Building Blocks Preschool

Letter "E" was introduced to the children this week.  The children learned that the letter "E" has two different sounds.... please go over EE and Eh sounds.  We had a blast learning a new song that goes with the letter "Ee" about elephants.  They wanted to do it over and over and over.  As we were writing our letters and doing our projects one of the children said that she kept having monster dreams.  I have a great book that is called "Go away Monster".  When I hear children saying things that make them feel unsafe I want them to know their mind can control that thought. This is a great book helping the children build a monster and then piece by piece taking it apart showing that they are in control!   If your child came home and said we read a book about telling a monster to go away - that is why I read that particular book to each class - to help the one! The 3-4 year old's counted individually to 10; the 4-5 year old's counted to 100 - all together.  Once they start hearing how you go over and over the numbers they pick up on counting quickly. Please help your child write his/her name.  This seems to be very hard for some of the children and I want to make sure everyone feels good about themselves in accomplishing this.

The 4-5 year old class is doing GREAT! with their sight words.  I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you so much for your support. Please keep your books I give to you during the year so they can continue through next summer to read them and keep up on their sight words.

All of the children are becoming fast friends.  I wish you could all see how wonderful your children are.  They are ALL really growing and learning well.

Just a heads up:  I just got off the phone with Santa.  Our Christmas Party this year will be at 11:00 on December 14th at the East Stake Center by my house.  This program lasts approximately 45 minutes.  Dress your children in church clothes and details will be given closer to December.

Tautphaus Park Zoo animals have been scheduled for October 17th!
Because we are doing the letter "F" next week I have asked the Madison County Fire Station to bring their fire truck September 21rst at the Rexburg East Stake Parking Lot at 11:00 am.  I am awaiting approval and will let you know this coming week if its a go!!!
