Wrapping up 2012 in Pre-K

The past two weeks have been super duper busy!   We have been doing a "secret" project just for Mom and Dad.   It kept us quite busy!   I know that the parents are going to enjoy the beautiful calendar that showcases the child's hand print for each month!   We also have been continuing with our curriculum and learning about all different kinds of emotions.   We are getting really good with recognizing the different emotions that we can feel each day.   The children are doing an incredible job at naming letters and sounds.    Ask your child to tell you about "tricky" letters.    Each morning, I flash letter cards really fast and try to "trick" the children.   They love this game.   They request to play it every day!    This week, I introduced the children to patterns.   We all sat together on the carpet and made patterns with our shapes.   Some children made simple patterns with colors and other children surprised me and made patterns with shapes.   I love to see how the children learn from each other.   Everyday is a blast in Pre-K!       
 


We had a great time at our Christmas Party!  We love The Polar Express!
I love when the children say, "Mrs. Weathers, can you take our picture?" Well, of course, I can!!    I think Abbie is playing peek a boo with me, 
We celebrated Layna's birthday!  She is 4!   What a big girl!
The children loved opening presents! 
R.J. is decorating his sugar cookie with yummy sprinkles!
I had to take a picture of our finished product!  Whew!  That was a a lot of hard work!  I am very excited about how the calendars turned out.   I know that the parents are going to enjoy them!
I couldn't resist taking a picture of Abbie.   She LOVES icing!
Luc loved decorating his cookie with mini marshmallows.   Yum!                                                                                                           This will be our last blog update until we start back in January.   I have some exciting things planned for next semester.     The students will be introduced to learning stations.    I will be incorporating many Montesorri activities in each learning station.    The stations will be placed in one of the following groups: literacy, math, fine motor, self care tasks, technology, sensory, and creative play.    I am looking forward to a wonderful new year!
