We are working hard and having fun at preschool so far this year. Our class didn't skip a beat after Christmas break. We were able to get right back into the swing of our routine and keep on learning! Every day before our lesson we review letters, sounds, numbers, shapes, calendar, and seasons. Then we practice the letter, shape, and number on our focus wall.
Our handwriting is looking better and better.
We have started some fun curriculum for this month with our animal theme. So far we have learned about mammals and birds.
Each week of our animal theme we learn a verse to our "animal song." For mammals week we learned:
"Mammals have lungs that breathe the air. Warm blooded bodies that have fun or hair. Dogs say 'ruff ruff', cats say 'meow'. Move like a mammal, move like a mammal! Now dance like a mammal, dance like a mammal!"

We made paper bag pigs and monkey masks.
This month we have some great worksheets that help the preschoolers to categorize different kinds of animals. They are doing a great job learning about the different characteristics of mammals and birds! During our bird week we learned the verse:
"Birds have beaks but they don't have any teeth. Flying high in the sky and they can walk on two feet. Birds say 'tweet tweet'. Birds say 'tweet tweet'. Move like a bird, move like a bird! Now dance like a bird, dance like a bird!"
We made owl masks and paper bag birds with feathers! (All birds have feathers and wings, but not all birds fly!)
Next we have our week on fish, then reptiles!
