• Thank you

    Posted by Jo Evelti at 11/18/2011
    Thanks to all of you who scheduled conferences with us.  It was a pleasure to meet with you to talk about your  child's adjustment to preschool.
     
    Our literacy focus will be on  rhyme--Nursery Rhymes in particular.  Does your child have a favorite?  Are there ideas you'd like to share with us for rhyming activities?
      We will be doing two of our favorites after Thanksgiving--Jack Be Nimble
    and Humpty Dumpty
     
    Math activities will include measuring distance and height.  In science we will observe the differences between uncooked and hard boiled eggs which the children will help prepare and eat.
     
    Happy Thanksgiving.

  • Class Rules

    Posted by Jo Evelti at 10/10/2011 3:00:00 PM
    It's official!
     
      After generating two pages of lots of 'no' rules, like no hitting, no kicking, no smashing toys.....we have narrowed it down.  Both groups have agreed to three class rules.  They are:
    1.  Be nice to your friends.

    2
    Take care of our school.

    3.  Be safe.

     

    We think these are good rules to live by.

  • Our Five Senses

    Posted by Jo Evelti at 9/23/2011 1:40:00 PM
    We are talking about how our five senses help us learn.  Ask your child to recite this poem with you:
     
    I've got two little eyes to look around,
     
     
    Two little ears to hear each sound,
     
     
    Two little hands to touch the ground. 
     
    One little nose to smell what's sweet,
     
    And one little mouth that likes to eat!

  • First day of preK

    Posted by Jo Evelti at 9/6/2011 4:30:00 PM
     It was a good first day for old friends and children new to the classroom.  There were a few tears, and we did hear several children say they were missing their moms--a pretty typical first day of preschool.  Children learned about how to use and care for books, blocks, crayons, pencils, puzzles, and two different kinds of snap together toys.  We will gradually introduce new materials into the classroom.
    Did your child share anything with you about the day?  Please let us know!
