What are our rules?

This week we talked about our school rules. I asked the children to tell me a school rule and these were a few of their responses…….

Milo - No running

Ivy - No lamb at school

Emory - We don’t pinch

We learned that our school rules keep us safe.

MARY AND TINKERBELL

The students were surprised when Mary came to school with her lamb. We loved seeing her lamb , but I had to tell Mary that we could not have a lamb at school. It is against the rules.

Boogie Brown was in my class when she was three years old. Boogie plays the part of Mary for me every year. She is a blessing to our school. Boogie's mother, Ashley helps Boogie with this precious activity. A special thank you to Boogie for giving us a WOW moment!

Memory skills with nursery rhymes

As your child sings a nursery rhyme they are using memory skills. Nursery rhymes are made up of patterns and they are easy first memorization pieces.

Letter L with Handwriting Without Tears

We will cover the letters that are made with straight lines first. Our first letter is L. The students use big lines and little lines to form letter L.

Making letter L with play-doh - Handwriting Without Tears

The children learned to roll out a big line and a little line with play - doh. After they roll the lines they place the play-doh on the letter card. We had a blast making letter L!

Gross Motor Skills in P.E.

The children had to crawl through a tunnel , jump on a pad with two feet together, and run around the cones. The children are learning to follow directions and wait their turn.

WHEN DO THINGS HAPPEN AT SCHOOL?

The preschool day is full of events. It is important for your child to know when things happen at school. Routines help students feel safe and secure because they know what is coming next and what is expected.

Hickory , Dickory , Dock

We had a blast with a mouse this week! The children took turns placing the mouse up and down the clock. We talked about roman numerals and we listened to the clock as it chimed. The students chanted Hickory, Dickory , Dock as they moved the mouse up and down the clock.

Hearing and using rhyme, rhythm, and repetition helps children develop early literacy skills.

Peeny Butter Fudge

Peeny Butter Fudge is one of our curriculum books. In our story the grandmother surprises her grandchildren with a change in the schedule. Mrs. Denise works at our school and she pretended to be my grandmother. We were surprised when grandmother changed our schedule by making Peeny Butter Fudge. During this activity your child learned to follow directions, take turns and count.
