We are having fun this week in preschool! Has your child told you about The Gingerbread Man Loose in the School? We have had lots of fun with this book. The Gingerbread Man gets lost in school and meets a gym teacher, another teacher, the principal and more. We change the pictures and words so that he meets the preschool director, Mrs. Maxey, the Cronin gym teacher, and our school nurse, Ms. Lori! The kids have been making gingerbread man cookies in dramatic play, complete with a gingerbread house for him to live in! It's been a fun way to learn about people in our school. We also extended the project to community helpers and asked the children what they want to be when they grow up. We had some great answers! This morning someone told me she wants to be a doctor because a doctor helped her when she ate a spicy food and got sick. I am so proud of their thinking skills and how they have learned to answer questions!
Next week will be our last week of Beginning of the Year study. Then we will begin to study trees. A letter will be coming home next week to talk about how you can support us in our study!
Thank you to all of you that came out for Back to School night last night! It was fun to see how excited and proud the kids are to show you their work!
