February and March

We have been working hard. We had a snowman unit, a penguin unit, a Valentines Day unit. This month we are working on: "All about Me!, Friends, and Family" units. We are learning what it takes to be a friend. Here are some of the books we are reading: Madeline, The Berenstain Bears Go out for the Team, The Three Sillies, Berenstain Bears and the Bully, Do you Want to be my Friend (Eric Carle), When Grandpa Visists, Always room for one More, A Chair for my Mother, Don't Wake up Mama, Just Grandma and Me (Mercer Mayer), Grand Dad, Life with Papa, Amelia Bedelia's Family Album, Are You My Mother? The Seven Silly Eaters, and the Berenstain Bears: Blame Game, Trouble with Grown Ups, The Truth, The Messy Room, The Bad Dream, Too Much Teasing. And the greatest book in our unit, "The Relatives". It is a story of when the relatives came for a week long trip and how messy the house got, how funny the stories were and how much hugging was happening when they came and left. Beautiful artwork!

We are making things such as books about friendship, coloring and cutting people's faces (out of cardstock and taping them onto popsicle sticks), for our family members, glueing different kinds of noodles onto a (cardstock) body to make 'boys and girls' with google eyes and yarn hair. We also made some friendship chains with words to teach us how to be a good friend in 3 different colors to make a ABC pattern.

So, come and join us for fun at preschool.

This summer we will be offering 3 different summer camps for children ages 3-8. In June, "We're Buggin'", in July, Science with water and Bubbles, in August, Music, Dance and Drama. So sign up now for the Summer fun. Summer camps are $60.00 for a full week Mon. - Fri. from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Pack a sack lunch for your child(ren).
