More May Memories in Pre-K 2!

Hello Pre K Families,

There is definitely something in the air in the Pre-K room; I think the children can just sense our year coming to an end. Some of them are very excited for summer and some are starting to get a little sad, at the thought of leaving Jack & Jill. I keep reminding them how much they will love Kindergarten, and to take the wonderful memories we have created with them as they move along. Having said that, I am also seeing signs of senioritis in Pre-K!!

*** We will be celebrating summer birthdays in our classroom on THURSDAY 5/26 !! We have 4 friends to celebrate!

Here is what went on in the centers this week…

Art Easel- Watercolors

Discovery Table-. We made our own sensory bottles! I glued and taped the lids on, but please be aware there is glue inside.

Art Table- Zoo is for Zoo, Z if for Zinnia and Zebra masks.

Reading Street Book-

Our Reading Street book this week - Muncha, Muncha ,Muncha by Candice Flemming.

“That's the sound three hungry bunnies make when the sun goes down and the moon comes up and Mr. McGreely's garden smells yum, yum, yummy. While he's dreaming of his mouth-watering carrots, the bunnies are diving over fences and swimming trenches to get the veggies first!

Hammer, hammer, hammer, Saw!

That's the sound Mr. McGreely makes when the sun comes up and the moon goes down and he sees what those twitch-whiskers have done....Nibbled leaves! Empty stalks! Mr. McGreely will build something bigger and better, sure to keep even pesky puff-tails away.

Children will cheer for the bunnies -- or for Mr. McGreely -- as they delight in Candace Fleming's clever sound effects and G. Brian Karas's vibrant, funny illustrations.” We talked about the PLOT of this book. The children did a terrific job telling me PLOT ( beginning, middle and ending).

We are at the end of the Letter of the week curriculum. We will begin to review all of the letters next week, followed by a week of all things Eric Carle ( my personal favorite!)

SHOW AND TELL TUESDAY-Bring your favorite book to share, The children will be asked to say the title and give a brief description as to why they like it.

Warmly,

Miss Pascal
