Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to update you on some important dates!  Next week is our “Art Show”.  This will be held on April 21st @ 5:30, the same night as the Expo for Underhill.  I will be in the classroom all evening, so feel free to walk through and look at all of the wonderful art projects at a time that works for you!  I hope we will see everyone there!

I can’t believe that we are approaching the end of the school year!  

Our last day will be:

Tuesday June 7th for the T/Th morning class  

Wednesday June 8th for the M/W/F & T/W/TH class

On the last day, the 3 year old class will sing some songs and the 4 year old classes will put on a small play and sing some songs.  This will all happen during your child’s regular class time.  As we get closer I will let you know the exact time.  (Usually an hour before dismissal)  I also was hoping to celebrate the beginning of summer break with an ice cream party.  Please let me know if your child can not have ice cream.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Spring Break!  See you in May!

Save the Date!

Some questions we will answer:

• How does this fit into Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP)?
• What can I do to help my child?

What's New in the Preschool?

We went on a Bear Hunt!

First, the we completed a paper by counting how many bears were in the ten frame and then we stamped the correct numeral.

Next, we looked throughout the school for bear paws and found the matching numeral on our paper.

Lastly, we went to the office where Ms. Jodi gave us a certificate for being great hunters!  

Hello Everyone!

The children have been so excited to celebrate Valentine's Day!  We loved sharing our Valentine's with our friends!  Here is what we have been up to:

In Imagine It, we continue to:

• Associate the names of letters with their shapes and sounds.
• Clap out syllables in words
• We have been practicing blending syllables to make words
• We are learning to show awareness of the beginning and ending sounds in words
• Here is a list of the sight words we have learned so far!:
• A
• the
• in
• on
• and
• is

The children loved reading "The Mitten" by Jan Brett!  This is one of my favorites!  After we read the story a few times we had a chance to act it out!  It was fun to have us all squeeze into a mitten (white sheet) until the bear sneezed and we all flew out!
