That time of year is here where we all get our kids primped and ready for picture day! Monday, September 27, is picture day! We are scheduled for photos at 8:30 am. Please remember to send in order forms and payment, if you are ordering photos, with your child.

This week, we continued to practice cutting and gluing skills. We reviewed letters A and B and introduced the letter C. All of the centers were changed this week. In our math center, the children all got to play and enjoy Candy Land. This helped them with turn taking, color recognition and counting. They all enjoyed it. In our sand and water center, the children enjoyed playing with measuring cups, spoons and corn kernels. A special thanks to Mrs. Payne for supplying our center with the corn! We also worked on fine motor skills by creating our own tissue paper corn. I tried to trick my little friends by hiding the letters A/B/C in a letter jumble, but as I was told by the class, “there is no way you can trick us!” The little detectives found each and every letter, capitals and lower case. Speaking of little detectives, we welcomed another friend this week to our pre-school class! We gave Evan a huge welcome! Everyone did great with the Question of the Week board, this week! Next week, the question will be, “Where did you see the color green?” Thank you for all your support from home with this. The children really are excited to come in during morning circle time and share what they discovered.

I hope that everyone gets a chance to get outside and enjoy the weather this weekend. This is a great time of year to get outside with your preschooler and go on a color hunt. With the leaves starting to change color, there is plenty for them to discover!

Have a great weekend!
