We had our first reading groups in PreK class today. The children have gotten off to a GREAT start! I can’t wait to see them grow and develop their literacy skills over the next nine months!

The PreK students had the opportunity to participate in a fundraising event to aid in the research for a cure for Parkinson’s Disease. The children raised a wonderful amount of money which was matched by Creative Tots and presented at the Sunflower Revolution Ride on Sunday the 12th. Way to go kids! These types of opportunities are a great chance for you to help your child gain a perspective outside of their own little world and begin to open their eyes to others who may be in need. Great Life Lesson. Our wonderful Art Teacher’s husband, Ron “aka Mr. Ron” who suffers from Parkinson’s Disease, dropped by the bike-a-thon in his racing gear to show his appreciating for the children’s efforts. He and Ms. Penny were VERY grateful for all of our financial support.

The students were introduced to a recipe in the Tuesday afternoon class and used it along with Ms. Courtney’s help to create their own play dough. The recipe was sent home and is super easy! Great idea for a rainy afternoon.
During small groups today, the students began to prepare for the homework that they will be doing in a few weeks. They used letter tiles to build their name then wrote their name independently. This will be one of the activities that will be in their homework folders that will be sent home after Parent Orientation Night.
Young children need opportunities to develop their bodies and coordination by running, jumping, climbing, lifting, pushing, and pulling. Physiological readiness precedes other learning. The playground is a natural place for physical development as well as for social and emotional development. You children need challenging playground experiences to develop early self-confidence along with large-muscle skills and coordination.
The PreKers worked hard over the past two days to get our room ready for our very own Sunflower Revolution with beautiful artwork! Nice work everyone!
