Just a heads up...my Tuesday-Thursday class is full for fall 2018-19.  I still have openings on Monday-Wednesday classes.  If your interested please send in your fall application.  Thank you.

What another great week of learning.  The children are blooming like flowers and it's not even spring!

Heads up...next Monday (jan29)and Tuesday (jan30) we will be learning the letter "P".  Please have your child dressed in his/her pjs.  We will have a pancake breakfast and then a little later we will have a puppet show with popcorn while learning everything we can about p.

Kindergarten registration will be coming up in the next several months.  Right now I am prepping them and helping them to be ready for questions they will be asked to answer.  Shapes, numbers, colors and letters.  I hope the letter train your child has been bringing home every week has easy access so your child can go over and over learning sounds and upper and lower case letters.  We are working hard in preschool now with that and the days of the week.

My 4-5 yr old classes love counting to 100 with a few still trying to keep up.  It's ok if they can count to 20.  That's all that is required. They love learning and pushing themselves. It's exciting to see them do it.

Sight words are completely going along great. They're reading level is great.  We are now writing our sight words and again the children are so excited to be writing.

The 3-4 yr old class is doing awesome too. They are going to see tomorrow a live octopus...as well as my 4-5 yr old classes...thought they would enjoy that.  They are counting to 20, which is remarkable. They are learning more shapes, colors, opposites, words that rhyme.

No preschool on Monday January 15. (Human rights day) and the Madison school will be out of school too.

Welcome back students to preschool.  This past week we reviewed everything we have learned thus far.  The 4-5 yr old classes knew all their sight words, counted easily to 50, understood what the sound of each letter is and also recognized each letter..upper and lower case.  We reviewed shapes, colors opposites.

We are going to learn our days of the week, months of the year, and start doing alittle math. My 3-4 yr old class are introduced to these things and we will see what they can handle too.  They are sponges and love learning..that makes all the difference. Looking forward to another great week!

Christmas was wonderful and the new year will be here before you know it.  Preschool will start back up jan 3rd and 4th.  Please don't worry about your payment being late this month.  Just pay when your child comes.  Looking forward to the new year.

Registration is open for the fall 2018.

Registration is open for fall 2018...can you believe it.  The months go by so fast. Just fill out the application and either bring it by or mail it to me.  The schedule and times are on the registration form for you to fill out.

December is flying by quickly.  Santa will be making a surprise visit soon and I'm pretty sure he will play a few games with the children and hand out some wrapped presents and of course a candy cane. (I've never seen so many children love candy canes like these kids do).

All three classes just completed letter "J" this past week.  We made candy canes (which looks like the letter j.  We painted snowmen, made gingerbread man cookies and yes one of them jumped and ran out of the oven.  Quick as a wink the students were running through my house trying to find the little gingerbread cookie.  And when they did he was eaten fast in the moment with children excited and screaming for joy that they found him.

The children are learning how to share better.  They are being kind to each other and noticing each other. They are becoming friends.  It's wonderful to watch. It shows me they are becoming confident and like structure.  Our work load consists of practicing counting to 100, did alittle addition in the 4-5 year old classes, went over and over identifying our alphabet letters and sounds.  Our shapes are coming along great.  Today's class only forgot one shape out of 12 and that was quatrefoil.  Not bad for 4-5 year olds.

We will do letter "K" next week and then the week after we will only have preschool on Monday and Tuesday.  Classes will start back up January 2 and 3rd.  Happy holidays🎄

We finished our letter "H" this week and are trying in class to write our names still and recognize our letters. We learned two new shapes and made turkeys and hats. We talked about the pilgrims and how they went on the mayflower to Plymouth Rock.  The journey was long and the people were starving when they landed.  The Indians helped them with food, planting and having a great feast a year later that is now called "thanksgiving".

Happy thanksgiving to you and if you are traveling please be safe.

Another great week of learning.  Our letter was (f).  The children were taught about fire safety.  If you are on fire...stop, drop and roll.  If your home is filled with smoke, drop and crawl out to a planned place for each family member.  What is your plan?  At my home we taught our children to get outside to the mailbox and wait for us.  Do you go back inside a burning house?  No! And please have safety alarms in your house.  It is always better to be prepared if it ever happens.

This coming week we are moving on to the letter (g).  We will be painting our turkeys and celebrating two birthdays coming up.  We will have another great week of learning shapes, opposites, numbers and writing our names.
