Money!!

This week the students learned all about money-coins. We talked about the difference between quarters, dimes, nickles, and pennies. We learned their amounts and who is on the face of each coin. We sorted coins and measured with quarters. We experimented with how to clean pennies with vinegar, as well. Next week will be a very busy week for our school and our class. We will have Book Fair that will be in the front by the office all week. Then on Monday with Muffins for Mom (7:00am), Tuesday will spring pictures with Life Touch, Wednesday there is Donuts for Dads, Thursday is Goodies for Grandparents and the Hot Dog Dinner, then on Saturday there is a Yard Sale at the school from 8am - noon. Also, next week we will focus on rhyming words and Dr. Seuss' Birthday (we will have green eggs and ham on Thursday).

Happy Valentine's Day!

Our class had a great time this week sharing their Valentine cards and treats with their classmates. Thank you to everyone who donated items for the card exchange and the snack. Also, this week we worked with graphing and balancing different items. Today we were visited by some of the dental staff from Fort Stewart and the students some facts about how to take care of their teeth. Please do not forget that there will be no school this Friday, February 17th  or on Monday, February 20th, due to President's Day. Thank you again for all the wonderful Valentine treats that you sent in for the class and for Ms. Gibbs and myself.



The students have really had a busy week this week. We made it through our first severe weather drill, took class pictures, and began learning about friendship/Valentines. All the students have really enjoyed showing off their Valentine card boxes and they are very excited for the card exchange next week on February 14th. A big thank you to everyone for donating for the snack after the card exchange, I know that the students will really enjoy it. Please remember that we have 22 students in our class and that we are asking that you only fill out the "from" section of the cards for the exchange. Please enjoy the photos below:

Polar Fun!!!

The students had a great time this week learning all about Polar Animals.  We watched the polar cam at the San Diego Zoo and preformed an  blubber experiment to see how the polar animals stay warm in the cold weather. This week we also celebrated the 100th Day of school on Tuesday, January 24th with a round robin with the three other classes on our pod. Please do not forget the Valentine Day Card boxes, we are asking that each student brings in a cereal box that is decorated and has an opening in the top for the other students to place cards in. We will exchange cards on February 14th. Thank you for all your support!!


Happy 100th Day!!

Winter Fun!!

       This week the students learned more about winter and we began to talk about Arctic animals. Several of the students went on a snow ball hunt around the school. Other students had a snow ball toss contest and some made snow crystals. Our story of the week was the "Three Snow Bears." Next week we will focus on learning more about Arctic animals. Please do not forget to send in your child's Valentine Box; see the newsletter for more information. Have a great weekend.



A Snowtastic Week in Pre-K!

The students have had a great time this week learning about winter. We have had ice skating races, made puff paint and tear art snowmen, and learned the "5 Little Snowmen"song. Some of the students preformed a Dot Explosion experiment, using vinegar, food color, and baking soda. While others made sensory color bottles. We are proud to announce that Miss. Victoria will be our student intern from Liberty County High. FYI: All outside food that is brought in for the class must be store bought. We are not allowed to accept homemade items. Please remember that there will be no school on Monday, January 16th, due to the Martin Luther King Holiday. Have a great weekend!!!

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to the second half of our school year. We are so excited to get things kicked off with learning about winter and polar animals. The students made "Snow" today and had a blast. Next week we will learn all about the winter season. Thanks for all you do.
