(Class 4-5 yr olds). What a great week. We learned how to write the letter "b", learned a new sight word and now have four sight words memorized. We learned how to cut out with scissors, glueing, and made our b train along with banana bread. I found fresh honey to give to each child and they learned that honeybees make sweet honey. We learned the songs, I'm going on a bear hunt, and bluebird, bluebird. We played bingo, spin the bottle finding "b" words. We read "bark, George" you will have to ask your child what the story was about.
(Class 3-4 yr olds). A great week. The children are counting to 10 very easily. We are practicing writing their names. It is still difficult because they're hands (fingers) are still forming but they try really hard and that counts in my book. They love being read to and love singing. We did the same songs and read the same books as did the 4-5 yr old class.
I am so touched at how kind and thoughtful they have been toward each other. Everyone is starting to make friends with each other and I feel like they are doing very well.
I am calling the tautphaus park zoo to see sometime in October if the zoo mobile can bring some animals for them to see. Preschool for Monday-Wednesday classes will be the same and won't change, however, because the zoo mobile will only come once my Tuesday-Thursday class will have to come on a different day. I will let you know when I find out if they can schedule us in.
*just a note about Halloween coming up in October. Dress your child up in his/her costumes, please make sure they go to the bathroom before coming to preschool. please bring wrapped treats for each child in your child's class:
Class1 Monday-Wednesday 8:45-10:45. 13 children
Class2 Monday-Wednesday 11:00-1:00. 9 children
Class3 Tuesday-Thursday 9:45-11:45. 12 children
Calenders will be sent out by Monday. If you didn't get one please let me know. Because of spud harvest there will be no school the first week of October. Please check your calendars for the dates.
