Beginning and End of Theme Webs

The children demonstrated their learning by telling what they knew about winter. They remembered many facts and vocabulary words that we discussed during our study.

February/March Newsletter

Dear Families,

We are wrapping up our study on Winter this week. We have discussed snow crystals,

appropriate clothing for winter weather, arctic animals, snow people, and how animals

survive winter by either hibernating, migrating, or adapting and staying active. We had a

conversation on the first day of our study about what we know about winter. That has been

hanging in our classroom since the beginning of January. On Friday, we will have the same

conversation. We will compare our knowledge webs to see how much we learned in this unit.

Thank you for any donations you made to this theme. They were greatly appreciated.

We will be talking about fairy tales for the months of March and April, specifically The Three

Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and The Billy Goats Gruff. Fairy tales are a great opportunity for the children to practice their retelling and story sequencing skills. We will look

at each story individually and then compare all three to see what elements they have in common.

This is usually a favorite theme for children.

Parent teacher conferences are Tuesday, March 3rd. Appointments are made through Sign

Up Genius at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090f44a9af2fabfa7-miss2 Please let me

know if you need any help scheduling. I can make appointments for you if needed. 

Preschool is participating in the Malletts Bay School Food Drive this week. If you would like

to make a donation, please send it in your child’s backpack and we will add it to our food

shelf box. Thank you.
