SAMPLE NEWSLETTER: What’s To Come
Welcome to the preschool class! We are excited to begin our new school year, to see our returning students, and meet the new students. The preschool environment is filled with a wonderful group of three, four, and five year olds. The first moth of preschool is really to know you. We will focus on some of the classroom norms so they become second nature to the children.
Here are just a few things we will cover during the month of September:
Intro to each other, to snack, easel painting, In sensorial we will explore: the pink cubes, knobbed cylinders, brown prisms and red rods. In practical life we will practice: whole hand, dry pouring, spooning, tonging objects and dressing frames. In math we will practice 1 to 1 correspondence, red and blue rods.
We will begin to introduce our phonetic sounds in the month of october: s/m/a/t.Our special unit of study will be seven continents of the world.
SHARING SCHEDULE: Thursday and Friday will be our sharing days.
