Welcome Winter!

Happy New Year and Welcome back to PreK. Ms. Lowe and I hope that you and your family had a wonderful holiday season and a restful break. With that said, we are back in full swing here at PreK. This week we worked on transitioning back to our school routine. We practiced walking in a line, sitting for small group and large group activities, and following simple directions like raising our hand. We also reviewed our colors, shapes, and ABC’s. Check out the videos below to review these concepts with your child at home.

Next week we will be learning all about nursery rhymes and the letter W. We will read rhymes like Humpty Dumpty, Jack and Jill, and Baa Baa Black Sheep. We will also continue to learn about winter, specifically winter clothing. We will read the story The Mitten by Jan Brett and make a collage of winter clothing.
