Ms. Mikki’s Class News

March 31, 2017

Spring is in the air!  With that being said, hold on tight.  The next month will fly by!  Please be sure to follow my Facebook page, the PAT FB page and blogs for all kinds of preschool and PAT information.  We have a lot going on and we don’t want you to miss any of it.

We have been reading several books by Eric Carle.  We’ve enjoyed our “Growing” unit.  We have made lists of things that grow.  As your child if they can name one thing that grows.  We also planted seeds last week.  We’ve been watering them daily and are starting to see some sprouts.  We also have beans closed in a baggie with a wet paper towel.  We are watching to see if they are going to sprout too.  We’ve talked about the parts of a plant, made a book about flowers, and shared it with some other classes as well as Mrs. Ramey.  

We continue to work on on letter recognition, specifically those letters in their name.  I hope you are enjoying the milk cap game I sent home.  These are the skills they are working on:

Stating first and last name

Naming the first letter in their name

Spelling their name verbally

Putting the letters in their name in the correct order

Writing the letters in their name
