Hello!
Thanks for all the participation you did for ZLS week! I personally love this week. It's so fun to see all the creative and wacky things people come up with! And did you hear that Preschool WON THE PENNY DRIVE for St. Jude's?!!! Not only did we win, but we were the only class that technically was in the positive for amount of money? That really meant to fewer people put silver coins in our jar than in the other jars. But because we won, we will get to have a snack party! I'm not sure what that snack is yet, but I'm sure the kids will like it. Also, Lilly in the morning session won a spirit award for her extra special participation in ZLS week. Victor won that award for our afternoon session. Congradulations!!
Just a quick reminder that we DO NOT HAVE SCHOOL THIS MONDAY, MARCH 9th. On Sunday, March 8th, we will have our Art Fair from 12:00-2:00. Not only will there be lots of art displayed, but there will also be some singing, piano playing and Forensics readings. It really will be an exciting day! I hope to see you there.
Speaking of the kids liking something, they really liked our song this week which was "Umbrella" by Laurie Berkner. From the first moment they heard it, they liked it. We also made a book called "Under My Umbrella." If you get a chance you can take a peek at it. It is in our book section. We also made some "stained glass" circles this week. Those will be hung in our windows this coming week. We will send them home at the end of the week. They were made with glue and paint. The kids did a good job of listening to Mrs. Seibert when they were making them.
This coming week we will be talking about rhyming words. We have started to talk about that already, but as I mentioned in my last blog, rhyming is extremely important to reading. That is one of the reasons there are so many picture books that rhyme. Because we are learning about rhyming we will be learning a couple different songs that rhyme. We will learn "10 Little Fingers That Love to Play" by Music for Littles, and "Humpty Dumpty." The children will also be bringing home a small book of Humpty Dumpty.
In Math we will be talking about all the shapes again. But most importantly, on Wednesday, it will be our 100th day of Preschool!! So all day on Wednesday, we will be counting up to 100, and doing things involving 100 in some way. So again, we have an exciting week coming up!
I hope you have a great week plus one day! God bless you!
