Ridgeway Preschool

We finished the alphabet with letter Uu for unicorn and underwear and letter Xx. Of course we had to read “Underpants Wonderpants” and “Bubbly Beautiful Kitty-Corn.” We made a unicorn and un**es on a wash line. Pirates looked for X marks the spot.

We are winding down to the end of school as well as the alphabet. Letter Kk. Last week for kind, king, kangaroo and kisses. Especially for Mother’s Day!

Kiddos had fun finding and counting rocks in the rice table. We made raccoon puppets. Letter Rr this week. We had to read “Rainbow Fish” ending with a chat about sharing😉.

As we near the end of the school year we doubled up our letters. Yy for Yes and yarn. Zz for zoo and zebra🦓

We celebrated Earth Day a week early for letter Ee week. As well as making a patchwork Elephant. There were eggs and grass in the water table with letter e’s inside. Miss Ruth read “Elmer the Patchwork Elephant.” Kiddos used their eyes on teacher and listening ears.

Last week was Letter Ww. We talked about weather, wheels, waiting. The water table had scoops and cups. We read “What Do Wheels Do All Day?” A cute story called “Wolf’s Chicken Stew.” (It’s not what you think!) The highlight of the week was a visit by a Pennsylvania State Police Dad along with another trooper. Kids had the opportunity to sit in the cruiser and went home with hats, backpacks, a water bottle, coloring books and stickers. We are so appreciative of their kindness.

Our week before Spring break was Dd for duck 🦆 and dinosaur 🦖 . We turned lower case d into a dinosaur and made a little duck. There were Dino’s and diggers in the water table. We read “Little Green Dragon,” “Daisy and the Monster,” and “Walk the Dog.”

Oh let me tell you about letter Oo. We made cute little owls and octopuses. We read “Tickly Octopus,” “Under the Sea”, and “Baby Owl.”

The kiddos had a fun week with letter Nn. We counted dinosaurs, bears, and clowns. Glued numbers to letter N and made a number tracing book. We read “Bear Counts” and “Chicka Chicka 1,2,3.”

Our letter of the week was Mm for monsters and mittens. We read “Go Away Big Green Monster” and “The Mitten.” There were magnets in the water table. A new month-March. Magnetic tiles to create mansions. Magnifying glasses to spy letter M around the classroom.
