After Care

 Hello families!

Starting this week, our friends in after care will being going outside for another recess for about a half an hour at the beginning of after care. If you could please come into the building and gather your students belongings and then pick them up and sign them out at the playground that would be greatly appreciated! 

Have a great start to your week! 

What we did this week (August 23rd-August 27th)

 What a great first full week of preschool we had this week! We spent the week learning our ABC's, the color red, the shape circle and the number 1! We practiced singing our alphabet all week long with so many different alphabet songs! On Monday, we practice a fire drill with the whole school! We read "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" and even created our own book to see all of the friends in our classroom! We are going to keep it in our classroom library to look at! On Tuesday, we practiced a tornado drill! We read "LMNO Peas". We got to decorate the first letter of our name for our chicka chicka boom boom tree! On Wednesday, we read "Alphabet Adventure". We made chicka chicka boom boom hats! On Thursday, we got to smile pretty for the camera and got our school picture taken! There are going to be a lot of adorable preschool photos! We also read "Walk and See ABC"! We got to make chicka chicka boom boom trees with our handprints and had the letters of our name in the tree! On Friday, we read "Eating the Alphabet Fruits and Vegetables A to Z". Today we got to play with playdough. We practiced rolling the playdough into snakes then we bent the snakes to fit the letter of our first name! We even got to paint plates to look like the alphabet caterpillar like we saw in the alphabet song from Cocomelon! This was their idea and I was on board making their idea come true to help us learn our alphabet and decorate our classroom! We got to watch Frozen 2 before nap and during our recess that we had inside to celebrate a fun Friday and making it through our first full week of preschool! Enjoy the photos from this week!

Picture Day!

 Just a reminder that tomorrow, August 26th, is picture day! Bring that big smiles to school with you! 

We made it!!

We made it to Friday! There has already been so much learning and fun to be had in our short week! We have learned all of the rule for the classroom, cafeteria, and playground! We are working on learning to walk in a line and following the person in front of us! We got to listen to the story "The Kissing Hand", which helped us learn that it is okay to be sad to be away from Mom and Dad but we are strong and are having fun at school!  We got doughnuts for breakfast to celebrate making it through our first week of preschool together! I hope all my friends showed you their handprint keepsake that we made! They all said it tickled as I painted their hands! We got to celebrate our friend, Tommy, who had a birthday in August before our school year started! I have added more pictures of the past two days to show you all the fun we have been having in our first week of preschool! Thank you for sharing your child with me everyday! I am already loving getting to know each of their personalities! Just a reminder that I am sending home red Target bags with nap time items and water bottles to wash and to return them both on Monday please! Next week we will begin learning our ABC's with our "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" theme! Have a wonderful weekend and I will see everyone on Monday morning! :)

First Day!

 What a great first day we had! The morning may have looked rough but isn't the first day of school always a little crazy for everyone ?! Boy did it fly by quickly! It was so great to hear this room fill with laughter and seeing friendships bloom right before my eyes! We learned about the rules on the playground and in the classroom! We got to play with all of the cool toys in the classroom! The rice in the sensory table seems to be a big hit! We had a great time exploring the playground! The cheese pizza was also a huge hit at lunch!
