February



           February Happenings in Pre-K 

The Unit of Study for the month of February is Friendship.
Pre-K will be studying What is a friend? 
We will discussing who can be a friend, what we do with friends? and how to be a good friend? 

Friends have feelings and it is important to not only recognize how we are feeling but also how our friends feel.

Here are some of the books we are reading in class. Feel free to pick them up at your local library so you can read them together at home, too!

Pre-K 100 - Winter Study



                        Pre-K 100 is Learning All About Winter 


  During a unit of study, our center activities change to reflect the learning we are doing. This month, instead of sand in the sensory table, we made......SNOW!!!

                              Winter Sensory Snow

Ingredients for Winter Sensory Snow:
1 Bar of Soap
A roll of toilet paper torn into pieces 
1 Cup of water

First we grated the soap and ripped toilet paper into small pieces in a large bowl or a bin. 
Next, we carefully added about one cup of water. 
Finally, we mixed it up and we had created Winter Sensory Snow.


Parents, we encourage you to make this Winter Snow at home!

We also continue to study a letter each week. When we studied the letter I, we did a little cooking alongside the letter learning!


                                         "I" is for icing
We made sugar cookies from scratch and decorated them with icing after we mixed and chose our color of icing to make. 

Sugar Cookie recipe: 
2 Sticks of butter
1 Egg
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. baking powder
3 cups flour 

1. Cream butter and sugar until well mixed
2. Add vanilla and eggs mix well.
3.Add baking powder mix well.
4. Incorporate flour one cup at a time until well blended
5. Do not chill dough roll out and flatten to make shapes or bake as desired
