MWF Preschool News - Week of Feb. 28

Seek first the kingdom of God. Matthew 6:35

Hello MWF Preschool Families!

It was a silly week here at the preschool. We learned all about the letter S and had so much fun discovering new words that began with the letter S. We made string pictures on Monday using various colors and sizes of string and we made seed collage pictures on Thursday.


We also had fun dancing to songs like “Spaghetti Legs” and the “Silly Dance,” and we even used streamers when we dance to music in the gym.

We also learned about a man this week named Dr. Seuss who wrote many silly stories. We listened to three of his silly stories, and they were The Foot Book, Green Eggs and Ham, and The Cat in the Hat. Wednesday we painted red stripes on white paper that looked like the Cat in the Hat’s hat.

This week we also planted seeds that will grow in the classroom over the next few weeks. The children planted basil, oregano, and spearmint seeds. After all the seeds were planted we put them under a clear plastic lid near the window to help them grow. We discussed how the lid is like a little green house, and how it will help the plants grow.


Here are some other things that we did this week:
Writing our names
Creating patterns with shapes
Throwing, kicking, and bouncing balls
Using stencils
Using alphabet tiles to match and order.


We have even more fun planned for Letter T week. We hope that you have a wonderful weekend, and we will see everyone Wednesday!

Miss Amy, Miss Michele, Miss Jean, and Miss Pat
