Ms. Dessie's PreK Classes Keep on Learning



The last few months in Ms. Dessie's classes have brought some new and exciting learning opportunities.  We have had visits from firemen and a dentist, teaching us how to be safe and healthy.  We have been able to have a field trip to a grocery store and do some "shopping."  At the Fry's grocery store we even got to go in back and see the deep freeze section, pet a lobster, sample some foods and our favorite...using the scanner to check out our items, just like a grown-up!  Thank you Fry's!  

We have been sampling some interesting foods lately.  Green eggs and ham for G week was a surprise because most students liked them.  The big hit though in the food area was the homemade ice cream we made in the bag.  We shook and  shook the ingredients until we had our frozen treat.  YUM! We have also sampled grapes, and jams.  We love to graph our results and talk about words like most, least, fewer and favorite.

In handwriting, we have completed learning all our capital letters that start at the corner and are on to finishing up the alphabet.   Once the capitals are conquered then it is on to the lower case letters. We have also learned how to write our numbers 1-9 now!  Most exciting is to see students be able to start sounding out CVC words.  I like to  remind the students that they are really reading and they love to figure out all the sounds in the words.   We are getting so ready for Kindergarten and we love it!

Tasting Green Eggs and Ham for G Week.  Most of the kids tried them and would eat them again!

Learning about how to take care of our teeth...brush, brush, brush!

Feeling very grown-up when checking out.
