September 2016

Hello Pre-K Families,
We are off to a GREAT start this year in Pre-K!  The kiddos are getting familiar with school rules and routines and are enjoying their time here.  Thanks for all you do at home to help prepare your child for school each day.

Please take a minute to check out the tabs on top and familiarize yourself with our classroom blog!  There is a lot of useful information as well as fun games for your children to play at home!  I will update the blog monthly, as well as add pictures of any fun projects or activities we may do throughout the course of the year.  These are the themes and letters we will be covering for the month of September:

September 12-16 : Shapes
*We will focus on the four basic shapes: circle, square, triangle and rectangle.  We will be making some fun projects as well as playing shape games and singing the Shape Hokey Pokey!  Our first family project is due back this week!  We will have a special visitor this week too!  

*We will have our first day of Library on Monday and Tuesday.  Your child will be able to check out a book during library time.  Please remember your child will need to return his/her book before a different library book may be checked out.

*Ms. Roxanne will be stopping in to meet each class and spend some time getting to know our classroom.  She will be the long term substitute teacher while I am gone on maternity leave.  She is going to be GREAT!

*There is an EARLY RELEASE day on Wednesday, September 14th.  Students will be dismissed at 1:52 P.M.



September 14-18 : Apples "Aa"
*We will be learning about where apples come from and how they grow.

September 21-25 : 5 Senses "Yy"
