Back to School

We had an amazing first week of school this week! Starting preschool can be a rough transition and everyone did really well!

During the first week we spend a lot of time learning and practicing our rules and procedures. If you want to talk to your child about the preschool rules, they are:

 We will listen and follow directions
We will be kind to others
We will do our best every day
We will raise our hand to talk
We will take care of our things
We will talk quietly
We will use good manners


Another important aspect of the first week of preschool is for the kids to learn to recognize their own name. We have done several projects with our names such as salt art and making our names out of playdough. Starting next week the kids will be tracing their names daily in preparation to be able to write their name on their own!


We have also played a lot of fun games this week! We've done a few matching games, puzzles and getting to know you games!


This week was also the first week of our body unit! We learned 'Head, Shoulders, Knees' and toes and made sure the kids knew all the major body parts. On Thursday everyone got to be traced and draw themselves!
