This week will be a busy one in Preschool! On Tuesday we are excited to celebrate the impending arrival of Miss Ashly’s baby boy. Remember, Tuesday is an Early Dismissal day and so the 4 year old class is coming to school in the morning from 9:00 to 10:45. All 3 year old students and all parents are welcome to attend the shower at 9:45. Wednesday is February 29th or Leap Day, since this is an “extra” day we are going to enjoy it by having special activities and a special treat for snack. Here are our specific plans for the week:
Monday
Today the morning class will work on categorizing objects and beginning cutting skills by snipping straws. We will then use our snipped straws as beads for a beautiful necklace. The afternoon class will work on number identification/printing of the numbers 6-9. We will also work on classifying objects by playing What Goes Together?
