Hi Parents and Students. We will be singing Big House by Audio Adrenaline in church on a Wednesday Night Service. I will let you know the date as soon as I have it but I wanted to get the lyrics to you so you can work on it at home. You can listen to the song on here but please note that it is a Veggie Tales version so the people singing may sound different than the one we listen to in class.
"Big House"I don't know where you lay your head
or where you call your home
I don't know where you eat your meals
or where you talk on the phone
I don't know if you got a cook
a butler or a maid
I don't know if you got a yard
with a hammock in the shade
I don't know if you got some shelter
say a place to hide
I don't know if you live with friends
in whom you can confide
I don't know if you got a family
say a mom or dad
I don't know if you feel love at all
but I bet you wish you had
[PRE-CHORUS]
Come and go with me
to my Fathers house
Come and go with me
to my Fathers house
[CHORUS]
It's a big big house
with lots and lots a room
A big big table
with lots and lots of food
A big big yard
where we can play football
A big big house
Its my Fathers house
All I know is a big ole house
with rooms for everyone
All I know is lots a land
where we can play and run
All I know is you need love
and I've got a family
All I know is your all alone
so why not come with me?
[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]

Week of September 25 - October 1, 2011
I can't believe it is almost the end of September already! We are starting our letters, numbers, and colors of the week. I am excited to start this new adventure with the kids!
For three year olds this week:
Our theme is Farm Animals. We will be learning all about the different farm animals, the sounds they make, what they eat, and if they lay eggs or provide milk. Our letter of the week is the letter N,n. We have a few activities that will help us learn what the letter looks like as well as the sound the letter makes. Our number of the week is 1. We will be learning how to write it as well as do many activities to reinforce one to one counting. The color of the week is red. We will be talking about what things are the color red.
For four year olds this week:
Our theme is Farm Animals. We will be learning all about the different farm animals, the sounds they make, what they eat, and if they lay eggs or provide milk. Our letter of the week is the letter N,n. We have a few activities that will help us learn what the letter looks like as well as the sound the letter makes. Our number of the week is 1. We will be learning how to write it as well as do many activities to reinforce one to one counting and how to spell O-N-E. The color of the week is red. We will be talking about what things are the color red. We are introducing "sight" words this week as well. The sight words for this week are "the" and "my." I am going to be sending home some flash cards with the letter of the week as well as the sight word of the week so you can practice at home.
The four year old class will be going on a field trip to the firehouse on October 14th. I will give you more details as I find them out.
If you are looking for different activities to reinforce what we are learning at school here are a few suggestions:
-Point out letters all around you. When you go to the store, show your child the letters that spell out the store name on the sign. This helps children see that letters actually make up words and those words help us in everyday life.
-When you see shapes in your everyday surroundings, point them out. This will reinforce the names of the shapes. You can also make it into a game. Ask your child if they can find something square, circular, rectangular, triangular, etc.
-Ask your child to bring you something that is red, blue, purple, etc. This will help reinforce the names of colors and show them that there may be several different shades of the same color.
There are so many things you can do, that do not cost anything, to help reinforce the things your child is learning in school.

Week of September 11-17, 2011
I hope everyone has had a great weekend and is ready for another fun week in preschool!
Just a few reminders:
-If you have not brought an extra set of clothes for your child and left it at school, please do so this week. The extra set of clothes is just in case they get wet during snack, spill paint on them, or have an accident.
-Please send your child to school in closed toed shoes. The rocks from the playground can hurt their little feet when we go out to play.
-The sidewalks are going to be repaired this week. We will not be able to use the door that leads into our classroom. Please use the door that leads into Mrs. Fisher's room.
-I have a few things that need to be cut out if anyone is willing to do this for me. Just let me know.
This week's theme is COLORS. We will be learning all about the colors of the rainbow.

First week of school
What a great first week of school we have had! Our theme this week has been "All About Me" and we had a lot of fun meeting new friends.
We are going to make our classroom a peanut free zone since we have some students with allergies. Please do not bring anything that has peanuts in it for snack time. I encourage the students to not share their snack but sometimes the children have big sharing hearts so we need to just keep the peanuts out of the classroom. If you have concerns, please talk to me about them.
The sign up sheet for parent volunteers is posted on the door. Please only sign up for one day to allow other parents to participate in the classroom as well.
Thank you to all the parents for sharing your precious children with me in the classroom this year.
