What's Happening In Pre-K 4B

We have settled into our daily routines very nicely and the children have made some new friends!  We’ll be reviewing numbers 0 -10 and begin our alphabet letters. We’ll learn about the season of fall and all the changes that come with it. We’ll watch the trees through our classroom windows and go on nature walks.  Your child is welcome to bring in seasonal items such as leaves, pinecones, small pumpkins, gourds, or Indian Corn.  We can explore them with our senses, using a magnifying glass, and under our microscope.

We’re also getting ready for Halloween. The children will paint with red and yellow to make a magical color, orange.  We’ll read lots of Halloween stories and one of my personal favorites is a puppet show about a silly ghost who likes to change colors.
