Preschool News March 28th-April 1st
Dear Parents:
Last week the students learned about “heavy and light”. The children did several exercises and experiments with different weights. One of the exercises they enjoyed was piggy-back riding; also they enjoyed sorting heavy and light objects with their eyes blinfolded.
I believe that you already saw the tracing activities we did in class during this past week. The main reason for doing these exercises is to develop good writing habits in the children. Vertical lines need to start at the top, and horizontal lines begin at the left side. Circles follow a counterclockwise direction. Please encourage these good habits at home.
This week we will introduce community helpers. We will be focusing on helpers within the healthcare community including: doctors, nurses, and veterinarians. We will have our very own clinic in the classroom for our dramatic play center and we need a doctor's toy set. If you have one, please let us borrow it. The children can leave the toys in the classroom all week.
Reminders:
Report cards were sent home on Friday. Please sign the empty envelope and send it back to school.
Next Wednesday April 6th is an early dismissal for all the students(11:45 a.m.) Teachers will be working on curriculum.
