Pre-K
Family Newsletter October 31, 2012
This is the last week of
our Family Theme in class. The kids have done a nice job taking on roles and
for the most part, staying in them, during our center time. Here's a group working on the car engine in "the garage"....
I hope you have
enjoyed discussing the “play plans” that come home with your student once a
week. The kids should be able to tell you about the picture they drew, which
center they went to, and “who” they were. Look for details beyond the stick
figures, beginning to emerge in their work. Many are working on their messages,
so re-reading that part together, would be much appreciated. In our pre-k world
we draw a line for every word in our messages, so you can also anticipate kids
“reading” their lines to you. Mrs. Peavey and I write the words in, but
eventually you will see your kids start to write initial sounds and more on the
lines. A very exciting time!
Our centers will begin to
transform into Restaurants next week, and we will start pretending to be cooks,
dishwashers, customers, etc. The kids will help decide which restaurants will
be in our centers – usually local favorites are chosen. After that, we may
request to borrow props from home that support these cuisines, so stand by!
Some important November
dates to keep in mind:
Tuesday, November 6th
– no school. It’s a professional development day for RSU1 teachers.
November 20, 21, 22 – no
pre-k this week for the Thanksgiving holiday. However, November 20th
is when we will hold Parent Conferences for our class. Sign up times will be
posted soon.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bridgman and Mrs.
Peavey
P.S. Halloween Day with your kids was wonderful - thanks for sharing them with us!
