Warm Clothing: Please continue to send your child's winter/snow gear in their canvas bag each day. Please double check that their bag contains their snow pants, boots, coat, hat, and mittens. Many items look similar, so please label your child's coat, snow pants, boots, hat, and gloves/mittens. We try to go outside daily as long as it is not raining, the wind chill is above zero, and the playground is not too muddy/icy. If you have a pair of school shoes or hard bottom slippers that you would like to keep at school, let me know and we can keep them at school to avoid having to lug them back and forth each day.
T/Th 3's Class:
This week, we learned about neighborhood helpers like mail carriers, garbage collectors, and reporters. We really enjoyed playing in our classroom post office and mailing valentines to our friends! During circle time, we discussed Valentine's Day and ways we can show love to our family and friends. We also learned about the letter P and reviewed how to draw a person with Mat Man! Here are some picture highlights from our week in 3's preschool:
PM 5's Class:
This week, we discussed Valentine's Day and reviewed what makes a good friend. We discussed how friends do not always agree and that problems can arise, but that friends can resolve problems kindly. We also talked about the importance of using cotton ball/kind words with others instead of sandpaper/unkind words. We learned about the letter M this week and turned the letter M into a mouse for our letter books. During center time, we worked on recognizing, building and writing sight words. We also worked on decoding new words and sorting them based on whether or not they were real or nonsense words. We also practiced sharing materials and working as a team to put numbers in order and practice skip counting. Here are some picture highlights from 5's:
