October 22nd - 26th

 

Hello Again,

    Here are a few awesome things we did this week at Preschool....

 

*  We learned all about the letter E, its sound, uppercase and lowercase and how to write it.

 

*  "E" is for Elephant

 

*  We made an "E" poster with all things "E".

 

*  We made a naked egg.  We soaked an egg in vinegar for about 2 days, rubbed the shell off of it and now we are going to feel it, talk about it and choose a color to change it.

 

*  We started reading Halloween books, "I Like Pumpkins", "Fright Night Flight", and "Wee Withces Halloween".

 

*  We made homemade peanut butter for our elephant friends.

 

*  We had delicious snacks everyday: Homemade peanut butter with celery, apples, crackers and bread.  We also had mini yogurts, string cheese and juice. 

 

* We painted Halloween Masks that go along with this song...

 

"Who's behind this false face no body knows but me. Who's behind this false face no body knows but me.  I won't tell you, you will have to ask.  If your guess is right they will answer yes".

 

*  We sang Halloween songs.

 

* We checked out letter "E" on starfall.com

 

* We had inside recess.  Which means lots of dancing and we danced with our rhythm sticks to songs and had to listen to the song and do the actions.

 

It was a super duper week.  See you all tomorrow for pumpkin day.  Wednesday is our Halloween Party.  Moms are welcome to come around 10 a.m. to help if you would like.  Costumes are welcome and encouraged.  Also on Wednesday it is tradition for the kids to parade in the front yard and trick or treat to the moms.  If you could just bring 6 little treats, I will supply them with a bag.  It doesn't have to be anything big; candy, pencil, gum, juice box, etc.. be creative.  Our parade/trunk or treat will be on Wednesday at 11:20.  Any questions call me!

 

                                                                Thanks,

                                                                          Miss Heidi

October 8th-12th

     So this week was all about "Columbus Day" and "Fire Safety".  It was such a great week.  We are having such a blast at preschool! Check out our busy week...



1.  We read "1492",  "Firefighters A-Z", and "A Day with Firefighters".

2.  We made a Columbus Day boat with our hands.

3.  We made Jello/Orange Boats for our food experience.

4.  We made 5 Little Firefighters with our hands.

5.  We made a Firetruck with our foot.

6.  We learned about fire.  Fire needs 2 things to burn (oxygen, fuel and heat).  When you take away those things, the fire will go out.  So we set 3 candles on fire.  On the first candle we put a cup over it (no air)-yep, it went out.  On the 2nd candle we squirted it with water (no heat), yep-it went out.  And on the 3rd candle with let the candle run out (no fuel), and it went out too.

7. We sang a lot of fire safety songs and 911 songs. 

8. We also talked a lot about fire safety. 

9. We counted smoke detectors.

10.  We practiced crawling underneath pretend smoke and getting to the door.

11.  We practiced dialing 9-1-1.  We talked about when it's an emergency and when it's not.

12. We played "The Fires Out".

13. We had yummy snacks; juice boxes, graham crackers and fruit snacks-Thanks Mr. M.  Also, string cheese, crackers and raisins-Thanks Mr. J.  And for the life of me I can't remember what I brought for my snack day...sorry-I guess its been a long week.  But, I know we liked it.

     Like I said, it was a fabulous week! Next week is all about the letter "D", squares and Dinosaurs.  I know the calendar says "Dogs", but I reserve the right to change my mind at any given time.  The calendar is just a rough draft..you know!  And this months calendar is very rough.....and very error filled-my bad! Can't wait to see you all in the morning. 

   Oh, and by the way it is a 2 day school week, this week.  Thursday and Friday Davis School disctrict is out of school for Fall Recess.  So enjoy your 4 day weekend...coming up! 

           Thanks for all you do,

                                            Miss Heidi

October 1st-5th

This week was all about the letter Cc, how to write it, recognize it, words that begin with C and of course its sound.  C is for Cookie! We also learned about Ovals all week long.  What a fun week it was at Preschool. 

So here are some things we did worth mentioning....

* Made a letter C poster with all things "C".

* Made a letter C for Cheetah page for our year end alphabet book.

* We made paper/felt cookies for our art project on Friday.  We practiced our cutting, glueing and coloring.

* We read " If You Give a Mouse a Cookie", "Who Took the Cookies from the Cookie Jar?", and "Camilla the Cupcake Fairy".

* We sang our letter C song and learned lots of things that start with letter C.  Carrots, cows, cookies, cupcakes, crayons, candles, candy corn, clocks, cats, circles, cucumbers, and so much more.

* We checked out starfall.com again and learned about the letter C.

* We observed our bananas from last week, the banana in the refrigerator turned brown the fastest.  But, it has the best fruit inside that isn't soft and mushy.

* We sang songs about, traced, found, and danced all about OVALS.  (Tune: Frere a Jaque) This is an oval, this is an oval.  How can you tell, How can you tell?  It looks like an egg, almost like a circle...but its an oval.  Its an Oval.

*We made cookies and then ate the cookies for our snack.  They were delicious.

*We had yummy snacks.  Monday-Carrots, cucumbers, crackers, cheese and chocolate milk- Thanks Miss P.  Wednesday- Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies with frosting and Chocolate Milk-Thanks Miss E.  On Friday-Chocolate Chip Cookies and Milk.  MMMMMMM!

*We played with playdough, learned a new October song, used our scissors for the first time and it was a STUPENDOUS Week!

       Next Week, has been all mixed up because of my errors on the October calendar.  However, Monday is Columbus Day and the rest of the week is all about Fire Safety!  See you Then!

                                                     Thanks a bunch, Miss Heidi
