Dear Preschool Families,

What a busy and exciting time in preschool! Everyone is working so hard learning the classroom rules and expectations. We had the chance to pick classroom jobs, make our own placemats for snack, and decorate our kites for our behavior chart. In math we sorted objects by color and recreated pictures with pattern blocks. As a group, we graphed how we get to school each day and what our favorite color apple is. We count objects all day long, too! To encourage literacy, we are learning to recognize our name in print and identify the letter it starts with. The children worked on some silly story puzzles and we read together each day as a group. We loved visiting the playground last week, and hope to get out again soon! Writing practice started this week by making simple strokes and shapes so that we can begin to form letters in the next weeks ahead- I hope you enjoy seeing their work come home. Help your child remember how to hold their crayon and to always start writing a letter at the top! (we have a fun song they might want to sing with you for this!) Next week, we will be doing lots of fun projects with apples!

I hope to see everyone on Back to School Night on September 15th. I have some great information about our curriculum to share.
Have a wonderful weekend!Mrs. Remaly
