Beach Day
What fun would it be to have a beach day in January (at least we can pretend it’s warm for one day!). Each playschool class will be having their own beach day. The children can dress in shorts, sun dresses, tank tops, capris, flip flops, etc but
NO SWIMSUITS PLEASE!
Please send a towel with your child so we can have a picnic on the “beach.” Children are to bring their regular snacks, and a small treat will be provided afterwards. For each Beach Day, the regular classroom routine will be followed, however a few different games and activities will be included which will be related to the beach theme.
We are in need of small paper plates.
Table Work
The three year olds will be working on the square, rectangle, and circle this month. These activities help the children work on their pencil grasp, start to practice vertical lines, and listen to oral directions to attend to a simple task. When drawing the shapes, the children will be recognizing familiar two- dimensional shapes, as well as using correct top-to-bottom, left-to-right directionality for symbols.
The four year olds will be working on the letters U, C, and O this month. These activities will help the children learn to use correct top-to-bottom, left-to-right directionality for letters. They are also great for proper crayon grip to write and to practice using the helping hand to stabilize objects and paper. We will also be working on the sight words in, at, and on.
