FUN RUN INFORMATION and SHIRTS
Congratulation FULL DAY PK! They are currently 2nd in the school. Please go register your child on FUNRUN.Com- Your child will get a prize from Boosterthon just for registering. The reason for registration is a photo release and waiver. Our classes would like to win the prize for most registered students. We would like to meet our school goal of $20,000- so we are counting on your support. We can do it and last year all of our PK students did the 35 laps. They were having so much fun and did not realize how far they ran.
We are still accepting money for the FUN RUN SHIRTS! $5.00. These shirts will be used the day of the fun run. Each grade level is a certain color, and with PK being outside with two other grade levels, the bright yellow shirt will help teachers spot PK students and help ensure their safety. Please click on the link included in this email to fill out an order form as soon as possible! Thanks for your help and support!
FYI- We will reuse them again for field day in the late Spring.

What We Are Learning in Unit 8
We starting Unit 8 -Traditional Tales and Whole/Part/Whole. This unit is about knowing different ways of communicating one's thinking and how important it is to make good decisions, knowing similarities in all things and people, seeing how things can be taken apart and/or put together again, and how using tools can help us learn. Best of all we are going to read a lot of fairy tales and nursery rhymes.
Our Main Goals this unit:
Language: Children will be able to identify the begin sounds of the letters. Our children will be working on classic Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes, sequencing classic stories of The Three Little Pigs , Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Three Billy Goats Gruff and Jack and the Beanstalk. We will be sequencing the alphabet and working on beginning sounds of words.
Math: Your child will be working on measurement. You child will be exposed to the word area. In pre-k we keep things simple. Area is what can be covered up such as an area rug. In later weeks we will be able to recognize how much can be placed within an object- volume. We will be filling different containers with a variety of items. This is the exploration of the concept of volume.
Social Studies: Your child will be working on recognizing differences between people and cultures.
Science: Your child will learn to use tools for planting in small containers. We will make observations of a lima bean and how it becomes a plant.
