Building Blocks Preschool

Hi everyone!  This week we did the "D" letter. Dinosaurs, donkeys, dragons, dogs, and anyone with their first name starting with D! We are learning how to hold crayons correctly, cutting with scissors, gluing, painting,  following directions, not interrupting, taking turns, counting, colors, picking up after ourselves and friendships are growing.

Each child received a dinosaur clipboard that they colored and that has their name on it.  I would encourage you to have your child practice tracing their name by inserting a white piece of type paper on the top of the clipboard over and over until they can spell their name. The Pledge of Allegiance is coming along great!

You will see items appearing in their backpacks sometimes.....we play a game called the "quite game",  They have to sit quietly still for 1 minute.  As the year progresses they will be able to do it more and more.  I have been told by several kindergarten teachers that they appreciate children who start kindergarten who understand how to sit and be ready to listen!  Also, when you are showing your children how to write their names please always show your child the correct way!  Write first letter upper case and then the rest of the letters lower case.

4-5 Class:  We are now starting to read our little books.  Please every night before you go to bed read at least 15 minutes to your child.  Also, have them read the books I've have given them to practice their sight words.  Our new word this week is: Look
