The students loved holding one of the vehicles while they listened for their part. When they heard their vehicle's name sang they put the picture in the middle. It is a fun rhyming song that builds important literacy and listening skills. It is sung to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Other Transportation songs we sang with actions this week include: Baby Car, Bicycle, and Drive my Car.
Name Rockets
The Pre-K's matched the letters of their name to their name tags and then pasted them in order to make a rocketship. They loved adding glitter for the fire after!
Drawing Mat Man
The Pre-K's worked on their fine-motor and pre-printing skills by drawing mat man as we sang the mat man song. The mat man song is great for building body awareness and the Pre-K's did a great job drawing a person!
Paper Plate Cars
In this fun fine-motor skills building craft, the Pre-K students first painted their car, half paper plate, then once they were dry, glued on all the parts: wheels, windows, and bumpers.
Transportation Stations
We participated in 3 rotating car stations. The Pre-K's made a car snack, drove cars on the different tape roads we made in the hall, and painted roads on paper by driving hot wheels through paint. These activities support fine and gross motor development and were loads of fun too!
Galaxy Glitter Bottles
Finally, thank you to everyone who sent in plastic bottles. Each student got to pick a bottle and their choice of glitter. With the addition of clear glue, warm water, and lots of shaking, these glitter bottles were ready to go! We love to shake them up and it is very calming to watch the glitter fall. You don't have to worry about these bottles making a mess, we have glued the lids shut so they should be safe for your children to enjoy.

Staffing Update
Pre-kindergarten has recently had a staffing change. As the school needs and dynamics change throughout the school year, our educational assistants are sometimes shuffled to best meet the needs of the students within our school. Our morning class has welcomed Mrs. Howatt to the team, welcome Mrs. Howatt! Ms. Sloan will now be working full time in grade two with Ms. Coleman's class. You will be missed Ms. Sloan, be sure to sneak down for hugs whenever you can!
