Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

We had a fun time celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday to day at Ready Set School Preschool Hour.  We talked about him and what books he wrote, read a couple of books and made cute crafts. We had a drawing for one of Dr. Seuss books too. Candy and Mandy also made some yummy cupcakes for us to enjoy. Thanks to all who came to celebrate with us.

Tip of the Week

My Feelings: Today we are going to learn about the letter D and feelings. We will be using puppets to display different emotions and taking turns being a part of a puppet show.  I will also have a mirror to show the kids what their faces look like when they are wearing different emotions.

Ready, Set School Preschool Hour

Our Ready Set School Preschool Hour happens every Tuesday at 10:00am.

It is taught by Michele Chatterton a certified and licensed elementary education teacher. This class is for children ages 0-4. We learn about the lessons taught in the Ready Set School Program. We also learn about a letter of the alphabet each week. The children in the class bring something that starts with the letter of the day. Check our calendar to see which letter we are going to be learning about. We also have calendar time where we learn the days of the week, weather, months of the year, etc. We read stores, sing songs, play games and learn a little sign language. Come join the fun!
