We have had an amazing first 9 weeks together in PreK! We sent home report cards last week, these help you see where your child is. If your child had several U’s or N’s please remember this is their first time being in school. This will help you see how they are progressing over the next 9 weeks! Expect some HUGE changes as we dive in even deeper! PreK is a head-start for Kindergarten and our goal is to get them as ready as possible! If you feel you need to meet with me about your child please feel free to call or email me and schedule a conference.

Here are just some things we have learned so far:

Every day we work on our days of the week, months of the year and special holidays that are going to happen during that month.

We count to 10 every day, forwards and backwards. We also play skip around with our numbers so we really learn what they look like, and where they go on the number line.

We say our ABC’s and have so far learned how to write Aa-Gg. We also work on the sounds they make as we learn the letter. (These are great things to work on at home, especially since Kindergarten begins reading during the first 9 weeks of school.)

We have learned how to make, copy and continue AB and ABC patterns.

We have learned how to identify our name in the classroom and are working on being able to write and spell it.

We have learned how to take care of our personal needs in the cafeteria and in the classroom and have learned the rules for each setting. We have also learned playground safety and lots of fun new games!

We have learned how to work well with each other since most of our centers have two kids at each.

Most importantly we have had fun learning!!
