T-K : Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Spring Time in Pre-K

This video shows the many spring memories that we have already created together here in Pre-K/ Transitional Kindergarten. The slideshow begins with pictures from Enrichment- learning all about the United States and the interesting places all throughout Europe.

The second group of pictures are taken before and during our field experience to the Murat Shrine Circus. What a fun time we had! The pictures following the circus were taken during "free explore" time in our classroom and a few were taken while the children were practicing their upper and lower case letters: Aa-Zz! They have learned SO much this year in Transitional Kindergarten and I am very proud of each and every student for all of their effort & true love for learning.

As you may have noticed in the pictures, we have several fun additions to our classroom, such as: the Hungry, Hungry Hippo game, a fish tank with eleven beautiful fish, a sensory table for the kids to explore in, a Post Office Station, and our very own Frog Habitat. We also have a computer for educational & Kindergarten-Prep activities, which they all have enjoyed!

Next, you will see pictures that were taken during snack time and our letter of the week was Vv. Mrs. Dinwiddie suprised the class with a healthy & yummy snack: Vegetable tray and ranch veggie dip! Everyone was very excited and seemed to love it!

There are pictures that were taken from recess time and library / story time with Ms. Batt. Oh how we love listening to Ms. Batt as she reads us wonderful stories...and don't let me forget...We get to hear both the English and Spanish version of each story! How cool is that?!~This is always a special time that we cherish each week.

Lastly, one of our favorite things here at school is when we have time to be with our 2nd grade buddies--Mrs. Breen's wonderful class! The pictures you will see on this slideshow were taken on Dr. Seuss's birthday. The 2nd grade class came to our classroom and paired up with a buddy. They then read two of their favorite Dr. Seuss books to their T-K buddy. We had an absolute ball...as always! Many thanks to our 2nd grade buddies for sharing their time and special stories with us!

Thank you for visiting our Transitional-K Blog and please be sure to come back soon!!

Much Love,

Mrs. Dinwiddie and the T-K team!

Letter of the Week:Ss and Groundhog's Day Shadow Activity

This video clip shows the children creating their letter S's by gluing sand all around the letter. The second part of this video is of our groundhog shadow activity. Each child was able to see their very own shadow, just like the groundhog did this year! At the end, they had beautiful shadow profile pictures of themselves! Please feel free to come in and see all of the profile pictures... they are posted right outside our classroom in the hallway!
