THEME: WELCOME TO SCHOOL!

Welcome to Perry Park Preschool and the first Weekly Update of the school year.
Each week you will receive an email containing the weekly update which lists activities and events for the upcoming week(s).

The first weeks of school will focus on introducing the children to the rules and
routines of the classroom and the playground. The children will be learning new songs to
sing for greeting hello, clean-up time and good-bye. They will have the opportunity to explore many interest centers in the classroom including blocks, dramatic play, play dough, puzzles, and the science area.

Art exploration will include painting at the easel, using scissors and glue sticks,
painting with watercolors and decorating a place card for snack time.

WEEK OF: SEPTEMBER 18 – 22, 2023
THEME: GETTING TO KNOW YOU

This week at Perry Park the children will continue to explore new centers in the classroom. Circle time activities will include singing songs and playing games to help learn the names of our teachers and new friends. Other friendship activities will include creating a handprint tree for the classroom, finger painting with friends and painting Bag Buddies (which the children will take home at the Open House).

Also, this week we will begin our letter of the week activities with A is for Apple.

A favorite song we sing at circle time:

“I AM SPECIAL”
I am special, I am special.
So are you, so are you.
We can work together; we can play together.
At preschool, at preschool.
