Pre-K: November 10-14, 2025

November 10-14, 2025

Dear Pre-K Parents:

Even though this was another shorter week in Pre-K, we still had a busy, action packed time that included a continued study of nocturnal animals as well as night and day.  What do we do in the daytime and what do we do at nighttime?  We enjoyed exploring more about owls, bats, opossums as well as the sun, moon and stars.  

We enjoyed Be Ahead of the Game on Monday where we worked on catching and throwing skills as well as following multi-step directions.  We also reviewed our alphabet letters and sounds by playing several games and tracing our letters at the skills table and on our new doodle boards.  We worked with black glitter playdough enhancing our fine motor muscles to cross over to strengthen us for pencil grips in handwriting.  We celebrated another full Cutting Jar the children completed with a treat at snack time on Monday.  We will work towards finishing our next Cutting Jar for yet another treat!  We continued with our camping tent in Dramatic Play this week complete with campfire, marshmallows and sleeping bags.  Big Blocks were a hit this week as well as magna-tiles complete with battery operated tea lights to remind us of nighttime while we play in our classroom.   

Pajama Day on Friday was a great way to end our study of Night/Day and Nocturnal/Diurnal Animal Study.   We all felt silly and laughed at how we forgot to get dressed to come to school!  We read BedTime stories and pretended to go to sleep.  

Other Highlights

Great Math Bag Olivia L. with the number 4 this week!

Enjoy the weekend!
