Pre-K Highlights September 16th – September 20th

Weekly Theme: Emotions and Feelings

Dear Pre-K families, We had an awesome first week of school! The children are adapting quickly to their new classroom and they have all made some new friends. This week we will be continuing our theme, “emotions and feelings.” We have a lot of exciting activities planned for this upcoming week. Starting on Monday we will be discussing respect, and how to treat our things. During centers we will be creating “emotion faces” on the tables using shaving cream. We will also be using our feelings yoga cards throughout the week, as well as our animal feelings dice game. As a class we will make a list of how to show our best manners everywhere we go. During science, we will make our own stress ball using a balloon and cornstarch! Finishing up the week, we will be celebrating International World Peace Day! You might hear your child talk about him/her being evaluated this week. We are starting evaluations on Monday and should be finished on Friday. This first evaluation is based on the following: Colors, shapes, recognizing numbers up to 30, recognizing both upper, and lowercase letters, counting in order, writing first names, knowing a few parts of a book, proper use of a pencil, and identifying our own name from a list. Evaluations will help us teachers know your child’s strengths and weaknesses academically.
