We are going to begin learning about each letter of the alphabet. For the next three school days we will learn about the letter A leading up to our apple orchard field trip. For each letter we will read stories, do art projects, learn about the sounds, sing songs, dance/move to songs, practice letter formation and so much more. We also have a series of Bible stories and Bible songs that use the alphabet as a teaching tool. These are short stories and beautiful songs that are just right for preschool children.
We are also ready to begin implementing learning centers during a portion of our day. We will rotate students through the sand table, painting easels, art table and puzzle area. We may not get through teaching about each of these centers this week, but we'll get started on them. It's going to be fun to see their creativity!
If you ever see our group out on the playground around pick up time, you are welcome to come on over. At St. Clare School, we are all a family and we want you to know that you are a welcomed addition to our school. I remember wondering how my own children were doing in school when they were young. It's a great feeling to be reassured that they are content and comfortable in their new environment.
