Ms. Dessie's PM PreK classes

We had some fun right before Christmas Break making gingerbread houses, drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cookies.   We even made snowmen, although there was no real snow.  We hope you get to see our version of a Phoenix snowman (made with shaving cream and glue).  They are great because our snowmen will not melt.  The best part I thought was getting to wear our pajamas to school.  I think I could get used to that kind of attire everyday!

2013 is here and we are off to a great start!   I am so pleased to know that our students remembered all the important things we learned before break.  We really have picked up where we left off.  YEAH!    Besides reviewing a bit, we look forward to doing more advanced handwriting (smaller letters and adding the lower case) to get ready for Kindergarten.  We will also finish up the alphabet N-Z and give each letter their deserved week.   Expect to hear your student start to read soon, since they really do know the letter sounds well.   We will start  "sounding out"  CVC words and learning a few sight words. We will also continue to work in math, adding and then subtracting single digit numbers, graphing, writing numbers and number word recognition.   So much to learn to get ready for Kindergarten but we are well on our way.  How fast time flies when you are having fun, which I think we all are!
