Mrs. Ali's Preschool Class

KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION NEWS:

Our preschoolers do not need to complete all the papers for kindergarten registration. They are already registered for kindergarten. If you have moved, you need to complete a new application, and provide new address documentation. If you have not moved, then your child only has to have a new physical and updated immunizations. These two are a must for attending kindergarten. YOU DO NOT NEED TO FILL OUT THE REGISTRATION FORMS, BECAUSE YOUR CHILD IS ALREADY REGISTERED.

Preschoolers that will be attending McCollough for kindergarten, will have to check the McCollough School Home page, for details on kindergarten. McCollough will probably be doing a virtual kindergarten round-up in August. If your preschooler is attending another school, please check that schools website for information on kindergarten.

Today is going to start out as a nice warm day, and I would like you to go outside this morning, at around 11:30 -12:25. The Blue Angels Air Force Planes are going to flyover Dearborn. You can look up into the sky and see an AMAZING and FAST FLYOVER IN THE SKY.

Remember, to give your Mom the special card you made for her on Sunday, May 10 for MOTHER’S DAY. Make her a special breakfast too.

It was so good seeing many of you yesterday, and the smiles on your faces! It brought a big smile on my face too. We hope you liked your bag full of goodies and fun stuff to do.

I am working on the recommendations, for the students going to kindergarten and the students recommended for Young 5’s. I will complete the paperwork by the end of this week. It is so important to send me the T Chart I showed you how to make, with the letters your child knows and the letters that still need to be learned. You update the list each day, as they know more letters.

ACTIVITIES FOR TODAY:

-Decorate the card you started yesterday, with some pretty flowers, be sure to use different color crayons or markers

Love, ____________________ (your name on the line)

-During your work time, see how many different color of toys you have and see which color has the most toys

-See which color has the least number of toys

-Make something out of all the toys, and then tell your family a story about what you made, and they can write your story on paper, after you finish drawing a picture of what you made

Have a fun day and go outside to play… it is a beautiful sunny day:)))

Today is also know as April Fools Day! That means that you can think of a silly joke to trick your family. For example, if you are all sitting and having dinner, you can say to you mom or dad, “Oh no, there is a spider on your head.” Then you say, April Fools!

Activities to work on today:

-Practice writing the letters, Uu, Vv, Ww.

-Remember to say the letter sound and the name of each letter.

-Look through a book, and try to find the letters, say the letter and sound when you find each letter.

-Think of a word that starts with each letter, like Uncle, for the letter Uu, Violin for the letter Vv, and Water for the letter Ww. I know you will think of more words too.

-Pick your favorite book and call or FaceTime your grandmother or grandfather, or cousins, and read the book to them. They will love hearing all the words you use to talk about each page. You are all amazing readers!

-Keep writing your name and practice your first and last name. Remember the space between your first and last name, and you can use one finger space, right?

-Please remember to be a good helper at home and do your chores and exercise too.

I miss all of you:)))

The month of March is always a busy month, and a fast month. We celebrate March is Reading Month, with some parents as guest readers. The preschoolers were so excited to see their parents reading a favorite story to their friends. We will have parent teacher conferences, in April, and will share information with the parents. Please remember to continue the learning at home. Kindergarten round up information will be shared, and is also on the calendar.

We had a great March Parent meeting doing an amazing Hungry Caterpillar Project and played Alphabet Bingo For Books. Everyone was a winner!

Please complete the following survey for our GSRP Program.

Spring break is the week of March 28, and schools re-open Monday, April 4.

Please keep working with your children, during this time at home, and be safe and healthy.

December has been such a fun and festive month, as we really got into winter weather.  We learned about the different kinds of clothes we need to wear in the cold winter weather, and learned about the difference between mittens and gloves. We learned about germs too!   We looked on the big map of the United States and found our state of Michigan.  We talked about the shape of Michigan, and that it is shaped like a mitten!

We really hope to have a  great turn out for our winter fair, this week, on Thursday, December 16.  Remember, to attend the time you signed up for, either 8:30 am or 10:00 am.  This will be a fun and festive hour with your preschooler.  We have planned many fun activities,  and you will be able to explore and do some fun activities together.  We hope to see you:)))

Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!

Dear Families,

We are almost at the end of November, soon to be December. We are wishing all of you many blessings for a Happy Thanksgiving Holiday, and hope you enjoy the time with your family. Ask your child to sing the song, 1 little, 2 little, 3 little turkeys, say GOBBLE, GOBBLE, GOBBLE.

If the district decides to go online to remote learning, I will email you and reach you on the phone also. Please check your personal email, and also the Dearborn Public Schools website for any updates. No decisions have been made at this time.

Today is a rainy day, and the perfect day to sing the song, “Good Morning Mr. Sun”, to your family. Remember, it is the song we sing every morning on the carpet?

Tra lalalalala, tra lalalalala, and repeat this part and clap your hands too! Tell your family what your favorite part of the day was. Remember, to tell your family we walked in the long hallway and saw the school office, the cafeteria and played in the gym, We had so much fun!
