Dear Moms and Dads,

We had a fantastic first week at preschool! We have already started learning so much! Our theme was “Welcome to Preschool!” and we discovered that preschool is a fun place to learn and that our room is made of learning centers, each with a specific purpose. We created a routine for our room to run smoothly and practiced how to rotate from center to center. It was hard at first, but we are really starting to get the hang of it!

Our letter of the week was A for apple, alligator! We practiced saying, “A is for alligator, A, A, A” to learn the sound A makes. We sang The Ants go Marching and learning lots of finger poems bout apples too. We tasted red and green apples and voted on which one we liked more. More friends voted for the green apples! We cut apples in half and made apple prints with paints. Did you know if you put a magic spell on an apple and then cut it half you will see a star? A is also for Addy and she was our Letter Friend of the Week. We interviewed her and then spelled her name with a great big cheer! Read the rest of this entry »
