Hi Pre-K families!

We are well into the new year and been busy working away!  We are continuing with printing our alphabet letters along with improving our skills with cutting closer to the line and trimming edges and making our cuts more smooth.  Some of us have mastered printing our names so we will be trying to make the size a bit smaller, others are still just doing practice practice practice!  

We have dance party Fridays now where we show off our dance moves...this is a favorite!  We have also been doing share sessions where we stand up in front of the class to share a story or to talk about a special toy.  Coming up we will do some Valentine's Day crafts and move onto our Arctic unit.

I look forward to the upcoming months.  Friendships are being made and we have been bonding!  I am just so proud of these kids and their wonderful hearts and seeing them blossom into the great people they are.  Keep it up guys!

Love Mrs. Kelly

                                         

Hello pre-k families!

I finally got my computer fixed!  To catch you up we have almost completed doing the uppercase alphabet.  We have been also continuing with shapes, colors and working with numbers.  We have been working on developing our fine motor skills, but also enjoying our time with song and dance.  Right now we are practicing our Christmas song for the Christmas concert.  They are so amazing at memorizing the song and actions!

There are still a couple dates available for volunteering in December and we may need a couple extras for getting ready for concert.  Can't wait!

 Prekindergarten families,

I cannot believe we have made it to the final month of school!  Where has time gone?  I have seen so much growth in your children, especially in the last few weeks.  We are mastering our names, coloring and cutting, gluing, and crafting.  Our stamina at sitting has increased at the table or on the carpet.  I am just so overwhelmed with how hard this group has worked to get where they are today!  Continue to check backpacks for notes about the upcoming final day of school.  Awesome job kids....I have never been more proud!

Hello Pre-K Families!

We are soon approaching spring!  It can't come soon enough!  

We have been doing lots of table work and really improving our pencil skills and scissor work.  we have been doing more crafts now that our ability to sit at the table has gotten longer too!  as always, we have been going over alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, and animals, but at a faster speed.

We are currently learning about arctic animals.  we go over where they live, what they eat, what are their predators, and all about the importance of camouflage!  everyone seems to really enjoy it.

Our favorite song to do in class is the ants go marching.  we all grab drums and shakers as we sing and march!

Spring break is coming quickly and i have been gathering all their work and art to be given right before spring break.

the weather is getting warmer.  hopefully we will be able to get outside soon and have some outdoor fun!

till next time,

Mrs. Kelly

                                                                               

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with family and friends.  It was a nice little break.  we were very busy in november and december making winter crafts and holiday crafts.  we finished going through the uppercase alphabet and numbers up tp 20.  we will refresh our memories and then by end of january we will hopefully be ready to start lowercase even.  as for shapes we have added a couple new ones like cresent, trapazoid, and rhombus and will continue to expand as the year goes on.  our pencil skills and cutting skills have greatly improved over the past couple months which is very exciting.  

it will be nice seeing you all back on the 8th...i've missed our fun afternoons and got lots planned for January!

Hey Pre-K families!

We welcomed a new student this week!  Our little flock grows!

In the last month we have discussed the changing weather and the switch from summer to fall...and soon to winter!  We had pictures done!  We visited the kindergarten class.  We have been polishing up our cutting and gluing with crafts.  We have been doing a letter and number of the day.  Music and dancing has also become a fun part of our day, learning new nursery rhymes or singing along with old ones.

Halloween is coming and we will be carving a pumpkin in class this week...lots of fun!  And right around the corner is Advent and Christmas!!!

Bye Bye for now!

Welcome!!!

Hope everyone has had a wonderful summer.  We have made some big changes in the library at our school which the prek-s get to enjoy!  It's nice and bright and cheerful. 

We got started on Friday this past week and went over our rules of the classroom, had a little tour of the school, had a story, and even did a bit of cutting and gluing.  At circle time we learned about the calendar and weather.  We also got to play in the boat!

I look forward to a great year of fun, learning, and watching you grow.  I also look forward to lots of singing and dancing!

Mrs. Kelly
