Hi Pre-K Families! Announcements:
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a restful and happy school vacation with your children. It was great to see them again! Please note that your child may be extra tired, grumpy, or irritable this week and next. Getting back into a school routine can be challenging and zap the energy right out of them. The kids were happy to see one another again, and got right back into the swing of things. We spent most of the week talking about Jan Brett and reading The Mitten two times. We used story stones to retell the story. Retelling a story is a big part of preschool, it aides children in comprehension and builds vocabulary. On Tuesday and Wednesday, they learned more about retelling by doing a cutting and gluing activity. They cut out each animal from the book and glued them onto a big mitten in chronological order. They really know this story! On Thursday, we decided that we want to do a play of The Mitten. Each child picked an animal that they wanted to be, and were very respectful and flexible if two or more kids wanted to be the same animal. We then began to make masks of each animal. Masks will be made next week with the MW class. A lot of gross motor play happened this week. The mat was out for tumbling and jumping, and we did a TON of sledding! On one of the days, we bumped into Kindergarten outside sledding. That was fun! Both classes experimented with sledding on their bottoms or using a sled. They made different "tracks" on the hill and were trying to figure out which one was the fastest, and which one made them go the furtherest. On Monday, the kids explored ice with paint and warm water to see what would happen. They ended up making "potions" once all the paint was mixed together. It was really exciting! They were using different tools (big and small spoons, measuring cups, tongs, etc) to see how they could move the ice since it was so cold. The TTh class will do that next week. Another exciting week in the books. I hope you have a great sunny albeit chilly afternoon and weekend. Deanna
