T-Th Preschool News - Week of Sept 13

Thank you, God, for making me!

Dear Tuesday-Thursday Families,

We've had another wonderful week here at preschool! This week our theme was "All About Me!" We continued to work on learning each other's names this week, and we have been busy learning all about our new preschool friends. And we all remembered to say "Thank you, God, for making me!"

One of our highlights this week was getting a visit from Miss Colleen who works on the bookmobile! She left the bookmobile at the library this time, and just came into our classroom to read a story. The bookmobile visits our preschool each month, switching between the T-Th class and the MWF class. Watch your calendar for the first time we actually get to go ON the bookmobile!

Here are some of the fun things we did at preschool....

For art, we painted with red paint and played with red play dough
We learned about our bodies this week when we played with our human body puzzle and our handprint puzzles. The handprint puzzles also helped us learn our numbers 1 - 10.
We had fun building amazing things with our castle blocks this week.


For fine motor skills, we had the chance to tear strips of red construction paper at our Exploration Station (aka the sensory table).
For large motor this week, we played outside on Tuesday, and stayed inside to play Duck, Duck Goose on Thursday (the children had so much fun with that!)
We read two more big books this week: Mice Squeak, We Speak by Tomie DePaola and Eeny, Meeny, Miney Mouse by Pascoe and Williams.
We had fun being silly when we sang our good morning song in "kitten voices"
We also celebrated TWO birthdays this week! Thanks for the yummy birthday snacks!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! See you back at preschool next week!
Miss Jean, Miss Lacy and Miss Pat
