Happy Birthday to Klaira

Little Klaira has gone through some major adjustments lately.
She has started preschool, got glasses and has turned the big
2!!!
We are proud of her.


Klaira is sharing her party with everyone here. Her grandmother Elaine has furnished a
beautiful cake with two Hugh candles that are so cute.
Beautiful paper plates and napkins, blow horns,  juice, cheese puffs, and ice cream !!!
The kids had a blast and to top it all off she had her friend Madison help with blowing out candles.



So cute!

Getting Acquainted

Sharing Time: Today we started out getting acquainted with our new students. And the new students getting acquainted with us. We discussed preschool and Ms. Sheryll read some books.



Story Time included "Friends",  "My First Day of Nursery School"
And "To School".

Today during Circle Time we talked about getting our
pictures taken with our family.
If you could please send to preschool a couple
of family photos that your child can share with us
and keep in their portfolios to look at
that would be wonderful.
We also are getting locker pictures taken
for the new kids, and new ones taken
for the ones that have old picture there.

Today for our food experiences, we tasted salty foods.
We talked about our sense of taste, and taste buds.
Everyone stick out your tongue!



A few salty foods that we tasted.





We also talked about the sense of touch. We got to explore some
different kinds of textures. The feeling of the rough vs smooth.
Here are a few things we got to explore.



Then our sense of sight with shapes and colors.


Shapes and colors.

Our Theme Activity was singing a song

"If You're Happy And You Know It"

Communication Skills
Fine / Gross Motor skills
Behavioral / social skills
Cognitive / Readiness skills
Self-Help skills
Vision or Hearing

If you feel like your child is in need of some help in any of these areas this is a wonderful program that can really help. They will do a screening with your permission and will come to work with your child one on one each week. We have had the opportunity to have these wonderful ladies here before and look forward to helping any child that needs a little more attention to accomplish their goals of growing and learning.

Forms are available here at preschool just ask Sheryll or Kathy for it.
