Today is Constitution Day, and in our preschool room we wrote up our own Classroom Constitution, to remind us of how we can keep our room a friendly, safe and kind environment. Our preschoolers did a great job letting me know what they thought was important to post on our constitution board, and then we all signed it! This all tied in nicely to our week topic of kindeness and emotions. We also had vistors, Mr. Magnuson and Miss Dachisen, who came in and talked to us about bullying. We really enjoyed the book they shared with us.
This week, we introduced the calendar, months and days of the week. I am so impressed at how quickly they have all picked up each song. We also began practicing our pre-writing skills, remembering to use our pinch fingers when holding our writing utensils. We even worked on AB patterns and everyone did wonderful.
Next week, we will start our unit on apples. We will focus on the colors red, yellow and green, counting, patterning and the letter A. We will also be having an apple taste test to see which colored apple we like best and of course, we will be graphing our results.
Thank you again to all who came to Back to School Night. Our book fair was a success and the children enjoyed the selection of age appropriate books to choose from. Please remember to send in all forms to Mrs. Miller by Monday. Also, a few parents have asked what we could use in the preschool room. As always, wipes, both hand and table, would be a wonderful donation. We do our best to keep germs away so we can all stay healthy. If you haven't already done so, please consider joining the PTA, as a volunteer or any capacity. Extra hands are always welcomed and the PTA is a wonderful way to give back to our children's school, for the sake of all our students. If you would like a membership form, please let me know and I will gladly place one in your child's folder. Enjoy your weekend and stay warm!
Mrs. Gilberti
