Check Out This Week's 5 Day Pre-K Blog!

Hello All,

You may have heard that we are getting ready for the Friendship Feast which will be on Monday, November 25th at school. This is a time for all of the classes to come together. We have been practicing a song...The Turkey Dance that we will sing for the other children. We will also be having a special snack upstairs in Fellowship Hall. You do not have to send a snack in with your child that day.

Our Reading Street book this week was Subway by Anastasia Suen.  "A rush of air, a car is there, hop, hop, hop on the subway.  Come along for the ride as a little girl and her mother hop on the subway.  From spinning turnstiles and musicians performing on the platform to people hopping off and on and lights flashing past in the tunnels, the sights and sounds of the subway have an energy all of their own." Our song was Let's Travel in the City.  Our vocabulary words were subway, hurry, stair, cars, ride and stop. 

We also read Give Thanks For Each Day by Steve Metzger and Lazy Ozzie by Michael Coleman.

Our Letter of the Week was O. Our song was Olive Spots Rocks. 

Other activities in our classroom this week were:

Discovery:  That Smell Game...we talked about our sense of smell. The children were able to match each container to the picture of what they thought it smelled like.

Our Sensory Table is now a Fairy Garden....homes, fairies, animals, rocks & jewels are amongst coffee beans & paper straw. This has been a popular spot during Center Time.

Listening Center: Thanksgiving For Emily Ann by Teresa Johnston

Art Easel:  Watercolor painting and Octopus dot art

Project Table:  The children created their turkey hats for our Friendship Feast. They also made turkey puppets. They were very excited to have their own hand puppets after seeing the Magic C puppet last week. Today, the children were able to create an owl using a scrub brush.

Math Table:  Tweezer Tong Color Sorting

Writing Table: Sand trays, cutting practice and assorting writing utensils.

Looking ahead, there will be no Letter of the Week or Show & Tell because we only have school on Monday and Tuesday.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Kelley
