The preschool prep class was able to go on a fall leaf hunt this week! We found leaves from maple trees, birch trees and oak trees. We sorted them by color, size and shape!

The Preschool Prep class has been doing such a great job in small groups this month! We have been focusing on the letters A and B, numbers 1 and 2, the color yellow and the circle. We have also been doing a lot of name building activities!
We had our first music class with Ms. Joanie this past week. We really enjoyed singing and learning about the guitar!
Our first week in Preschool Prep has been a blast! We have been learning our way around the classroom, playing with new centers and meeting new friends!
The K Prep class has been learning about sound this month…vibrations, pitch, and sound waves to name a few.
-The students learned that sounds are made from vibrations. They were able to see how this works first hand! We put plastic wrap on a glass bowl and added some sugar crystals on top. We found that if we talked very closely to the sugar, it would start moving!
-To explore high and low pitch, we made our own songs using water glasses. We even wrote our own music and each played our song to the class!
-We made our own telephones to show how sound waves work!
We have been exploring and learning all about light in the K Prep classroom. We made our own rainbows with water, light and a mirror. We experimented with the meaning of translucent and non translucent. We tested out some of our theories by pointing a flashlight at the different objects to see if the light shined through! We also explored shadows and how they move as the light moves. We concluded our exploration by going outside to trace our friends’ shadow on a beautiful sunny day.
This week we learned about a favorite farm animal in our classroom: the horse! We were able to gallop like horses and make horseshoe prints as well!
We have been working hard to strengthen our fine motor skills in the preschool room! Since we just visited Sunrock Farm, we added a farm animal twist to the lesson this week!
The Kprep class has been learning about the parts of a plant, the plant life cycle, what a plant needs to survive and how to grow our very own plant! The students have made individual “Green house’s” and have planted their very own grass seed! We added some crazy faces to our cups so that when grass grows, it will look like our hair!
We are excited to see some results!
The KPrep class is going to be doing a daily journal entry for the rest of the year! Today we asked them to draw or write something they did over the weekend. A couple of our friends were able to share their entries with the class!
“I barfed!”
