It is hard to believe that we are already beginning May of our school year. Preschoolers will continue to review all their letters, shapes, numbers and colors. Our ELA, math, science and art projects coordinate with each of our weekly themes.
Our themes for spring are zoo animals, sea creatures, butterflies and their life cycle and community helpers.
Religion – May is the month we honor Mary. We join our school community in reciting a decade of the rosary each morning. We talk about ways we can be like Mary.
ELA – At circle time we review letter recognition and sound. Preschoolers go on letter scavenger hunts, go fishing for letters and participate in “I Spy” games to reinforce these skills.
Math – There is continued practice for numbers one through ten. Preschoolers use their math during snack time. The children recently sorted and stacked fruit loops onto pieces of spaghetti. Preschoolers will count and add applejacks to the arms of an octopus for our ocean theme. The children will identify, sort and count animal crackers during zoo week. We will make construction towers for community helpers week.
Science – Students participate in weekly experiments. Each child has hands on experience using pipettes and tweezers. We will go on virtual field trips to the zoo and sea aquarium. We will learn about butterfly symmetry and make finger painted butterflies. We thank Fr. Brad, Fr. John and Sr. Agnes for joining us for science and art time.
We get to sing and move to finger play songs each day. Preschoolers get to practice their counting and color recognition skills with these songs.
We are looking forward to fun filled learning activities in our weeks ahead!
God bless,
Mrs. Dynak
