Ms. Murray's Classes
Hi Preschool Families! Announcements:
We had a fantastic week! Both classes are making strong connections — it is wonderful to see. Both classes have enjoyed playing with the new spooky sensory table. There is dyed rice and dyed bowtie pasta (that look like bats) with little pumpkins and witch cauldrons to fill up with. I want to make you all aware that I have gone back and forth for years about using food during sensory play knowing the level of food insecurity in our world. With preschool aged children, some tend to be very oral and I would prefer them putting food in their mouths compared to plastic or something unsafe such as water beads. Please reach out to me if you have any thoughts, questions, or suggestions — I am open to conversation! They have done more “work” on the playground this week. They love the shovels and giant digger. They have been scooping and dumping throughout their entire outdoor time. In both classes, we played a game called “How Many Ghosts are Hiding?” I drew ghost faces small white beans. I put 5 in a small cup and they shook them up and poured them out. The face down ghosts are “sleeping” and the face up ghosts are “awake”. They had to count the sleeping ghosts and then the awake ghosts. I have sent home a ghost game for everyone, including an extra set for any siblings. They will have to teach you all how to play! On Wednesday, there was a fire drill. Preschool is always given notice ahead of time due to prepare and practice. I let them know about the loud noise that would happen and we walked outside to the parking lot before the alarm went off. They were fantastic! They knew that this was an important time to stay really quiet to hear teacher directions and so we can hear any information from Mrs. May. On Thursday we enjoyed playing with all of the leaves at the rock garden. They buried each other in them and could not stop laughing! They also enjoyed climbing the tree at the rock garden. Ask Your Child: What was in the sensory table this week? What did it feel like? Have a great weekend! Deanna
