MWF 3's Class

This week, we continued our community helpers unit by learning about food helpers. We learned about people that grow our food, cook our food, sell our food, and serve our food in restaurants. We had lots of fun learning about restaurants and playing in our new restaurant dramatic play center. We discussed the importance of being calm at a restaurant, how to use our manners, and what to do when it's hard to wait while at a restaurant. During centers, we matched the letters in our name on chef hats and followed recipes to build shape pizzas. We also learned about the letter R and turned our handprints into roosters. This morning, we also had lots of fun playing the drums and dancing with Ms. Lori. Next week, we will learn about construction helpers/vehicles and the letter S. Here are some picture highlights from our week in 3's:

PM 5's Class:

This week, we continued our transportation unit by learning more about air travel, water transportation, human powered transportation, and more! On Tuesday, we learned about different types of boats and what they are used for. During centers, we experimented to see how much weight the CS PRESCHOOL "cargo ship" could hold without sinking. We also worked on writing numbers 1-20, building transportation machines with pattern blocks, and turned the letter M into a mouse for our letter books. We also wrote in our Fine Motor Journals about our adventures over Mid-Winter Break - it was so fun to hear about all the fun everyone had! Next week, we will begin our nutrition unit to learn about the food groups and learn about the letters W and X. We will also begin planting in our amazing school tower garden, graciously provided by the EGRPS School Foundation. You can learn more about tower gardens here. Here are some picture highlights from our very short week in 5's:

Have a great weekend!
