friday morning and have them put their homework back in their folders to return in to school.  As stated in the note sent home, we recommend doing the letter homework Monday or Tuesday and the number homework Wednesday or Thursday.

Please scroll down the page to see some pictures from our first week of school!
