Week in Review

It's been a busy week! Who are we kidding? It's always busy in Pre-K!

listening to a friend read a story in the reading area

This week we kicked off our tree study by talking about the size of trees and the different parts of trees. We read a book that is a favorite each year, Abiyoyo, which is a retelling of a story about a giant who is defeated by a small boy and his father.

This is the audio version of the story we read. The students love to help with the magic wand sound effects! Abiyoyo is the giant in the story and we talked about things, like giants, that are bigger than trees while we were discussing size.

A special thanks as well to all who have sent in items they've collected from trees! We have quite a collection so far and the students are enjoying exploring all of the different items.

Wednesday the students participated in a lesson about butterflies presented by Ms. Sarah from the Farm Bureau. As part of the Ag in the Classroom program we will be visited once a month and a lesson on a topic related to farming will be presented.
