PreK4 eNews

We had another wonderful week in PreK!  Wearing pajamas to school and enjoying pancakes or popcorn is not only fun, but a great way to reinforce the letter and sound of “Pp”.  Also, the children learned God created animals to survive during the cold winter and they participated in an exciting science experiment that showed us how polar bears are protected from the cold. 

Show and Tell is a little tricky next week because it is another middle vowel sound.  Learning to hear the middle sound is important for reading. Thank you for helping reinforce this skill, emphasizing the short vowel sounds in simple words.

• Bible Verse: Jeremiah 32:27 “I am the Lord, the God of all. Is anything too hard for me?”
• Bible Story: Beside the Pool (Over the next few months, we will learn about many of the miracles Jesus performed.)
• Reading/Phonemic Awareness: We will introduce the letter “Uu” and the short vowel sound /u/ makes. (think umbrella, up).
• Math: #9
• Unit:  Animals in Winter
• Show and Tell: Bring something that has the short vowel sound of /u/ in the middle (bus, duck, truck)

• Please make sure your child’s coat is labeled with his/her name.  Many children have new coats and we don’t want these to get lost!
• Snacks: Monday through Friday – Cereal, goldfish, crackers, or pretzels.  Dried fruit will be offered.
