Preschool Newsletter

Week 5
Last week the gremlins got ahold of the newsletter and had it revert back to the previous week's information. The smore website is trying a new editor program and it doesn't take edits or changes very well yet. I will stick with the old, tried and true editor on smore from now on to hopefully keep it from happening again. I did go back and change it to the correct information if you want to look back and see what last week was about.
Picture day went off without a hitch...some had some nerves with going up on the stage and taking a picture, but they handled it like champs! Our Freedom Walk also went well, the highlight for the kids was the bus ride there and back.
This week is unit 3 and is all about "Social Me", so we will be talking about the skills we need to navigate interactions with others.
Our Vocabulary this week: sociable, cooperation, and curious.
Photo discussion cards: reading and setting the table.
For math we are starting to talk about the shape of things. We will be looking at different buttons that are all different shapes and colors.
This unit introduces our first calm down strategy, S.T.A.R breathing. Which stands for Stop, Take a deep breath And Relax. This the first of five calming strategies that Frog Street teaches us to help with self regulation and control.
