Zz Week
For Zz week, we had lots of learning and fun with zoos and zebras! We did fiZZy science as we explored the chemical reaction of baking soda and vinegar in eggs! We had some good, messy fun as we practice writing Z's in shaving cream, pretending the shaving cream was a cloud and our Z's were lightning bolts!
Uu week!
Our goals this week were:
- I can be kind!
- I can read and write the letter U!

We had fun going up and under with things like our parachute and paper airplanes! We found letter Uu's we stuck under our umbrella! We helped a duck and a truck that were stuck in the muck! And we had lots of practice with patterns!
Wow! Ww Week was wonderful!
For Ww week, students had fun predicting the weather, deciding on the proper attire, and talking about the seasons changing! We water colored and investigated how water changes. We worked on our fine motor skills by weaving webs with Ww words and making wiggly worms from cereal and then had fun pretending our fingers were worms wiggling in the wet dirt! We also rhymed with the -ow sound when we "fed a cow some chow". In math we worked on subtraction. We even fit in another fire drill. Whoosh! What a week!

Dd was Delightful!
Dominos, dots, dinosaurs, dogs, disguises, detectives, dissolving... We had another fun and busy week learning, this time the letter Dd, the number 9, and the rhyming sound -ed!
We searched for missing alphabet letters in style! Do any of our detectives disguises dupe you?
Excellent Ee!
This week and last, for letter Ee, we did engineer challenges!
Here are the winning bridges, towers, and large structures:
Eggs and experiments were common this week! We did experiments with bouncy eggs and elephant toothpaste and even made paint out of egg yolk!
Ee is for eyes and ears! We first learned about our eyes and ears through children's science books. We also did science with sound and tried to discover what sounds we were hearing when we couldn't use our eyes. We examined our eyes and then used them to explore as we searched for things that begin with the Ee sound.
Play: Whose eyes do you recognize?

Review and Holidays
We have been working hard this year! I am so thankful for these wonderful students and their families! We spent the week reviewing what we have learned and doing holiday activities. Our dramatic play center became Santa's Workshop, we did experiments with snow and candy canes, did class graphing, pattern blocks, and so much more!
The Very Busy Spider
We put on a play! Students and parents worked hard to make it all come together. We practiced once or twice a class period for two week as well as at home. Parents provided the adorable costumes and several parents helped with scenery, programs, getting our venue, and more! The night turned into a special memory for all involved!
We were working on the important preschool goals of:
- I can speak loud and clear so I can be understood.
- I can work as a part of a team.
- I can focus and follow directions.
Lovely Letter Ll
Letter Ll week was lots of fun! We had a great time writing and receiving letters as we were mail carriers. We got to be explore being ladybugs, lions, and leaves. In math, we have wrapped up our unit on shapes and are working on reading, writing, and using numerals!
Aa is Awesome!
What an adventure Aa has been! Our dramatic play center became Adventure Air Airlines where students filled out tickets, checked bags, went through security, chose destinations, took orders for in-flight snacks, and got to be pilots! We did lots of autumn art and even had a local artist come to talk to the kids about being an artist and helped them create artwork to take home! We played and learned with ants, apples, and being actors! Aa was amazing!
