We have had such a fantastic year. I am so thankful for each of your children, and I am also thankful for your support and love throughout the year! The last day of preschool is Wednesday, May 21.
Join us for "Popsicles at the Park" on Thursday, May 22 from 9:00 - 11:00 am at Laurel Park. Just to clarify, if your child would like to come and play on this day, a parent, grandparent, etc. needs to be in attendance the entire time your child is at the park. Come and play with your preschool friends and enjoy some yummy popsicles to kick off the summer!
Our friends were very excited to see a new center today! We created with bamboo sticks and pool noodles! We were sure to be careful to not poke ourselves or our friends! This activity promotes fine motor growth and creative thinking.
We were also excited to have the magna tiles back in our room!
In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we read some books in Spanish! I taught the friends a few Spanish words. They were very interested in learning more Spanish, so we will continue to learn more words during these last few weeks of school.
Happy Sports Team Day!!
During small group time we webbed what we know about food. We will compare this web to what we webbed during phase one of the project to see how much we have learned!
We then practiced writing in our journals.
Some friends practiced strengthening their fine motor skills through tracing.
Some friends began to sound out and write words on their own.
Some friends practiced reading familiar words.
Some friends recognized the letters in the words.
Some friends recognized the different lines that are used to make letters. ("This one has two long straight lines and one short straight line.")
During Jesus time, we read the story of Pentecost. The children loved the part when the disciples start to speak in different languages. They told me, "Just like the books we we read in Spanish!" We learned that the languages split so the people could tell everyone about Jesus' love. He loves us so much that He died on the cross and rose again to save us from our sins! We learned that one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is Baptism. If your child is not baptized, we would love to have him/her baptized here at Zion! Please contact me for more information.
