Building Blocks Preschool

What a great first week of preschool!  The children started off by getting to know each other.   I read the forms that you filled out for each of your children to each of their classmates.  It was so much fun.  A lot of the kids had the same favorite food - ice cream and pizza.  It was a great way to introduce each child to the class.  Next, with big smiles we started learning the pledge of allegiance.  We will work on this for several weeks .  I then introduced them to the letter Aa with the different sounds it makes.  Afterwards, we learned a new song called, "Way up high in the Apple Tree".  We played an alligator game.  We talked about numbers 1 and 2 and played a color game where they have to match pictures that go with the color they have in front of them.  They really enjoyed this.  Show-N Tell on Wednesday and Thursday was a hit!  They love getting up in front of each other and talking.  This tells me that we are going to have a great year together.  They have already made a friends here and are ready to be taught the fundamentals.  My 4-5 year old classes were introduced to the sight words, A, I, See and Can.  Hopefully this coming week you will see them bring home their first reading books.
