March in Pre K

 

During the month of March we were busy celebrating Read Across America and Dr. Seuss's birthday. They were so many reading activities.  We dressed as our favorite character from a book and had a character parade. Also, had readers come to our school and read.   

Also, in the month of March we started to talk about the season of Spring. We planted green beans. We are studying how they grow and what they need to live. In Spring the weather starts to change and we learning all about the weather. We observed clouds while playing outside. We explored shaving cream and pretending to write our names in the clouds. We imagined how a cloud would feel if we were able to touch one.

100th day of school

                                                      100th day of school celebration.

Friday February 9th was our 100th day of school. We have learned and grew in 100 days. We counted to 100. During small group we worked together to come up with what we could build with 100 blocks. As a team we decided to build city with 100 blocks. Also, we  stacked a hundred solo red cups to see what 100 looked like. During morning meeting we answered the question I wish I could have 100 of...

Then we joined Kindergarten through third grade for a 100 dance party. We danced to various 100 day songs as well as dance moves from 1920's through today.  The classes dressed up like what they think they would wear in 100 years.

Here are some photos of our celebration.

Pre k was busy exploring our world

 Pre K was busy exploring our world.  We worked our our fine motor skills during Christmas by wrapping objects from the classroom. Pre k is  working  on using pattern blocks to create Christmas pictures, and learning shapes.  We are working on floor puzzles.  We worked on waiting our turn and following directions playing a game of musical chairs. Starting in the new year we introduced sight words. The first sight word is the word I. We used our fingers to draw in gel the sight word I.

Election day

 

Pre K was learning about election day and who we vote for and why we vote. We read the books Duck for President and Froggy for President. Then we talked about how when we vote we go into a booth and cast our vote. 

Pre K held an election for their favorite cookie they like to eat at snack time. We had ballots with a picture of chocolate chip cookie and an Oreo. Then we went behind a booth and checked off which cookie we liked the best. Then folded it an put it in the ballot box. After everyone voted we counted the ballots.  The results were 2 for Chocolate Chip cookies and 7 for Oreos.   

We enjoyed Oreos for our snack.  

Here are some pictures of us voting on Election day

Fire Truck Visit

 

We enjoyed a visit from the Woodbridge Fire Dept. We learned about how to be safe when there is a fire. They taught us to dial 9-1-1 if there is an emergency.  Stop, Drop, and Roll if our clothes catch fire. They showed us the fire truck and let us spray the hose.

Here are a few pictures of our visit.
