We have had a great four weeks in Prek! It is amazing how much these little ones have already learned. We are still talking about school vocabulary (classroom, line up, potty, girl, boy, friends, etc). We are also learning to write our names, read sight words I, am, a, the, see, and count to 5. Check out these cute lady bugs your cuties made while learning to count! "We can count the parts of the ladybug: 5 spots, 2 eyes, 6 legs." 

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Please remember to return the  field trip inquiry form  in your child's folder this week. For more information on the exhibits please visit http://www.exploreum.com

Beginning of the Year Goals 

     Hi everyone, we have had an awesome start to the new school year. Thanks for your help getting the school year started. A few reminders, please have your child at school by 7:55 every day in order for us to get to breakfast on time. Also, in prek students do not need to wear belts to school. This can sometimes create a problem in the restroom. 

     For the next two weeks, we will be focusing on school procedures and behavior. Our language goals are to ask and answer questions with support, to recognize gender, and to understand common oral classroom directions(go potty, wash your hands, line up,etc). Our math goals are recognizing numbers 1-5 as well as vocabulary: same/different, big/little. Our literature goals are students recognizing their names, the difference between letters and numbers, and sight words "I" and "am". Students will also be starting their "specials" in the next few weeks. This includes the sensory room, P.E., library, music, and speech. 

Thanks again for your help. It's going to be a great year!
