Learning Time Preschool 3 

Circle time is a fun learning time in Preschool 3! Our friends practice their letters, the day of the week, number of the week, what's the weather, and weekly theme. This week's theme is all about bugs.   

This week PS3 is working on the letter W. With each letter the class learns they make the letter shape with their fingers. 

When they get to the weather, they sing a song...What's the weather? 

Each day Ms. Shanice will pick a different friend to spin the weather wheel after the class sings the weather song.

What do you know about bugs? This is our weekly theme for the week. Today the class talked about the life cycle of the butterfly and that bees make honey. 

Another bug they talked about was the ladybug. They talked about how the lady bug has two wings and how it is red with black spots.

Easter Fun!

On Thursday, April 2, 2015, our classrooms enjoyed a Easter egg hunt! All classrooms where very "egg"cited, there were also a few parents that showed up to enjoy the egg hunt with their children.

One of our PS3 Friends was on the move trying to fill his bag up with eggs, before his friends made it too the eggs.  

 

Another PS3 friend was on the hunt for eggs filled with toy's and treats!

 

One of our Pre-K friends got a surprise visit...His mom! He was very excited when she showed up, and helped him with the hunt! 

 

 PS1 friends were on another playground. This friend was making sure he picked up the eggs he walked pasted, while his other friends were running, passing up eggs he was busy picking up the eggs that were left behind up!

Our younger friends were not very sure about picking up the eggs on the ground, but once they saw there was stuff inside the eggs they became very happy! 

 

Everyone was looking to make sure they had not missed one single egg, even if it meant jumping!

Foreign Language Invades Holly Tree!

On Monday, we kicked of four new enrichments at Holly Tree! One of the new enrichments is Spanish! Ms. Roxanne had everyone's attention the moment she walked into the rooms!

Ms. Roxanne started off in our PS2 classroom. After each child worked on how to introduce their self in Spanish, they talked about their families.

In the family, we had a mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, baby, brother, sister, cat, and bird. Ms. Roxanne would say the English word then she would say it in Spanish, and the class would repeat her. 

The classrooms also worked on saying their colors and counted to ten in Spanish.

Each child could not wait to introduce their self in PS3! After a friend would say who they were the class would say "Hola!" and the child's name.

At the end of each classes lesson they would finish with a song! The song of the day was skidamarink! We also did the motions that went with the song!

A SEA OF GREEN! 

On Tuesday, March 17, 2015, our classes were flooded with a sea of green. Each class had their St. Patrick's Day parties, each child had a shade of green on. Whether it was on shirt, pants, shoes, or all over. Each class also had a special craft that they did after they ate their snack. 

In PS3, Ms. Shanice and her friends are enjoying a healthy snack. They had veggies, meat, fruit, and a sweet treat! 

In PS2 a friend took a break from eating to give Mrs. Erica a big smile!

In PS1 our friends enjoyed one of their favorite snacks...Cheese and Crackers. They also had fruits and veggies, and meat.  

Although our PS1 enjoys their cheese and crackers, they love sugar cookies with sprinkles on top!!! 

Even our nursery friend were wearing green! Not only does this friend love to smile, but he has discovered his tongue and loves sticking it out while smiling!
