Do you like insects and spiders?

Toys: Insects Math Game, Cooties, Rose Cottage, Bug Stamps and card making.

We also learned that I the Insect flew into some (poison) ivy and got very itchy. "I-i-i" (short i sound) is what she says while itching her arms with her fingers.

Coloring, tracing around hands, scissor and cutting out practice are all part of pre-Kindergarten Curriculum.


We enjoyed reading about The Eensy-Weensy Spider and The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly.


We read It's a Good Thing There are Insects and talked about the benefit of having insects in the world. The children were really interested in how bees help us!

Today we learned how vowels are the glue that sticks words together. Miss Jessica writes words with the vowels in red ink and so students can see and read early on what vowels are. Today we reviewed in class that vowels are: Aa, Ee, Ii, Oo, Uu, and sometimes Yy.
