Hello Pre-K Families!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! This week our Letter of the Week is /Hh/ and it is also our Halloween theme week. We are certainly going to have a fun week!
Incorporated within our STEAM curriculum we will continue to explore patterns, along with our number 5/five, with the weekly theme of Halloween. We will be using several manipulatives, have sensory pulp exploration and practice creating bar graphs this week. Our math activities will include graphing, measuring the pumpkin and counting seeds.
Other fun educational activities this week include our I-Spy letter find sheets, Halloween Bingo, a spider web fine motor activity, spider handprint craft and dancing to Laurie Berkner’s “Monster Boogie” song.
Our Halloween parade will be on Wednesday at 10:45am. Our class Halloween Party will follow later that day, from 1:30pm-3pm. I have sent you an email via Sign-Up Genius for items needed for our celebration or here is the link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A084FAEAD2FA6FF2-halloween
I also would like to extend a big WELCOME to Joey Isabella, she will be joining our class this week and our TCLA family. We can’t wait!
Thank you!
Warmly,
Mrs. M
