Week of 1/10 -1/14/11

THEME: SPACE

This week in Preschool we learn about the sun, planets and stars. We will make space scenes in Art, pretend to blast off in a rocket ship in Dramatic Play, play with astronauts, "moon rocks," and sand in the Sensory Table, and play with Planet Heroes in Blocks. We will make a night sky in our room using cups and flashlights. We will learn about the letter G. In Religion we will discover that a new baby is a gift from God, just like baby Jesus. We will also discuss how we were all babies at one time.

Monday, January 17 - No School - Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Since we are talking about babies in Religion this week, your child may bring in a baby photo and a baby item (such as a blanket, clothing, toy, etc.) to show to the class. We'll have a lot of fun sharing these items! Please send them on Wednesday or Thursday. Thank you!
