Week of 09/21/2026:

Hello Purple Room Families! 

In this last week we completed our ALL ABOUT ME theme by focusing on FAMILY! We read the story FAMILIES, in which we opened the flaps on each page to learn about children and their families. Where people around the world live, size of family, things families like to do together and celebrate together. We also read The Family Book.

The children practiced writing paths by drawing vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines to connect the dots creating a house shape. They placed the people of their family into the house, telling us who each person was. We practiced the song Where is Thumkin for finger dexterity and then the Finger Family Song. 

We also read Let it Fall and celebrated the first day of FALL! We continued using our sense of sight by bringing binoculars to the playground and looking for any leaves turning color on the trees. We opened our scissor station, and tore strips of fall color paper or cut the strips with scissors. The small pieces will be used for Fall Fun projects. The children also enjoyed playdough using various tools to roll cut and imprint the letters of their name. 

Our school adjustment counselor, Brooke Johnson, came to our classroom to offer her first Social-Emotional Learning lesson about FEELINGS with the childrne. She read The Feelings Book by Todd Parr, and provided a sorting game in which a variety of feelings we grouped in color coded categories. Our students ideentified what children in the flashcard pictures were feeling, and in which category that feeling belonged. 

It was a pleasure to see the parents who were able to make it to the Parent Night! We talked about our daily schedule and routines, expectations for preschool learning, curriculum, and more. I heard there was some trouble opening the link below regarding the quick list of appropriate pre-k skills in each developmental domain, so I printed copies for all interested. I will send the printout home if you were not able to make it. I am also open to having the conversation with you and answering your quesitons if you were not able to come. 

This week we will start working on all things FALL! 

Thank you,

Ms. Terry & Miss Sheila
