Week of November 16, 2020


OUR LITTLE PREK-3 TURKEYS ARE SO ADORABLE!!!
We hope you're enjoying their beautiful "handy" work at home!


Bye Bye Jack-o-Lantern, hope you become a little home for someone this Winter!
Be sure to ask your little turkey all about the story "Mousekin's Golden House" and what we did with our Halloween Jack-o-Lantern!

G is for Gumball!  We loved making dot marker gumballs!


Painting our turkey bodies brown was so much fun!




Popsicle stick squares were cool to make.  
Ask your little shape builder to find some squares around your home!





Pumpkin shape puzzles are so much fun to solve!



We loved learning to make patterns this week! They were a "snap" to put together!


GOOD times with GREAT friends in PreK-3!!
We are so GRATEFUL for each and every one of our little turkeys!

It really doesn't seem to matter if we have a full week or a short week in school, somehow we mange to pack all of our weeks full of learning fun!  Hope your little sweethearts are coming home with lots of fun stories about school!

Weekly Recap:  We loved learning Turkey facts this week and then making our own turkeys as well as a cool scene from the song we are learning, "Five Fat Turkeys Are We."  We also loved learning what a gumball machine is and making our own G gumball machines.  The children were mesmerized by the gumball book we read!  Patterns and squares were so cool to learn about.  We really do have a mathematical class this year!  I think we have some future scientists and engineers on our hands!!

A Sneak Peak at Our Upcoming Week: This week we will be finishing up letter Gg and starting up Hh.  We will also be focusing on the true meaning of Thanksgiving, gratitude and the importance of sharing.  We will also continue to work on shapes as well as patterning.

Reminder: PreK-3 will be in session full day during the Main School's Conferences on Nov 23rd and 24th.  The Main Building will be having early dismissals during their conference days which will affect our Noon Dismissal. We ask that the families who pick up at noon to please join the Main Building Carline.  We will be dismissing your children from the Main School's Main Entrance during those days as well as on Nov 25th.  THE LINE IS LONG and WILL TAKE MORE TIME as well as a great deal of  patience.  The good news though, is that the main building will start dismissing at 11:30.  PreK however will dismiss at 12:00.  Hopefully this will alleviate some of the anticipated congestion!  Thank you in advance for your cooperation.  

This Week's Focus will be on:
Letters of the Week: Gg and Hh
Number of the Month: 3
Color of the Month:  Brown
Shape of the Month:  Square
November Themes:  Signs of Fall, Counting 0-3, Sorting, AB Patterns, Pumpkin Science, Thanksgiving, Families, Sharing
