Full Day Preschool-November 14th, 2021

Looking Back…
*Dental Health was our theme this week and we attended an awesome presentation.  We learned all about brushing and flossing and the foods that are good for our teeth!
*We participated in our first Lockdown Drill and did a great job practicing being quiet in our safe spot.
*Iguanas were our letter project and our Jolly Phonics song told us the story of Inky, the mouse, who got spilled the ink:). Each week we  also review our previously learned letters/sounds.
*We learned all about the color brown and took a Fall walk to find lots of things that are brown, especially fall leaves.  It is fun to see all the color of the week clothing that the preschool kids proudly wear on our special days.
*This week, for the first time, we visited our 6th Grade Buddies in the Junior High wing of the school.  We made cornucopias and talked about what we were grateful for this season.  It was exciting to see their classroom!
*Fiona, our Cool Cat of the Week, did a great job.  It is so much fun to learn all about all the Cool Cats in our class.
