Ms. Tori’s Update 2-2-18

Hello Preschool Families!!  

    We hope that you enjoying your weekend.

A Week in Review:

  •  We worked more on our unit on Nursery Rhymes. We talked about “Mary Had a Little Lamb”, “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep”, “Jack Be Nimble”. We read and sang the poems as well as acting them out.
  •  We talked about the number ten, 10. How do we write ten, 10? Can we find 10 objects?
  • We worked closely with the letters Mm, Nn and Ww. We practiced writing these letters with magna-doodles and finding the letters in our Nursey Rhyme journals.
  • Our sight-word this week was is. We wrote it with chalk and found the word while reading.
  •  We talked about the color, Gray. 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:

  •  Letters: Xx, Yy, Zz
  • The number: Eleven
  • The shape: Cylinder  
  • The color:  Coloring Mixing – Orange
  • Sight words: Me
  • STEM Unit: Nursery Rhymes: We will be talking about the nursery rhymes: “Itsy Bitsy Spider”, “Little Miss Muffet”, “Muffin Man” and “London Bridge.”
