Day to Day<br />
on the Lower campus…<br />
tK:<br />
Along with the busy bustle <strong>of</strong> the holiday activities, the<br />
shining stars <strong>of</strong> TK have been really busy learning literacy<br />
and math skills in many fun-filled ways. As they complete<br />
their “must-do contracts” each week, they have been<br />
identifying beginning, middle, and ending sounds in<br />
words, listening for and making up rhyming words, and<br />
writing lots <strong>of</strong> words by listening for the different sounds<br />
that make up the words they want to write. As for math,<br />
they have been copying and creating patterns, writing<br />
and ordering numerals, and solving story problems.<br />
PK:<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the favorite units in Pre-K is<br />
Beary Good Friends. <strong>The</strong> children love<br />
to explore and experience the world<br />
<strong>of</strong> make-believe. We decorated, laced,<br />
and dressed some very creative bears.<br />
<strong>The</strong> children read many bear stories and<br />
learned bear songs. <strong>The</strong> highlight <strong>of</strong> our<br />
Bear and Bb Week was sharing the day<br />
with our Teddy bears and having a<br />
Teddy Bear Picnic on our playground.<br />

<strong>The</strong> kindergarten classes were very busy getting ready for<br />
their Thanksgiving program which was held in november.<br />
<strong>The</strong> children performed many new songs and poems that they<br />
learned. <strong>The</strong> kindergarten classes enjoyed rehearsing together<br />
daily, as they got ready for the performance. in addition, the<br />
children had fun preparing their versions <strong>of</strong> native American<br />
and Pilgrim costumes.
