Preschool 1

Hello Families!

We had a great week with our Laura Numeroff author study. Laura Numeroff’s books provide a wonderful opportunity to practice how to make a prediction when reading a book. For example, when reading If You Give a Moose a Muffin we read the first page and then stopped so everyone could predict what moose might want to have to go with it. Practice this beginning reader skill at home. Pick a new story to read and pause throughout the book to make  predictions about what might happen next. How do you think the story will end? 

We read If You Give a Mouse a Brownie and made brownies in our class! We even got to take a “field trip” to the kitchen to put them in the oven. Ask your child where the kitchen at school is. We enjoyed If You Give a Pig a Party and designed our own party hats. We also enjoyed If You Give a Cat a Cupcake followed by a cupcake decorating craft. Our sand table was filled with characters from the Laura Numeroff books so that the children could practice retelling her stories. We finished off our fun week with a visit from Miss Elaine…which is always a blast!

Looking forward to a week of holiday fun next week! Please keep your eye out for a sign up sheet for our gingerbread cookie decorating party being held next Wednesday, December 10 @ 11:15.

Have a great weekend,

Lisa, Mary and Gemma
