Hello preschool families! Students are enjoying our new classroom center system where they get to choose their favorite activities to participate in each day. Ask your child what their favorite center in our classroom is! We have a variety of centers to target all early learning skills, they include: dramatic play, math manipulatives, literacy, art and writing, sensory, blocks, and science and technology. We change the activities available every couple of weeks so the students stay engaged with their work and exploration.
For the past two weeks in preschool we have been studying arctic animals and where they live. For our arctic animals unit, we got to do fun activities like painting with ice, melting animals out of icebergs, practicing ABCs with cotton snowballs, exploring numbers by feeding arctic animals, and building igloos in the block center. The students even cooked food for arctic animals based on what the animals eat in the wild! We watched some videos about real life arctic animals including baby penguins and baby polar bears growing up. Next week, we have a short week, but I am very excited for the students to explore our new dramatic play center! I set up a dentist's office in our classroom to help our students learn about dental health and healthy choices! I will be sending home some resources to share with your kids on teeth brushing and a fun coloring sheet that your child can use to track how often they brush their teeth. Enjoy your long weekend and I will see you after MLK Day! :) Ms. McKay
