We had a fabulous week in our Pre-K classroom! We began the week learning about Dr. Martin Luther King. Dr. King worked hard to change unfair laws. We celebrate and honor him on his birthday each year. The children learned that Dr. King dreamed of a world where everyone helps to care of each other. He called this world a "beloved community." The children learned what the word justice means and we discussed ways we can build a community of love at school. We also talked about how important it is to treat everyone with kindness regardless of what they look like, what they have or where they live. God created each of us and loves us all. We used a brown and white egg to help us understand. We may all look different on the outside but we are the same on the inside. It is what is in our heart that matters most! We also were reminded that God made us all different, we are so happy about that because our world would be so boring if we all looked the same!
We are thanking God for our wonderful family this month. The children have been sharing their family hearts with the class and telling us why their family is special. We love hearing all about our families and seeing all the beautiful hearts that each family has created. We will be finishing up our family hearts this week.
We learned about penguins this week in class. We did experiments and played games all while learning about these fascinating birds. The children learned that penguins have feathers but do not fly. Their feathers are waterproof and that helps them stay dry and warm in the cold water. We also did math activities, practiced patterns and positional words all with the help of penguins.
We also learned about ice in science this week. We learned that water is a liquid and it turns to a solid when it is frozen. Ice and snow are frozen water. We had a great time "skating" around the lunchroom!
We had a lot of fun with art this week! We started doing directive drawings in class. The children did an amazing job drawing a penguin and a polar bear! We also made beautiful paintings using a window washer. You can see some of the paintings above in our photos.
We are counting everyday to our 100 day celebration. It is hard to believe that we are on the 84th day of school already! The children's counting is awesome, we are so proud of them!
A big thank you to Mrs. Pessagno who came in as our secret reader this week! The children loved the story, the monkey and magnifying glass that went along with the story. We are so thankful to all our parents for all you do for us!!!
