Pre-School
Preschool Highlights
The end of the school year is approaching, and we would like to let you know what we have been doing, and what we are planning in the preschool program for the upcoming weeks.
Language Arts
We are continuing our work with the consonants of the alphabet, and this month we will be finishing with these letters/sounds. Projects will coincide with these letters, and will bring us to a variety of subject areas, as well as provide reinforcement for our early learners.
Reading
As always, reading is a central part of our curriculum. Some stories will be read in conjunction with the letters and themes we are working on, some will be about Spring, and France, our multicultural country choice, and others will be ones the children choose from our weekly visits to the school library. Our students seem to be enjoying the wide variety of stories, and are very attentive during reading time.
Math
This month we will work with the children in the areas of sequencing, matching numerals to amounts and simple addition equations. This is just a small sample of some pre-math concepts we are introducing to our students.
Physical Education
One of the favorite activity times for the children is phys ed. Mrs. Cronin is continuing with her program, and has finished up with stunts and tumbling with the children. Our littlest students are proving to be physically agile, even at their young ages!
Happening now, …yoga!!
Music
We continue to listen to and sing a variety of songs, and the children seem to really enjoy expressing themselves through music and movement.
Religion
We continue to work through our religion series, concentrating on the lessons God Gives Us Our Feelings, Growing and Changing and Mother’s Day.
It has been a very busy month. We are proud to see the progress our preschoolers are making in the program in preparation for kindergarten. Our 2012-2013 preschool class is filling for September, but if you are interested, please call the school and arrange for a visit. We would love to have you see firsthand what a fun and challenging place Blessed Sacrament Preschool is!!
Looking ahead:
5/22 Multicultural Fair
5/24 Preview Night
