Mail's Here!

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. -Benjamin Franklin 

Happy Monday Everyone!

The kids and I kicked off our week in preschool today by jumping for joy that there are only three day's left  until Valentines day! Reminder: we will be having a small Valentines party on Thursday. Each child is expected to hand out individual Valentines to share with their friends. Have them personally write out each name, this will be great writing practice for your preschooler! Also, if you have more then one child  attending Marys please send a Valentine from each child, not as a family. This is will involve everyone and make them feel apart of the holiday.

 To continue on from last weeks lesson, the kids reviewed the work of a mailman. With this lesson we covered what things get sent in the mail,why we have mail and what we have to do with our mail before the mailman is able to deliver it. We also went on and shared if anyone has ever received something in the mail before. If you are looking for a special project to do with your child please consider letting them send out a letter in the mail so they can get some experience in what we are talking about. 

 

Currently, we are discussing letter D, today we reviewed more on what things begin with D.  Continue on with this from home! Our activity of the day was spent counting hearts. Each child started out with a black and white worksheet with seven hearts. Their job was to color each  heart differently. They were then given seven cut out hearts with a number on the front. To play the game all you have to do is match up the number with the correct heart on the worksheet. It is pretty self-explanatory once you see the worksheet if that was not clear enough. 

Homework: Have your child come with completed valentines for Thursday's class party. Work on mailing letters, if you don't want to let them mail a letter personally have them grab the mail out of the mailbox a few times. Continue working on what words begin with letter D, and play through our counting game throughout the week. 

Have a great week! Thank you for reading!
