1/27 Classroom Update

This week, we met "Lizzy Lizard" and learned about the letter L. Many of our learning activities focused on the library (i.e. library manners, the job of a librarian, and what you can find at the library). We also learned about the different parts of a book and discussed how to properly take care of books. During center time, preschoolers practiced reading the pictures and using book manners with special "teacher" books, and they learned how to use our classroom listening center. Preschoolers also practiced writing the letter L, play a ladybug math game, built the letter L with playdough, and we finished up some of our winter assessments. Progress reports will be coming home this week!

It's hard to believe that it is almost February! Next week, we will be learning about the letter U and focusing on opposites. We will also be talking about our birthdays and birthday celebrations.
