Preschool News

Preschool Webpage

Dear Preschool families,

We are having such a lovely fall week in the preschool. Mrs. Maura’s and Mrs. Christina’s 3-year-old classes are talking about nocturnal animals. They are learning about the night life of bats, owls, raccoons, and opossums. In religion class they are learning that God made them and that they can care for things and be responsible.

Mrs. Sheila’s and Mrs. Jenny’s four-year-old classes and Mrs. Liz’s five-year-old class are learning all about leaves and the season of Fall this week. The four-year-olds are coloring watercolor paper leaves with markers and spraying them with water to make the colors blend. Some beautiful tissue paper trees, made during art class, are hanging on their walls and in the hall. They are sorting leaves by size and color and practicing making patterns with leaves. They are also examining leaves with a magnifying glass and measuring them with Unifix cubes.

The five-year-old class is working on their fine motor skills as they rip small pieces of paper, making “leaves” for their trees in art. They are graphing different colored leaves as a group. In writing they are learning about beginning sounds and are making upper and lower case letters. On Friday they are making a special “Scarecrow Crunch” snack as they practice following a recipe.

Enjoy the fall weather!

Mrs. Aimee
