Ms. Tori’s Update 2-19-18

Hello Preschool Families!!  

    We hope that you enjoyed your long weekend.

A Week in Review:

  •  We worked more on our unit on Nursery Rhymes. We talked about “Jack and Jill” and “Humpty Dumpty.” We read and sang the poems as well as acting them out.
  •  We talked about the number twelve, 12. How do we write eleven, 12? Can we find 12 objects?
  • We talked about cubes. We looked at what shapes we put together to make a cube. We also found cubes in our classroom.
  • We worked closely with the letters Ll, Ff, Ee, and Hh. We practiced writing these letters with magna-doodles and finding the letters in our Nursery Rhyme journals.
  • Our sight-word this week was Like.  We wrote it with chalk and found the word while reading.
  •  We talked about the color we make when we mix blue and yellow together. We looked who was wearing the color and where we could find it in our classroom and outside.

What to Expect when we get back from Break:

  •  Library on Tuesday, Feb. 20th: Please have your child bring back their book so that they can check out a new one.
  • Letters: Tt, Ii, Uu, Cc
  • The number: Thirteen, 13
  • The shape: Cone
