PreSchool

Room 1 has been busy this month. We continue to work on colors, numbers and shapes. Our letter was C and our concepts were big/ little, up/down, Over/ under and through. Themes were construction, snow and we will be learning about our senses. “I can see, I can hear and I can smell”. They all love music and books and enjoy music therapy. Several have aquatic therapy and work very hard in the pool. We love sensory such as playing in water, sand and snow. Our staff works well as a team to provide the best educational environment for our students.

Room 2

Room 2 has worked hard on keeping our bodies healthy by movement and eating all the colors of the rainbow. We’ve loved exploring our FIVE senses too. We made a special snack that resembled a snow person. Several students had fun creating a happy face to eat. Mr. Dan will be visiting to discuss dental health as well. He will show us how to brush/floss and keep our teeth healthy.

Room 2 will also be having the Children’s World Awareness Museum visiting. They will teach us about the Chinese New Year. We will have the opportunity to explore clothing, instruments, and artifacts. The Chinese Dragon Parade will also be done.

A special Valentines’ exchange will take place to show how much our students care about each other. We will also play fun games, create a sundae and watch a special video.

February will end with The Three Bears and how they worked as a Team to discover Goldilocks . Just like our students are doing, working as a team to learn and grow. That’s how we do it in Room 2. TEAMWORK!!!

3 Bears Snack Extension Activity! Yum!

Dragon Parade

February is a busy month for room 3! We had a visit from the Children’s Museum in celebration of Chinese New Year! We heard about traditions, learned a song, tried on Chinese clothes and use chopsticks. We finished with a Dragon Parade! It was a fun celebration! Mr Dan, from Warren Co Health, taught us about dental health. Then our centers were about teeth and dental health. We celebrated the 100^th Day of School and 100 days of fun with friends! Valentine’s Day was another celebration for us! Lots of hearts, activities and stories about friends! We also celebrated the colors Red and Pink! Everyone was encouraged to wear a special color! We’re looking forward to learning more about Goldilocks and The Three Bears after vacation.

Room 3 Friends Playing Together!

Jeanine let her beautiful Miss Emery come visit us today in Room 4!

Here in room 4 we have been doing a lot of learning. December was all about the holidays, red and green, and getting into the spirit of kindness. The children really loved hearing different holiday music, playing in the snow during sensory time and making themed crafts. Here in January, we are working on learning about the 5 Senses, blue and orange, and reading many more books. Our current favorite is “My 5 Senses” We are a hard working team here in Room 4! We cannot wait to see what the rest of the year brings.

During the month of May, we had fun learning about all kinds of insects. The children made beautiful bumble bees and lady bugs. We had the opportunity to watch our caterpillars grow into beautiful butterflies. During the month of June we will be learning about pond life.

We are so proud of all of the students in Room 5, they have made so much progress this year. Many of our friends will be going to public school in September. A piece of our hearts will go with each of them; it has been a great year!!!

Happy Spring!

The children in Room 5 have had a fun and busy month. We have been learning about construction and different kinds of tools. We had fun building with both small and large blocks using a variety of tools. We also made bunnies, chicks, and a variety of egg decorations for our classroom. We had fun outside on the playground. The children have been learning new songs about rain drops and rainbows.

As we re-evaluate the children for upcoming “annual reviews”, we are reminded of all the progress they have made since the beginning of the year. We are all so proud of them.

Our Unique curriculum theme for May is butterflies and moths. We will be learning about these insects as well as other things that grow.

The month of February was filled with several fun activities. We have been learning about sharing and caring, make believe, and dental health. The children have been making and mailing valentines in our post office. We made valentines dogs, mice, cats, and caterpillars. The children had so much fun exchanging valentines with their friends. Some of our favorite stories included I Love You a Rebus Book, Valentines Mice, Sweet Hearts and the Mitten Mystery. Gus the Mastiff came to visit our classroom as well. Gus is a therapy dog who is a big as our children! Everyone loves petting and hugging Gus. During the month of March, we will be learning about animals that live in the jungle, transportation and all things green.

We are in the process or re-evaluating the children’s strengths and needs. Parent conferences will be conducted during the months of March and April.
