We took advantage of our smaller groups today and paired each of our KPrep students up with a Preschool Prep student. The buddies worked together to build big shapes with smaller shapes over in the Kprep room! The preschool preppers were so excited to come visit the big room and have a big buddy to get to know. Then we marched over to the preschool prep room with our buddies and the little guys got to share their favorite centers with the older kids. We had fun with our buddies today!!
We practiced our cutting skills today in preschool and made a fun creation out of it!
We celebrated our January Literacy Party this week with the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff.
We read the story and then wrote a fun journal response!
We made our own cute mice to take home!
To practice some counting skills, we counted cookies up to 8.
And then we enjoyed our very own cookie and milk snack!
We have been so busy this month with our alphabet study! This month we have been working on the letters M, N, and O. In addition to letter recognition, we are working very hard on learning letter formation and the sound the letter makes.
We practice building letters using various materials like M&Ms.

The K Prep class has been studying the artist Henri Matisse this week as we work on one of our Art Show projects. We learned that Matisse not only loved to paint with bright colors, but later in his life “painted” with his scissors. We tried our hand today at his unique style. We have some creative artists in our class!

You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch!! Our preschoolers enjoyed a fun day filled with activities all about the story How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
We read the story and did a journal response on how we would make the Grinch smile! We also showed off our best grinchy faces!
“To make the Grinch smile I would throw him a party!”
“To make the Grinch smile, I would go in the hot tub and eat lollipops with him!”
We made Grinch Dust to sprinkle in our yards to keep the Grinch away on Christmas eve.
We played Pin the Heart on the Grinch.
And we ended the day with Popcorn and the movie! So much fun!

Preschoolers got to have a special gingerbread day last week. We read 2 gingerbread books, decorated a gingerbread picture, and even got to decorate and eat a gingerbread cookie which was everyone’s favorite part. We graphed what each person bit off first and the majority of students took a bite from his head first! We had a fun day and really enjoyed our special cookie treat!
Measuring reading, writing, ordering by size and more!
In preschool, we have been learning about The First Thanksgiving and what it may have been like for kids their age back then versus what they are like now. We learned why they had a feast that very first Thanksgiving and we prepared our very own feast to enjoy! Students practiced using a butter knife to cut strawberries, bananas, and oranges. We learned to snap the “yucky” ends of the green beans. Using a lot of arm strength, we made our very own butter by shaking cream… for a long time… We crushed up graham crackers for our pie crust and we even made our very own bread in a bag. On Tuesday, we enjoyed the fruits of our labor and got to eat all of the yummy food!
