WELCOME TO Mrs. Carter's PRE-K 2024-2025
Our class meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:30 until 2:15.
Just a reminder that snack should be in a separate bag placed in your child's lunch box, along with their lunch food, including a drink for both.
If your child has food allergies, please bring in a bag with a few special safe treats for them to eat if we should have a birthday celebration. Thank you so much for your help with this.The Week of May 19th
*PLEASE NOTE: From now on, whenever tracing or writing in their homework packets children should use pencils. Crayons should now only be used for coloring. Thank you.The children continue to work in math on simple addition. They had been working with sets up to 5 and will work with larger sets up to 10 this week. They will also be making a ladybug craft using their simple addition skills.
In Literacy we will continue with our Happily Ever After series practicing categorizing, making Xs, and reviewing our square and rectangle shapes.
This week in Religion we will learn about how God has given us a family to love us and care for us.
In Social Studies we will learn about Memorial Day through a video and then a coloring sheet.
Unfortunately, our first batch of caterpillars did not do well this year, so I ordered a 2nd batch which seems to be very close to getting into the chrysalis stage. I am hopeful that we will be seeing butterflies in the next 2 weeks.
Important Information:Students should bring their lunch box and folder to each class. Students should bring snack and lunch as well as drinks for both. Please label the snack so that we know what they should have at that time. Thank you for your help with this.
**PLEASE NOTE: SAVE THE DATE: Our Pre-K Stepping Up Ceremony will be at 9:45 on Monday, June 16th. The children have been preparing songs for the ceremony. Following the ceremony, students will be able to say quick goodbyes and take a picture or two before leaving for the start of their summer vacation, as the other class starts their ceremony right after ours. Thank you!!
OUR DAILY MORNING PRAYER
Thank you God for this day
In my school to work and play.
Please be with me all day long
In every story, game and song.
May all the happy things we do
Make you, Our Father, happy too.
Amen.
