October 21-25, 2024

 


Pre-K has been getting ready for Halloween - and they are SO excited!


We made our own monsters with Miss Webb in art class! She gave us the pieces and we built our monsters. Check out our creations!



In music class, the Pre-K students are learning about the concept of keeping the beat in a song and the concept of what it means to "rest" in music. Listen to them play along to "The Addams Family!"



We just finished our second directed drawing of the year! Directed drawing is a fun, step-by-step way for students to create art with a bit of guidance. As I lead them through each line and mark, students learn to follow directions while boosting their creativity. Plus, it’s great for building fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination as they make careful, precise movements.

The boys and girls drew Franken-buddies and even surprised themselves with their amazing work!














This is one of our favorite activities to do with the Pre-K students. Directed drawings also help build self-confidence when the children see they really can do something if they just try. Stay tuned to see their creativity blossom throughout the year!


Show and tell today was full of giggles as the students shared their clues for the Halloween objects they chose to share. Thank you for preparing them so well for show and tell each week. They really are doing a phenomenal job!





Please have your child prepare three clues to help their classmates guess what object they chose to share. The show and tell topics for October are:
  • Friday, November 1 and Friday, November 8 - no school
  • Friday, November 15 - something that begins with /c/ (think of the hard /c/ sound like in carrot, not the soft /c/ sound as in Cinderella
  • Friday, November 22 - something that begins with /r/
  • Friday, November  29 - no school

Uniform Schedule for Next Week:

Monday: gym uniforms
Tuesday: outfit of your choice with sneakers (Picture Day)
Wednesday: gym uniforms
Thursday: Halloween costumes with sneakers
