Building Blocks Preschool

The first day of preschool started Wednesday and Thursday.  It was great getting to know each of the children and remembering their names. I believe they each had a great time together because they were all smiling during the time they were here.

In all of the classes we learned about the letter Aa and the sound it makes.  We then learned about freezing to a dance -  when the music stops playing we all freeze.  (They enjoyed this game together and wow, do we have some great hip hop dancers).  The freeze dance is a great way to begin to teach each child about listening closely. We then colored some A pictures and learned the "A" song.  Just ask your child to sing it to you (about an apple tree from Zoo Phonics).

We reviewed colors, shapes and counting to #10.  In the 4-5 year class one young man counted to 40 and the childrens eyes were hugh!  I told the children that they will be able to do that soon too!

The children brought home a flag as we started to memorize the pledge of allegiance.  Again, they were all trying very hard -some already knew it but some did not.  It is always fun to watch how they each help one another learn.

*Each class has 12 students in it so when it is your childs' turn to bring a snack please remember to bring enough for 12 children.
