Hi everyone

I wanted to let you know that my fall classes are filling up quickly.

I have:               3 openings left in my 4-5 Monday-Wednesday class. 8:45-10:45
                          2 openings left in my 3-4 Monday-Wednesday class. 11:00-1:00
                          5 openings left in my 4-5 Tuesday-Thursday class. 9:45-11:45
                           No openings Full 4-5 Tuesday-Thursday class 12:00-2:00

I am only going to have 11 students in my classes next fall. Classes will begin after Labor Day in September 2016-17.  Information packet will be sent to you this summer giving you information about birthdays, calendars, payments, along with an open house invitation.  Thank you so much .


Now, as far as school is going...the children are recognizing their sounds, letters, shapes, colors, .....even the pentagon shape.  We counted to 100 (4-5) and the (3-4) ages counted to 20.  We have been learning about rhyming words, days of the week and months of the year.  Also breaking words apart and seeing how many syllables there are in the word...they love it.  The 4-5 yr old classes are doing much better with their sight words.  Also the 3-4 yr olds are pretty close to writing their names...just need a little more confidence, but we're working on it!

Because we did the letter r this week I felt it would not right to have them act out "little red riding hood".  They loved it so much I told them if we have enough time we could do it again next time they come

Our valentines party was a blast as well as our puppet show.  It was a great week of learning and fun. We will have no school on Monday February 15 because of Presidents' Day. With all the sickness in our area schools, Hopefully everyone will be well and ready to learn more here at preschool.🌞

There will be no preschool next week because of the thanksgiving holiday. (Nov.23, 24 and 26th)

Another week has gone by quickly.  We finished making our "h" train on wed. And Thursday.  We made Indian headbands and talked about how kind the Indians were to help the pilgrims when they reached Plymouth  rock.  We made pumpkin pies and worked really hard on our shapes.  The 4/5yr old classes practiced our sight words while the 3/4 yr old classes worked on their letters and sounds
The classes are coming along fine.  If your child is still struggling with writing his/her name, please continue helping at home and encouraging them to keep trying.  I am hopeful by Christmas everyone will be able to write their name.

Have a wonderful week and have a happy thanksgiving everyone.  See you nov 30 and dec 1rst!

Hi everyone.

What we are learning this month-
3-4yr old classes:
   Review our letters and their sounds
    Same-opposite
    Colors and introduced fushia
    Counting to 12
    Painted wooden turkeys -paper turkeys-pumpkin pie
    Reviewed shapes

The children are settling down and starting to listen better. They recite the pledge of allegiance each time they come. We play several movement games each day and try to read at the end of each class.
if your child isn't writing his/her name please give some extra help at home.  Thank you
4-5yr old classes:
   Letters up to g, phonics, sight words
    Numbers to 20
    2new shapes-parallelogram and quatrefoil
    Fushia and basic colors
    Craft once a week
    Six different games
    Same-different meanings

I've been working hard at helping the children raise their hands, listen to instructions...some are having a difficult time but most are really trying to do their best.  This month we are learning that not everyone gets to win.  That was a hard concept for a few of the children at first but now they seem to understand.  If you have any questions please always feel free to call.

Each time your child brings home a letter train ask what letter it is and the sound.  If you do that each night before they go to bed and have them read a sight book they will progress -  thank you for entrusting me with your sweet children
