Good Evening Families,

November is off to a good start in Older Preschool. It is always exciting when all the centers change! We had our first parent volunteer today, thank you Sandra (Leandro's Mom) for coming in. We all loved having you and thank you for your help! If you want to volunteer in the classroom make sure to check in with Mrs. Lay.

We had one of our former students, who is now in 1st grade come in to read to our class on Monday. He read Elephant and Piggie: I Broke my Trunk. Once a Jack and Jill-er always a Jack and Jill-er ❤️

Our first spirit day was a success: Crazy Hair Day!

The books we read this week were: Froggy Builds a Treehouse & The Foot Book.

Centers

Listening Center: There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly

Playdough Table: Yellow with gems, cutters, and leaf shapes.

Dramatic Play: Bakery

Art Table: acorn craft & watercolor leaves.

Math: count the acorns and color & match the numbers with leaf stickers.

Science: bark, acorns, pinecones with magnifying glasses & sink/float.

Sensory Table: Hibernation.

Art Easel: build a treehouse, color feet(from the foot book), and acorn coloring sheet.

Writing Table: straight line tracing & tweezers with pom poms to outline letter F.

We added magnatiles to the puzzle & games center.

We also added paw patrol to the blocks.

**We are doing a friendship feast with our Tues/Thurs group on November 25th. Our class is making veggie stick cups. We are looking for donations of Veggie Stix. Two big bags should be plenty. Thank you so much if you can donate.
