Week 24

In Pre-K this week, we learned about President's day.  We read about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.  We talked about who they were and why they were important.  We made a bubble map of the things that we learned about them. We also made representations of them to hang on the wall.

 We learned about dental health too.  We discussed dentists and how they help us take care of our teeth.  We talked about healthy food and unhealthy food for our teeth.  We discussed how to take care of our teeth by brushing them after each meal, flossing, eating healthy foods, and visiting the dentist twice a year.  We talked about sugary foods and how they can give us cavities!

We learned the letter Vv this week. We learned things that begin with Vv, how to write Vv, and its sound.  In math, we learned strategies to help us count such as, eyeballing, counting with our fingers, reading numerals, forming a mental picture in our heads, and using a number line. We practiced counting using these strategies.  We played a game called "Finger flash".

Reminders:

1.  Group and Individual pictures will be taken on Wednesday.  I sent home the picture envelope on Thursday.  Please check your child's backpack daily and go through the papers.  Some students have backpacks full of papers. Also please sign folders daily.  We are half way through the year and we are expecting more from the Pre-K students.  Some students are still having trouble listening and following directions.  Please check the folder so you can give us support.  Thank you!

2. Library day is on Wednesday.  Please make sure your child is returning their books each week. The librarian gave each child a baggie with a red handle to keep their book safe and clean.  Please make sure they keep their book in the baggie.

3. Don't forget that GFAA has a dress code.  No letter or numbers on clothing and tennis shoes should be worn daily for P.E. and recess.  Please check your child's clothes to make sure they are following dress code. 

4.  We are in need of new boxes of crayons to replace our old broken ones in class.  Please send a box to school ASAP. 

5. We also need Lysol wipes to clean the tables after breakfast and snacks.
