T/Th 3's Class:

This week, we read the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and learned about the letter B! We learned how to build, write, sign, make the letter B sound, and identified words that begin with B. We also started our letter books which we will be working on all year. Once we have learned about all the letters, we will bind all our letter book pages together to make a special preschool keepsake book to read at home. We practiced using scissors by making cuts into the palm leaves of coconut trees, then we worked on identifying the letters in our name by stamping our names on a coconut tree. During circle time, we used our 5 senses to explore a real coconut. During centers, we played a fun Chicka Chicka Boom Boom letter and letter sound recognition game, built our names out of playdough, and completed a letter scavenger hunt outside! Here are some picture highlights from our week in 3's:
















































































Next week, we will learn about feelings and the letter C - as well as meet the Magic C Bunny! 

PM 5's Class:

This week, we learned about fall and the letter L! We identified signs of fall and changes that occur in the fall. We enjoyed a fall scavenger hunt outside, made leaf rubbings, played in a fall harvest sensory tub, and wrote about why fall is awesome. We also learned that fall and autumn are synonyms, then worked on identifying other words that are synonyms. We have been focusing on recognizing the sight words "I see" and reading a book that follows a pattern. You can practice with the mini-books "I See Fall" at home! We also created decorative fall wreaths and tried to build fall things with legos. This week, we began working on our letter books. Each week, we will add a new page to put together a preschool portfolio for the year! Next week, we will start our exploration of apples and learn about the letter F. Here are some picture highlights from the week: 
































Have a great weekend!
