Dear PreK Families,
We hope that you all had a restful and healthy winter break. We have jumped back into our PreK
routines here at school.
routines here at school.
This week we have the Upper Valley Smiles Program visiting. Some students saw the dental hygienist
team for a tooth check-up. Students who saw the team went home with a goodie bag and a report
from the hygienist. We also had a dental hygienist visit the classroom to talk with the students about
eating healthy foods and how to take care of our teeth. Our students knew so much about eating
healthy snacks and that we need to brush our teeth two times every day. Please ask your child what
he or she remembers from Miss Rebecca’s lesson.

Currently, we are working on an author study unit about Dr. Seuss. We will be reading any of his well
known books, including The Many Colored Days, The Cat in the Hat, Bartholomew and the Oobleck,
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, The Lorax, and Green Eggs and Ham. This has also been a
time to practice rhyming songs and games. We even made Oobleck in the classroom this week. It
was very slimy. (Oobleck recipe). We will also do some more craft projects and we will celebrate
Dr. Seuss next week. On any day, next week, your child may bring in his or her favorite Dr.
Seuss book from home. Please make sure to label your child’s book with his/her name.

Also, on Monday, our school will be participating in Global School Play Day. Our PreK program is
play-based, and we will have a regular morning schedule. Your child may bring in a toy to play with
during the morning on Monday. The toy must be hand-held sized and should not be electronic.We will
share about the toys at circle time.

Our class has continued to practice yoga on a regular basis, at about 4 days per week. Once a week,
we do yoga from the Cosmic Yoga webpage on YouTube for Schools. The students already learned
the yoga poses in our classroom sessions and are now able to follow along with the on-line yoga
classes. We usually do a 5 minute yoga class from Cosmic Yoga. This might be a fun activity to do
at home on a rainy day.
