But first...let me say thank you to the following people:
Everyone who attended curriculum night this week to learn more about our preschool program
Both of our families who brought snacks in this week
The families who picked apples from our "Giving Tree"
(We are so thankful for the donations of Kleenex and Blue Painter's Tape!)
The very kind MWF Mom who donated a new camera to our preschool!
Now for the weekly news....
Dear Tuesday-Thursday Families,
This week at preschool, we've been learning about about families. We talked about the people in our family at home, and we learned that all of us are part of God's big family. We are really glad that we have our family pictures on our bulletin board. The children love to tell us about their families and about when the pictures were taken. Can you believe that September is almost over? What a wonderful first month of school we're having!
Here are some of the things we've done this week...
We had our school picture day this week! The children had beautiful smiles!
Mixed red and yellow paint to make orange to celebrate the beginning of fall
Used fine tip markers (and house shaped paper) to draw the people in our family
Made a collage using pictures of people from magazines (and we even learned that the word collage means "to stick")
Learned a song called "God Made My Family"
Brought our train set out to our curtain area (they LOVE the trains!)
Moved and danced to a song that teaches us body parts
Took walks on our church sidewalk to enjoy our beautiful fall weather.
See you next week!
Miss Jean, Miss Lacy and Miss Pat
Dear MWF Families,
Our focus for this week was teaching the children about families, kindness, and learning to work together. Our students are sitting well on the rainbow rug as they are learning to listen, care, and share at circle time. We are getting more familiar with our gym and playground as we continue to explore areas outside of the classroom. On Monday we played “Duck, Duck Goose” in the gym. They had a great time, and I am sure it will be one of their favorite group games. Our picture day went smoothly. Your children are wonderful listeners. Later that day we took everyone outside on our first rope walk adventure with the entire group. Next week we will focus on the theme of Fall. Thank you to everyone who joined us on Curriculum Night on Tuesday. It was a pleasure to share with you our goals and philosophy of Tiny Treasures. To those of you who weren’t able to join us, we certainly understand busy schedules…if you have any questions feel free to contact us at anytime.
Here are some of the other things we’ve done this week at school…
We drew a family portrait with markers.
We made cards for a family member or friend to demonstrate kindness.
Worked on our own imaginative Red Collages on “Red Day" …using glue and scissors..
Used texture plates for crayon rubbings.
Learned a fingerplay about families.
Listened to The Mommy Book and The Daddy Book by Todd Parr and the story Red Red Red by Valeri Gorbachev.
Played with play dough and puzzles.
Explored a number learning set of cards.
Played with the trains in our smaller groups, and listened to books.
And played with puppets - this group really enjoys puppet shows!
With kindness as we continue to grow and explore together,
Miss Lori, Miss Donna & Miss Pat
