Welcome back to Preschool. I hope that everyone enjoyed their break. It's always nice to settle back, spend time with family and friends, and not live by the clock or routine. Many blessings to each of you for a happy and healthy 2019.
This week we are learning all about the letter Ll. Our Board story is about Leo the Lion licking a lollipop. Our Board Words are lion, ladybug, lemon, and lamb. We added the words love and lullaby. During Circle Time we started to learn a little ladybug poem. Our Circle Time story today was Llama, Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney.
Our Free Choice Centers:
*PlayDoh
*Letter Ll coloring page
*Lacing Cards
*Lego Blocks
*Sand Table
In the Art Center today we had fun painting with Lego blocks. It was a bit messy, but lots of fun. I'll send these home on Thursday. The paint was too wet to go home today.
In Small Group we worked on name writing and are starting to really work on our scissor skills. This week and next week we will focus on paper tearing. Many of the pre-cutting skills that we'll be doing help us to strengthen and develop the hand muscles we need to cut with scissors. We also continue to work on proper pencil grip.
Special Notes:
**I know that we just celebrated Christmas, but Valentine's Day is only 5 weeks away. I've already had some parents ask about a party, We do NOT have a Valentine's Day party. We will do some seasonal crafts in school. On Valentine's Day, Mrs. J and I will bring in a special treat and do a special craft with the class. We will also pass out Valentine's. If your child would like to bring in a treat to pass that would be fine. More information about this will come home soon.
**A big THANK YOU to Mrs. Shumaker and Mrs. Crandall for coming in today to do our Preschool Auction craft with us. If your child has paint on their feet, this is why. The craft is looking adorable. Thank you so much for spending the morning with us. Also, Thank You to our room mom's for coming up with the craft and getting all of the supplies needed. All that you do is so appreciated.
*No one can go back in time and change what has happened. So work on your present you to make your life full of love, laughter, and happiness. God's blessings for a wonderful 2019.
