Autumn/TRICK OR TRICK TIME

We have had a very busy and productive September.  Autumn came upon us fast!  The children have kept us busy with no  time to write on our blog.lol

We finished our unit on Feelings and emotions.  The children have learned about sad,angry,tired, surprised and scared.  They learned that all these emotions are okay to feel.  It is the actions that we use that get us into trouble.

Our toddler's are working hard on learning their body parts and colors.

All pre-k's have been working on writing their name.  As parents you are your child's first teacher.  Please take the time each day to help your child practice writing their name.  Only the first letter in their name should be uppercase, the remaining letters are lowercase.  All our preschoolers have conquered their colors and shapes!!

Our kindergartners have been busy learning sight words. Reminder that all children learn at a different pace.  I have your child work to the best of their ability.  By kindergarten I have different lessons based on where your child's zone of development is.
