Pre-K Highlights
April 1st – April 5th
Weekly Theme: Space
Weekly Letter: Ss
Weekly Number: 1-20 review
Hello Pre-K families!
This week we will learn all about Outer Space. We will learn the names of the 8 planets, facts about our moon, discuss the job of an astronaut, and watch videos of astronauts in space. We will also create a mini reader planet book, make a space craft, play a space matching game, and sing songs about the planets.
This week we will learn our last letter Ss. We have saved this letter for last because for most students, it is the hardest letter to properly form. We will learn how to properly form this letter using different tools such as play-doh, sand, pencils, and markers. We will create a list of words that start with S for our word wall. Students will also have fun “shaking their sillies out” during movement time.
We will continue to review numbers 1 through 20. Our class has been doing a wonderful job adding with numbers zero, one, and two. Keep up the great work! This week we will introduce sequencing. We will learn about ordinal numbers while sequencing different scenarios such as planting a flower, the life cycle of a butterfly, and making a bowl of cereal.
