St. Andrew's Preschool

St. Andrew's Preschool Please give us a call or stop by, we would love to share our wonderful program with you.

Children are naturally curious explorers who have imaginary friends and love pretend play. Exploring alternative worlds in a safe and nurturing environment helps teach them about what people are like, how people can think and the variety of things people can do. Providing everyday objects such as water, sand, plastic containers with lids and cardboard boxes help them to experience our physical world. Recognizing that there are many types of learners, we provide a variety of hands on discovery and investigation manipulative. Dress-up clothes, plastic food and recyclables can help teach about our social skills as well. While learning how to play with and amongst one another, talking to each other, negotiating, problem solving, discussing and working out problems and feelings can help nurture our emotional needs too. This allows us to learn and practice life long skills that we will be able to rely on as we get older.

Last Thursday students read Rainbow Fish. This is a story about sharing and friendship. At the art table, students used fun dauber markers to decorate their own fish. They used a down and up motion to make the circle dots for the scales. To finish off their rainbow fish, students glued on one glittery gem to represent the shiny special scale.

Today in class our students continued working with the letter R. We learned how to write capital and lowercase R’s. Next at the art table we traced another capital R.

This week our students are working with the letter R. On Monday we created rocket names at the art table. Students counted out the letters in their names to determine how many squares to select. Next they glued their squares to their papers and traced the letters of their names. They added a triangle to the top and stars to the sky to complete their projects.

Our T/Th students are exploring rectangles this week. We learned the sign language for rectangle and noticed that rectangles have two equal long sides and two equal short sides. We used many rectangles to create cows at art! This was a big multi step project that required students to focus on their cutting and placement skills. Check out the herd in our hallway!
