Hello preschool families! As the seasons begin to change, the preschool classroom is following right along.
This week we have been talking all about apples! We have a great mentor text, The Apple Pie Tree, by Zoe Hall which tells the story of how an apple grows. Students have been creating their own apple crafts and have gotten an introduction to the letter A. If you have been hearing some new songs at home, it's probably because we spend a lot of time singing in preschool! One rhyme and song I taught the children is called Five Little Apples. It's a finger counting song that the preschoolers love to act out. We also sang a silly song that helped us play with the sounds we hear in words called Apples and Bananas. Next week we will be doing some apple investigating as part of a science lesson where we will use our senses (taste, sight, smell, touch, and hearing) to see what we notice about apples. I hope you are all enjoying some fun fall activities when your child is home from school, I know I am and I love to hear the preschoolers talk about their favorite experiences! :) Ms. McKay

Dear Preschool Families,
Welcome to preschool at Middleton Elementary! I am so excited to have another year of learning underway. The first two days of preschool have gone amazingly! I have enjoyed meeting all my new students and look forward to meeting a couple more as the month goes on. Thank you to parents that have already sent in your beginning of the year paperwork, please remember to send in this information as soon as possible if you have not already. A couple important reminders for parents as we begin the year: students should come with a healthy snack and a water bottle or drink each day. Many kids find themselves getting thirsty throughout the day, especially as we are spending time outside on the warmer days. Please remember to send your child's folder back to school each day so I can send home reminders and your child's work. While MES does not have a required school supplies list, some helpful things our classroom always needs are: liquid/foam soap dispensers as our students can't always reach the school installed soap and baby wipes for our little messes. As always, thank you for allowing me to teach your little ones and I look forward to learning more about our preschoolers and their families! :) Ms. McKay |
