October 2019 Preschool Press
Mrs. Julie’s Preschool 4s
From the Teacher
Happy Halloween!
The first month of Preschool went GREAT! We had a fun time getting back into the swing of things and welcomed back our friends we missed over the summer!
October is full of fun activities including Fire Safety, Pumpkins, and Halloween!
If you ever have any questions about anything, please let me know. My email is [email protected].

What are We Learning
Literacy
We will be reviewing the letters D, E, F, and G with the letter sounds, and thinking of words that start with each letter. The children will continue to spell their name and practice writing their name.
Math
The children will be counting dinosaurs and ducks, Pumpkin Counting, graphing fish, flamingo number cards, and a bat number match. We will also be doing a Witches’ Brew Count It.
Science
We will be mixing red and yellow together to see what it makes, and making dinosaur fossils. The children will be doing a frog and a bat sensory bins. After we go to the Pumpkin Patch, the children will be investigating pumpkins and playing with pumpkin spice playdough. We will get to experiment with Witches’ Brew Foam as well!
Physical
For Gross Motor, we will have a fire bowling, tossing eggs, frog jumping, and playing Red Light Green Light. For Fine Motor, the children will be using tweezers, scissor practice, and writing letters and numbers in sand trays.
