It is hard to believe that soon we will be having our Thanksgiving holiday. Christmas is just around the corner and we will continue to keep busy learning in preschool. Preschoolers will continue to practice letter recognition and sound with weekly themes. Our English language arts, math and art projects coordinate with each theme.
Religion – The season of Advent begins on Sunday, December 1st. We will attend weekly prayer service during the season of Advent with our school community.
ELA – At circle time we review letter recognition and sound. Each week students engage in related songs, games and activities.
Math – There will be continued practice for numbers one through ten with math centers. Each student participates and puts their counting skills into practice. The preschoolers engage in games that include finding items in the classroom and then the students count and make pairs/matches. The children participate in color activities that include sorting cereal by color or using dot stickers to match to the coordinating item. These activities help them to continue to develop their fine motor skills.
Science – Students participate in weekly experiments. Preschoolers are able to make their predictions and observations. Each child has hands on experience using pipettes and tweezers. These experiments include volcanic eruptions, sink or float and using measuring cups and spoons to make “soup.”
Art – There are weekly art projects for each season and theme. The preschoolers make items with puffy paint, clay and coffee filters. The children use a variety of learning tools that include pom poms or plastic forks to paint with or marbles during process art. Each piece of artwork is unique and a masterpiece. These are proudly displayed monthly in the classroom before going home for families to enjoy.
We look forward to more fun learning activities in the months to come.
God bless,
Mrs. Dynak
