We have been having a lot of fun here in Pre-K! We are gearing up for the Christmas season and the kiddos are getting very excited! Although we are ready for Christmas and cannot wait to celebrate, we also are very busy learning! We have been working our way through our handwriting book and have been practicing our letter sounds. We have been doing a lot of  number identification practice and we are working really hard on our math units. They just finished learning to compare numbers! The last few weeks have been full of fun themes and activities. We learned about our 5 senses and did a taste test of sour, sweet, and salty! They really enjoyed that special activity! We are practicing hard for the Christmas program that is coming up very soon! We are so excited to share all the songs that we have been working on with our music teacher. It is an exciting time to be in Pre-K!

We have been busy here in KD! There has been so much learning and playing the last few weeks that it is hard to narrow down all the exciting things that have been happening! We learned all about apples! We learned the life cycle and what the parts of an apple are called. We also learned all the different things we can make with apples and got to have an “apple dipping party”! The kiddos thought the caramel and sprinkles were the best! We celebrated River City Round-up by dressing in our best Cowboy and Cowgirl costumes and had fun hosting our own rodeo with our barn yard animals. Everyone left a winner! We learned all about farms and what farmers and farms do for us. We made our own homemade butter by shaking heavy whipping cream! Boy! Our arms were tired! We learned all about our solar system and all the cool things that have been discovered. We made our own name rockets that are zooming through the night sky ready to explore! We have been very busy learning our letters and numbers along with some new and exciting math concepts. Right now, we are working on AB patterns and recognizing that we can make patterns out of anything. We are going to be learning all about community helpers next and we will be doing some fun fall themed activities, like our very own pumpkin patch! We are excited for the new season and all the new learning experiences to come!

It has been a busy first week here in Pre-Kindergarten! We got to meet all our new friends on Monday and it has been a blast getting to know all of our youngest SPSL panthers! We have been exploring all of the fun things in our classroom and practicing all of our new expectations in the classroom and these kiddos are rocking it! We took some time this week to learn all about “Red and Green Choices” and how they help us keep our friends, teachers, and families happy and safe! We made our own book about those green choices to share with our family. We have had a lot of opportunities to explore our centers in our classroom too. We have been able to practice our building  in our block center, we have been doing som pretend play in our ice cream shop, and  doing some creating in our art center. It is safe to say that center time is our favorite time of the day! We are going to have a fantastic year in Pre-K! Be on the look out for all the fun things we are doing here in KD this year!
