The Toddlers have been reading “Color Farm” by Lois Elhert during group time. Each day the children review the shapes and colors throughout the book. Today we focused on the color orange because it is the color of the month! The boys and girls found different objects around the room and placed them on the matching mat. Look at what they found!
We used shapes today to identify our sight words in our new book, Leaves Fall Down. Look for this book to come home Thursday or Friday in your child’s backpack. This will be a great book to pull out during your nightly reading time together! We are reviewing the sight word the and is. We are also working on the word this during reading groups this week.
The preschoolers have been practicing the correct way to hold scissors. Friday they were able to start cutting snips of paper. We made fringe on a chinese lantern then practiced our crayon grip while coloring the lantern.
The preschoolers have been reading, reading, reading! We filled up our classroom marble jar and had a celebration in pajamas with our favorite bedtime stories and pancakes.
The preschool and Pre-K families took a ride to the pumpkin patch at Iron’s Fruit Farm yesterday. We trekked through the muddy fields in search of the perfect pumpkin! Some were round, some were tall, some were big and some were small! What did your perfect pumpkin look like?
We introduced the letter ‘p’ in preschool this morning. The preschoolers worked on letter sounds and handwriting skills. They brainstormed as many words as they could that start with ‘p’. Explore your house to discover things that start with ‘p’ with your preschooler.

In small groups we learned the difference between uppercase and lowercase letters. We will be working on this skill all month. Point out the difference to your preschooler between uppercase and lowercase letters in words. Have fun and explore with letters and words around you!
