Preschool April 2014 Newsletter

March was a fun month.  We went from having ten students to fourteen.  We welcomed Florentina back into preschool and Emily W Moved up from the Toddler Room.  We also welcomed Miao Miao and Jin Jin to MRA’s Preschool Room. 

During April we will be working very hard to prepare for Kindergarten with an extra emphasis
on writing and speaking.  We will continue with our first 30 sight words but also start introducing new words.
Please let me know if there is anything in particular you would like me to spend time
covering to prepare your child for their move to Kindergarten.
I hope to see you all at the concert at the end of the month! 
Always feel free to contact me by phone (13764743020), email
(c3clark3@hotmail.com), or wechat (c3clark3).

CLASS UPDATES
We have been spending a lot of time practicing counting by 5’s and it is
impressive how well the children have picked this up. Florentina and Emily Z
did an outstanding job learning our concert songs in under two weeks!  Jin Jin and Miao Miao did a wonderful job with the dances on their second day!
Emily Z, Florentina, and Nanding have really enjoyed pretending to own a
store and use money to shop at it.  Riku has taken his job as teacher helper very seriously and really wants to be a teacher! Emily Z and Kai are now reading books on their own with no help!  Nanding, Kai, Emily Z, Lisa, Ann, and Aston have already learned almost all of our first thirty sight words.  Jack is now able to string together words in English and say sentences!  Jules and Lucas are really enjoying our Non-Fiction books about animals.  Emily W has enjoyed making many new friends,be specially Kai, in the preschool room.
They have many questions and remember the answers.  The whole class has enjoyed using our
magnetic words to create sentences on the board; learning that periods mean the
sentence has ended and capital letters go at the start of the sentence.

FIVE GREEN AND SPECKLED FROGS
Five green and speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs (yum
yum)
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Then there were four green speckled
frogs (glub glub)

Repeat with four, three, and two frogs.

One green and speckled frog
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs (yum yum)
He jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Now there are no green speckled frogs!
