What did you do at school today?

If "we ate snacks," or "we played," are answers you typically receive, here is a tip that may help you get a better picture of what goes on at Jenny's Learning Center.

Try getting specific. Below is a list of questions relating to typical activities we do in preschool. You might try them out on your next trip home from school.

What did you make during art/craft time? Why?
What letters did you practice? What sound does that letter make?
Did you sing any songs? Can you sing one for me?
What story did you read today? What happened in the story?
Did you do any writing today? What did you write? What did you write on? (white boards, side walk, paper, etc.)

Good luck!

February News

Dear Parents,

Preschool in 2009 is moving right along with a full month behind us. The cold, snowy days(use your imagination) of January provided a host of wintry things for us to experience, everything from making snowballs to feeding winter birds. Please take a few moments to browse the pictures in the postings below to see our students in action during this past month.

Then, after a few classes of Valentine's Day fun, we will start one of my favorite themes--Grandpa's Farm! Highlights of this unit include making homemade butter and jam, milking a cow(well, something like it), and playing instruments in our own animal band. It's a lot of fun!
