We had a great week returning from Winter Break. The preschoolers were so excited to see each other. We spent the week focusing on friendship and reviewing classroom rules. A review after break always helps the rest of the year go smoothly.
This week will be doing a study of maps, since the preschoolers have been creating their own for weeks and going on adventures trying to find different items in the classroom. Please help your child create a map of their bedroom, this is there homework for the week. ** If you have any books about maps or maps at your house please consider letting us use them for the next couple of weeks. ** In class, this week we will be making maps of our classroom and using it to go on treasure hunts and we will read many non-fiction books about maps. We will also be doing a shapes math talk to discover the different attributes of each shape. Students will work on sorting lower case letters by tall, small and fall and working on challenging puzzles independently. We have transformed the kitchen area into a doctors office. The preschoolers try out different roles including nurse, doctor and patients. They will be filling out forms and using medical tools to take care of others and our baby dolls. During this time we will also be discussing how we can keep each other healthy with the colder weather. The snow has arrived and we love to play in the snow. Please send your child with snow pants, boots, gloves, warm coats and hats. If you are having a difficult time acquiring these items please let us know as we have some extras.
