Ms. Tori’s update 10-2-17

Hello Preschool Families!!  

We hope that you are enjoying your weekend. Don’t forget that Parent-Teacher Conferences start on Monday, October 2nd. I excited to meet with you.

A Week in Review:

  •    We talked about how our pets can help us. They can help us to feel calmer and help in emergencies.
  •    We talked about the number five, 5. How do we write 5? Can we find 5 objects?  Is there a poem to remember how to write the number 5?
  •   We worked closely with the letter Uu and Cc. We created them with the wood pieces and playdough. We also looked at words that start Uu and Cc. 
  • We talked about the color, Purple. We looked who was wearing the color and where we could find it in our classroom and outside. We sang this song about the colorPurple:

PURPLE
