Our themes this week are weather and blue. We will be learning about the seasons, what activities we can do depending on the weather, and how we dress and prepare for the changes. We will be making wind art by blowing through a straw, building rain bags to hang in the windows, and creating rainbow fruit loop necklaces.
Please take some time to look through the Scholastic worksheets your child will be working on and bringing home this week.
There are some dates that need filled in on the co-op calendar. Please take a look to see if you can help.
Also, we have some great tools in the kitchen that can be used for snack. We have a toaster oven, cupcake maker, griddle and microwave. The children would love to help cook and it is such a great opportunity for learning. We can do waffles, pancakes, quesadillas, muffins, etc. Please be sure to make sure to have two food groups. One of which should be a fresh fruit or veggie.
I have put a Fresh n' Easy envelope on the bulletin board by the calendar. SUMC Preschool earns $1 for each receipt over $20. Please save your receipts and drop them in our envelope. Our school Fresh n' Easy night is set for Wednesday, October 3rd. The staff volunteers to bag the groceries at the Thomas/Hayden location from 4-8pm that night. The preschool receives a % of all sales during that time We are asking for a little help from each class. I need 2 volunteers to help for one hour that night. I need a 6-7 and a 7-8 person. It is a great way to support the school and spend some time with other parents. The Fresh n' Easy fundraiser was a huge success last year and we are hoping this year is even better. Please let me know if you can help.
Weeks of September 4th & 10th
The next couple of weeks we will learn about our five senses. The class is learning about each one and how each helps us to learn about our world and keep us safe. We are playing with shaving cream (both smell and touch), painting with Kool-Aid (smells yummy!) and creating handprints with different textures. We will be using lots of great sensory items such as sandpaper and coffee. They will also be guessing the mystery smells (please come back to our science center to see your child's guesses). The kids will be playing tray memory during circle time.
Just a reminder to please dress your children in shoes that do not hinder their ability to run and play outside. Close toe shoes are mandatory.
See you at school!
