Fun with food faces!

This week in Preschool our theme is MY FAMILY. We will make family trees, make "alphabet soup," make a class graph of family size, make Mat Man with our wood pieces, and share items found on our family scavenger hunt. We will play with the doll house, the gear set, legos, and beads. We will start our formal religion program and hear the story, "Let the Children Come to Me." - Don't forget Back to School Night, Mon. 8/29 at 6:00 pm, and No School on Labor Day, Mon. Sept. 5.

Week of 8/22 - 8/26/11

THEME: ALL ABOUT ME/MAKING NEW FRIENDS

This week in Preschool we will continue getting to know each other and getting used to our routines. We will make posters about ourselves in Art, which will be displayed in the classroom next week at Back to School Night. We will measure height and weight so that we can see how much we've grown by the end of the school year. We will make a fun "food face" snack with healthy foods. We will work on learning to recognize our names in print. The wood pieces used to form letters in our handwriting program will be introduced. In Religion we will continue to practice Catholic prayers and making the sign of the cross. We will be introduced to our Religion friends who we will learn about in stories throughout the year.

Well, it's that time of year again! I'm so excited for school to start, although my enthusiasm might not be shining through in this picture :). I promise to upload much better pics throughout the year of all of the precious preschoolers!

Our theme for Preschool this week is "MY NEW SCHOOL." We will be getting to know each other, our classroom, some of the faculty, and parts of the campus. We will play some fun games, learn a few songs, learn about the rules of our room and the playground, and begin to learn that we are a Catholic school and are fortunate to be able to learn about God every day.

We will begin to learn about our schedule and routines which, as you probably well know, kids this age just love. We will do some painting to create a class bulletin board and we will have lots of great manipulatives out to play with and explore.

Don't forget this coming Saturday, August 20 is the SPX Feast Day Celebration after 5:00 Mass. And Back to School Night will soon be here on Monday, August 29 at 6:00, beginning in the church.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful children with me. It's going to be an awesome year in Preschool!
