It is hard to believe that we have a few weeks left 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 theme.  Our themes for spring are zoo animals, sea creatures, butterflies and their life cycle, community helpers and the five senses.

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.  During circle time, we match pictures to their beginning sound.

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. They counted and added applejacks to the arms of an octopus for our ocean theme. We identified, sorted and counted 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.  Our favorite Science activity was making sea foam and finding the hidden sea creatures in the foam. We enjoyed using our pipettes in our fizzing baking soda butterfly cocoon experiment. We took virtual field trips to the zoo and sea aquariums.  We learned about butterfly symmetry and made finger painted butterflies.

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 seeing all our preschool families at the preschool farewell!

God bless,

Mrs. Dynak and Miss Chris
