PreK4 eNews

What fun we had when the portable pumpkin patch came to visit us!  We learned about how pumpkins grow, played in a trailer full of corn, and chose a pumpkin to take home.  Ask your child to tell you some of the “friends” that we learned are found at a pumpkin patch.  Each child worked so hard creating a book that helps us remember the life cycle of a pumpkin.  And, of course, another favorite part of this unit on pumpkins was tasting a delicious pumpkin treat!

Wow!  We can hardly believe that it is November!  Next week, we will begin our unit on the First Thanksgiving.  We love teaching the children how God was intricately involved in this part of our history.  We also want to focus on being thankful for our many blessings.  Each teacher is so thankful for the children we teach and for the parents!  Thank you for sending your child to Shiloh and allowing us to share part of our days with your child!

Next Week

  • Bible Verse: “Give thanks to the Lord for He is good.” Psalm 118:1 (We will practice this verse for two weeks. Practice at home too!)
  • Bible: The First Thanksgiving (Although this story is not from God’s word, we will learn how this event from our history was part of God’s plan)
  • Reading/Phonemic Awareness: We will introduce the letter “Jj” and the sound that /j/ makes. (Think jump and jar.)
  • Math:  #7
  • Unit: The First Thanksgiving
  • Show and Tell:  Bring something that begins with the letter and sound of /Jj/.
