Indian Creek Pre-K News
April 10-April 14
Reminders
NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY APRIL 14 and 17th. Friday is Good Friday and a School Holiday. The 17th was a bad weather day that we did not use. So we get a quick break- please take time to enjoy your family.
WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
Language: Children will be able to identify the beginning sound of bugs names. We should be able to name all letters and the vowel letters-a,e,i,o,u. Please continue to review the letters and sounds at home. We will be playing the game Make It, Break It. In this game we will say a word like "bug" then we will break it a part. We will say the first sound and leave the rest of the word in tact- /b/-ug. We are verbally teaching blending of words and we will review rhyming and segmenting words. This becomes a skill as we head toward reading. We are making a portfolio of written work.
Math: Your child will be able to rote count to 30 (4 year olds) and rote count to 10 (3 year olds) and starting on measurement. We will be measuring each child's height. We will be working with words-tall,taller, tallest, short, shorter, shortest. We are also continuing to review all our shapes and colors.
Social Studies: Your child will be learning about different environments on our planet. We will look at the farm habitat and the jobs the people do on a farm. We are looking for how people are the same and different.
Science:Your children have been learning the importance of insects and how they help and hurt our environment . We have had terrariums with rollie pollies (pill bugs/sow bugs) for about 2 weeks. This week we will have pray mantises, lady bugs, and caterpillars for a butterflies. We will be releasing our ladybugs on Thursday. We will continue watching our barn bug habitats and later on large wild animal habitats.
FIELD DAY WILL BE IN MAY
WE NEED:YOU! We are looking for 5 to 6 adults to come help - you must be cleared through the volunteer background check . On the day of our event you must go through the office and show your drivers license. We need parents to help run the field games. Like tug of war, relay races, and water stations.
More information will be coming on this event!
We will be doing field games on the big field. Our PK students will be outside for big part of the day. They will need sunscreen already applied-teacher can NOT apply to your child. We ask on that day our students dress in fun run yellow shirts, shorts, tennis shoes. This is a lot of fun!
