Last Week Before Spring Break!


Next week is the last week before spring break.  Our theme is Easter and we will be learning letter Ee for egg.  It will be a week filled with lots of fun activities such as painting eggs, going on an egg hunt, and on Thursday we will have a small Easter party. The head room parents will contact you if you signed up to donate.  We are trying to keep this party small and simple by just having a snack as it is a crazy week with lots of activities.

Please send in 20 FILLED eggs with your child before Thursday.  They will also need a basket or bag for our egg hunt on Thursday.

I hope everyone has a great Spring Break!  School will resume on April 8th.

**Looking Ahead:  There is an Early Release on April 10th.  IPS dismisses at 2:15 PM.  However preschool will follow their regular schedule and any parent who wishes to pick up their child may do so.

Spring is here?!

With the all of the snow that is falling outside it may not look like spring...but that is not stopping us from making it look like spring inside!
This week we learned about weather and the season of spring. We painted clouds, made rainbows, and sang Mr. Sunshine hoping it would bring some spring like weather outside.  Mother Nature is making it difficult to teach the young ones about spring when she keeps bringing us this winter weather!
We learned letter Uu for umbrella and also have been working on writing and sequencing numbers 1-10.

Happy 1/2 Birthday to Kylie!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Lucky the Leprechaun was in our classroom this week.  He is such a clever and sneaky little fella but was kind enough to leave everyone a pot of gold!  This week we learned about and maps and explored all different types including weather maps, treasure maps, and a map of Ireland.  Thank goodness the treasure map led is to the right place to find our treasure box that Lucky took. I am sure the kids were excited to come home and tell you about this one!
Letter L was our letter of the week and we finished our last number....the BIG 1- 0, TEN!  We have continue to work on rhyming words and the PM class has added more words to the sigh word list.  To make our St. Patrick's Day complete, we painted green shamrocks and listened to the ibook of Green Eggs and Ham using the SMARTBoard to project the story from our iPad.  Gotta love technology and the itunes gift cards the kids have given me the past few years!
