What a FUN week we had in Pre-K!
This week we reviewed letters A, B, C, D, T, S, M, and P. During our morning circle time, we enjoyed our new favorite song, "Who Let the Letters Out." The children love singing the letter sounds and acting them out. Nearly all of the children can now name all of the letters and are about 80% accurate on naming letters sounds! I am so very proud of them. We also sang a new song called, "I Spy Shapes". During this song, the children walk around the room and find all kinds of shapes. I have been quite surprised at the shapes they have found. To be perfectly honest, I have never noticed that our chairs have triangles on them! I love to see them thinking "outside the box"!
We also spent some time this week practicing for the Kitty Stone Talent Show. We will be singing, "I've Been Working On The Railroad". The children are excited about performing.
Last but not least, we had a SNOW day on Thursday. It was a surprise activity to wrap up the book that I chose to read this week. Each morning, we read "The Snowy Day" by Ezra Jack Keats. We loved reading about Peter and his snow adventures. After last week's promise of "real" snow that never happened, I decided to bring the snow to us! We combined corn starch and shaving cream in a big bucket. It was definitely a sensory experience! I must confess, I may have had the most fun! Pre-K is SO much fun! We made snowballs and little bitty snowmen. We used our imaginations and had a blast! I hope you enjoy the pictures and the video (its on the post after this post).
Next week, will be focusing on letter F. I am very excited about our Fireman craft that we will do on Tuesday. Don't forget, we have a field trip to the Jacksonville Public Library scheduled for Thursday, January 31st. The preschool storytime will be "Alphabet Adventures". I may be partial, but I can just about guarantee that I will have the smartest preschoolers there!
Love,
Mrs. Weathers
