September Word Review

I believe that we should expose our children to a varied vocabulary. This month we introduced many new words with our themes. Ask your children about the words and see if they can use them in a sentence.

Chlorophyll
Autumn
Fleece
Shearing Sheep
Extinct
Fossils
Paleontologist 
(Dinosaur names)
Orchard
Harvest
Dormant

Nursery rhymes help children develop reading skills. We learned Mary Had A Little Lamb this month. Have them sing the song as they wash their hands, put on their shoes, or make their bed. Substitute their own name for Mary's and the add something silly for them. Like...

Bobby had a little book, little book, little book.
Booby had a little book, he liked to read it so.

Sammy had a lego dude...

Katie had a baby doll...

The rhythm and the rhyme is important, the content can be ridiculous...your kids will love to hear you sing silly songs about them!

Thank you,
Miss Sherry

Our first day of preschool was awesome. Your kids are fabulous, smart, and fun! I will be sending home a newsletter for the month of September this week. Before then, I wanted to take a moment to make you aware of a few dates and items of business. 1.     We will have Show & Tell on Thursday . This week, please have your child bring an item that starts with the first letter of their name. I will put Show & Tell themes on the google calendar. 2.     We will not have preschool on Monday, September 3rd. 3.     Tuition is due Tuesday, September 4th. If you have any questions, please call, email, or text. I try to respond quickly and I will work to resolve any problems :) Thank you, Miss Sherry
