JANUARY

It's always nice to have a break and it's always nice to get back on schedule. We've been having fun this month, learning about the Ocean (letter O) and the Planets (letter P). The children learned the names of the oceans, that the ocean water is salty, that 2/3 of the earth is water, and all about the animals and creatures that live in the oceans. We played a science game, "Sink or Float". Many of our classroom items were observed and we tried to decide if they would sink of float in water.

We've also learned the names of the planets in our solar system, and how the sun is NOT a planet, but a hot star. The children know a fun fact about each planet, and we observed actual photos from outer space. We are looking forward to our field trip tomorrow to the Planetarium. Check email for details.

For letter Q next week, we're talking about Quilts. The children will be making a class quilt. Also they should bring a quilt/blanket on Thursday/Friday to show to the class.

Please join me in welcoming our new interns this semester: Miss Dakota, Miss Kaitlin, Miss Alex, Miss Becca, and Miss Lindsey. They're excited to work with your children!

The mission of Adams Preschool

Adams Elementary School Preschool believes in a child directed classroom that offers hands-on opportunities for learning in a safe and clean environment. With the needs of 3 to 5 year-olds in mind, our mission is to aid and support children in their development of language, the strengthening of fine and gross motor skills, the development of cognitive skills in preparation for reading and math readiness, and socio-emotional skills. The centers in the classroom include dramatic play, art, literacy, math, and science. We believe that children learn through play and this is a vital component of our classroom. The child/teacher ratio is kept at 3 to 1 to maximize learning and offer more one on one attention. Adams views the teacher/parent relationship as a team effort and encourages parents to be active members in our classroom. Our door is always open.
