A God's Gifts PreKindergarten Classroom Update 10.24.2016
Pumpkins Pumpkins Everywhere!!
Dear Parents-
We had a wonderful fall week, and continue to have a lot of fun in Pre-K!!
A couple highlights:
- The class loved learning all about pumpkins and doing pumpkin activities.
- We practiced tracing the letter Pp on sandpaper, learning the sign for pumpkin and the letter P, and singing our letter P song!!
- I have loved watching their independence grow as they become more comfortable in the classroom. They are earning so many warm fuzzies by sharing, helping, and following our rules!! Go Team Wolcott!!

Letter of the Week
Our letter this past week was the letter "Pp". We learned the sound that Pp" makes, words that begin with that sound/letter and how the letter is shaped. We stamped, traced, and recited pumpkin word plays.
Math
In math the kids had a lot of fun using pumpkins as a counting tool. We counted the ribs, measured the size, and predicted if pumpkins sink or float!! We also reviewed our colors and shared with the class our favorites.
Police Officer Visit
Macey's stepfather who is an officer in Aurora visited out classroom this week. He spoke to the children about "Stranger Danger" , and what to do if they are approached by somebody they don't know. The kids loved playing "Police Officer" in dramatic play!
