Next week we will be learning all about Dr. Seuss! We will read several of his books, including The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, and 1 Fish 2 Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. We will make red and blue fish with our hand prints, try some green eggs, practice counting using colorful goldfish, make hats like the Cat in the Hat wore, and many more fun activities. On Friday, we will be celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday with cupcakes and party games! If you would like to donate any items for our party, please see Mrs. Oakley or Mrs. Taylor.

Thanks for an awesome week!

We LOVE PreK!

What a great week! We learned all about the letter Q...reading words such as queen, quarter, and quilt. We also read the story, Jack and the Beanstalk. Our kids had lots of fun walking around like a giant and yelling "Fe Fi Fo Fum!". On Thursday, we had class picture day! Our kidd-o's did a great job using their best manners to take our class picture. On FUN Friday, our kids made Valentine's for their parents/guardians. Look for those to come home next Tuesday!


James spelled his name with Valentine hearts!
Great Job!

Next week, we will be learning all about Valentine's Day. We will read the story Happy Valentine's Day Mouse by Laura Numeroff and make valentines for our friends. Our Valentine Party will be on Tuesday, Feb. 14th. Please feel free to send Valentines from your child for each of the students. Because of confidentiality, I can not send a list of student's names home, however I can let you know that we have 10 students in each session. During our party, we will be decorating valentine cookies, playing with pink and red shaving cream, and making valentine bags. As always, Ms. Lowe and I look forward to spending another week with your AWESOME children!
