Week One: September 1st-September 4th
Welcome to Pre-K. This week we have been spending time learning about Lincoln School. We have been introduced to daily routines, and practiced cleaning up after we play at a center. We have also learned about different places in the school. In addition, we have learned the names of our new friends! The children did a great job learning how to “check in and check out” of class! Some of the centers we used were the dramatic play center, the building center, the cars center, and the arts and crafts center. This week we learned how to take a tour to preview our centers for the day. Ask your child to show you his/her “tour” hands! We also learned how to use a very important school tool: the glue bottle. We know the use “just a dot, not a lot.” We are going to have a GREAT school year!
Help From Parents: At home you can find out about your child's day by asking specific questions. Try asking questions such as: “What color blocks did you build with, Did you swing on the swings?” You will be able to gain more information rather than asking “What did you do today?” This week I introduced our daily feelings chart. Each day your child will look at different faces and choose how they feel. Practice looking at different faces and talking about how the person feels. You may also try to make different faces to different emotions in a mirror.
