Toddler II & Pre-School I
We trust that you have enjoyed hearing about our animal friends. We will be learning about two to three new animals each month. Our preschool activities include both indoor and outdoor play times. The indoor play time is a time of learning to play and share with others. Fresh air and the outdoor activities on the playground equipment help to develop healthy bodies. October will be a wonderful month of learning in our class. We learned to recognize basic shapes and numbers, and we are counting 1-15. The children have enjoyed working on fun crafts, such as painting the paper-plate clown, while learning to follow step-by-step instructions.

Pre-Kindergarten
The weather is chilling. There is excitement in the air! This is the season for the fair. No doubt your child will soon receive a "free' ride at school on his teacher's Ferris wheel. The children love to pretend they have a ride when they can tell the correct answer about a letter or number to their teacher. Children love games, and the repetition they get is essential to proper learning. The children are settled into the routine of school. Some of the rooms have begun a class science project. Several classes will plant some seeds. The children are eagerly awaiting the first sign of green to appear. Writing is a special time each day. Aren't they proud of their work? It is so much fun that some of the children want to write letters rather than draw when free art time comes.
Transitional Kindergarten
During the month of October, we will be doing Fall and Halloween art. We will also be learning more character values and community helpers. We are learning new phonics words, rhyming words, and a new poem. We will continue to count to 100 and go over our multiplication numbers 10’s and 5’s. We are also starting to count and learn about money, who’s on it, and how much it’s worth. Please remember to check your child’s folder in the classroom everyday at pick up time for important papers.
