The ever changing weather!!

This last week before vacation we will visit the topic of our ever changing weather.  Each day the housekeeping corner will be stocked with appropriate clothing that we wear for the weather of the season.  Monday is winter, Tuesday is spring clothing, Wednesday is summer and Thursday is Fall.  Of course we will choose what the weather will be.  The students will measure the temperature through the week and predict what weather.  They can all be meteorologists some day!

The letter of the week is V and the math activities will be around shapes.  Art of course will reflect the weather theme.

Here is a site that has kid friendly weather videos  –    http://www.primarythemepark.com/2016/03/weather-videos-for-kids/

This is a favorite video about stormy weather!!

A few reminders for the week:  Monday night is our Pre-K Literacy night from 7-8 pm.  A surprise guest will be joining us from the Lake Erie Monsters.  Our rescheduled Pre-K math night is Tuesday evening from 7-8 pm.  Both nights will provide a great deal of information for those students going off to kindergarten.

The third quarter ends on Friday March 24th. Spring break is from March 26-March 31.

April 5th is Kindergarten registration for those students going on to kindergarten from 9-12 Pm and 4-7 PM in the gym.  If you have any questions regarding kindergarten please don’t hesitate to email me.

Time to celebrate!!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year………

TOP O’ THE MORNING TO YA!!!

If you haven’t guessed,  we will be doing St. Patrick’s day themed activities all week long.  The whole DAP staff is over the moon and full of blarney this time of the year !!!

We will be focusing on EVERYTHING GREEN.  The sensory table will be filled with green items and maybe even some gold coins.  We will be playing with green slime and green playdoh.  We will be doing a review of all our letters that we have covered so far this year.  Math will be number recognition up to the number 20.  The letter of the week is E and of course the color is green.  Everyone is Irish this time of year and the class will enjoy a variety of activities including finding that pesky Leprechaun.

Pastries with Parents in on Wednesday March 15th from 8-8:50AM.  Come to school and enjoy a treat with your child before school starts.   Also Malley’s orders are due on Wednesday.  Visit https://malleys.com/fundraising/campaing/fairview-park-early-education-center/  if you need to place an order.

 

It’s transportation week!

The PM class will be visiting The Cleveland History Center on Thursday afternoon.   So we thought that we would share the play items from the University Circle Initiative with the AM class and have a week of transportation.  It should be very fun.  For math we will be counting to 20 and and for art we will make hot air balloons, stop lights and trucks.  The children will get to take apart cars and but them back together along with using a drill (pretend) to put together an airplane.   We will also learn about vehicles that transport a variety of goods on land, sea and in the air.
