MAT MAN

As part of our curriculum, we use something called "Handwriting Without Tears."  This helps students learn how to write letters using four basic pieces:  big line, little line, big curve, and little curve.  These can also be used to make other fun things - such as Mat Man! :)  There is a song we sing about Mat Man as we add each part.  This helps students recognize and draw themselves and other people more accurately.  Here are a couple pictures of the students helping to build Mat Man and then drawing him themselves. 

Singing Sunday September 16

This Sunday, September 16^th  at the 10:30am service is the first Sunday church service the preschool choir is singing at for the year.  We sing twice a semester.  I know many of you attend other churches on Sunday morning and if you are unable to make it, that is fine.  But we would LOVE to have as many there as possible and we NEED a lot of students to come and sing so we can be heard! 

Please come to the classroom between 10:15-10:20am.  Mrs. Foley will practice the song with the students and then will take the students up to the balcony to sing between the Bible readings.  Right before the children’s sermon, the students will be dismissed to go to the children’s sermon in the front of the church and then join their parents or family after that. 

If you have any questions, please let me know! 

Shapes All Around Us

     We have been studying shapes in preschool these first few weeks of school.  This week, we're focusing on 3D shapes such as spheres, cones, cubes, cylinders, and rectangular prisms.  We have noticed that there are shapes all around us.  Today we got to have some fun with some spheres and enjoy the beautiful weather outside.  We worked on large-motor skills of throwing, catching, and kicking, while practicing our new vocabulary word - sphere!  :)  What shapes can you find with your child around your house?
