Our PreSchool Blog

We began reading our big book, Silly Sally, this week during our shared reading time.  We will continue this book through next week.  The students made their own books during reading groups this week called, Silly Town.  We will be finishing those by the end of next week.  The focus sight word this week, continues to be “is.”  I am so proud of all the students, they are working hard at home and at school on the sight words and it is paying off big time!  They are recognizing the words more quickly every day.  Way to go everyone!

We are collecting gently used shoes this week to share with the Soles4Souls shoe foundation.  These shoes will be distributed by the foundation all over the world to children and families who aren’t able to provide shoes for themselves or their families.  This doesn’t cost you thing, just a trip to the back of your closet.

Program on Wheels Visited our classroom on Friday with a wonderful program, How Does Your Garden Grow?  We learned about the parts of a plant and what plants need to grow.  We planted our own bean seed too!

Plants need Sun to Grow...see our leaves?

After reading our reading group book, Zoo Animals, we created a new page for the book by adding our own text and illustration.  We are all readers and writers!

We started our Shared Reading Activities on Monday in Pre-K!  The first book we’re reading in Brown Bear Brown Bear, What Do You See? We’re working on the parts of book (words and illustrations on each page), author, illustrator and title.  We will be searching for our sight words and much more.  We began reading Zoo Animals in Reading Groups this week and the sight word, is, was introduced on Monday.  Keep up with the homework activities four times per week!  This REALLY makes a difference in the growth and progress of your child.  Keep up the good work.

What's the Title of our Book?

We reread our book, Making Bubbles today and became the author to create a new sentence to add to the book.  We were blowing bubbles outside at recess so decided to add ourselves to the book (WE ARE BLOWING BUBBLES.)  We cut the sentence apart and took turns recognizing the words and putting the sentence back together.  Nice work everyone!

We began reading Making Bubbles by Bruce Larkin on Monday in reading groups.  We reviewed and continued to work on the sight word, the.  Once your child masters the, a and I, add the words go and no to your at home practice.
