Welcome to Advanced Pre-K!
We have started the year with an All About Me unit and the students have had so much fun learning about each other and themselves. We have really enjoyed their first sharing times and the kids have done a great job standing up and sharing with the class. We started having our 'classroom helper of the day' this week and all of the students are very excited about their turn to help!
We started our Handwriting Without Tears workbooks and the students adjusted very well to sitting at tables for "kindergarten practice." I am a big believer in the benefits of this curriculum when it comes to both reading and math skills... and of course, handwriting! Your kids will come home and tell you that they worked on the muscles in their hands during "kindergarten practice." We also began singing several of the songs that go along with this curriculum. Ask your kids to sing for you at home!
In September we will be learning about apples in science and will make apple juice in class. We will also be learning about all of the fun animals we will see at Babby Farms. Our math centers will revolve around making patterns with shapes and the numbers 5 and 7. We will work on several letters in class and will be perfecting how we hold our pencil for successful writing! Your kids are already doing an amazing job at this. Please make sure when they use pencils, markers, or crayons at home they are holding them correctly. We want to cultivate good habits for Kindergarten success. If you would like me to go over the best way to pick up and hold a pencil with you, just ask! :)
Looking forward to seeing you all on our field trip to Babby Farms and please text, call, email, or stop by the classroom if you have any questions!
