Having Fun In Pre-K 1!: Finally Catching up a bit....

We sure have been busy! We began a new unit all about Community this week and were lucky enough to have Mr. Spillman come talk to us about his job in our school community.We learned so much about how important his job is! We also talked about the many things in our community that we visit such as the post office, grocery store, park and library. We are really enjoying this unit so far.We also worked on the letter Uu during center time and at the writing table. We are doing such a great job with our letters!

We have loved playing in our pretend grocery store that is set up in our dramatic play area too! Of course, in honor of Thanksgiving next week, we had to put some Thanksgiving fun in there as well. Our sensory table is full of cranberries to sort, count and examine with friends. We learned all about cranberry bogs in technology and we get to have a pretend one in class as well! So fun! In our science center we used our light table to examine gel bags full of corn kernels and beans. It was so fun moving them around inside the gel and seeing what they looked like on the light table. Learning can be so much fun!

Just a reminder, our Thanksgiving Show is TUESDAY at 9:00 in the gym. After the show there will be a feast in the cafeteria with the Preschool and Kindergarten classes to kick of Thanksgiving break. Dismissal is following the feast. There is no lunch or extended day offered on Tuesday. Please be sure to let us know when you are leaving so we know everyone is safe and accounted for! We look forward to seeing you there!

Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks so you can see all the fun we have been having learning and playing!
