I'm Back online!

Hello Parents!
Sorry it has been so long since my last blog update, I have had some troubles with my computer.
We have had a great week! We started our Winter Unit, we have made shape snowmen, put snowballs into size order, Made a tear art snowflake, a snow storm with Q Tips and white glitter and put the letters of our names in order to make a long snow ball! Next week we will be focusing on Winter Clothing. If you search for "Jan Brett, The Mitten" on You Tube, you can watch the story, "The Mitten". We will be reading this book next week.
Also don't forget about your 100 things in a zip lock bag! We have received one set of Pony Beads from Wyatt, Thanks Mrs. Coley and Wyatt! I will be sending home your Icare paper on Tuesday, please try to get this filled out and returned to us as soon as possible. Our character trait this month is "To Dream".
Monday is a holiday! I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend with your children! See you next week!

Book Week Day Two!

Book week is going so well! Thank you for all the participation. Tomorrow is Pajama Day! Don't forget Friday is Book Character Day. Please help us make our parade filled with characters! The students can dress as any book character they would like as long as they have the book to carry with them. If you have any questions, please call or email me, lbitzer@liberty.k12.ga.us. Pictures coming soon!  

Fire Station!

First I want to say, our class was so well behaved! I could not of asked for them to have been any better. I am so proud of them. We learned so many things and had a blast! I hope you all enjoyed the treat bag they received from the fire fighters. Have a wonderful weekend and be proud of your child, cause they are amazing!




We went inside and toured the brand new fire station!





The fire fighters showed us all around the trucks! We got to see the hoses, all the tools, their equipment that they wear during a fire, and lots of other things.

We even got to hear the sirens!





The tires are bigger than some of our kids!





Fire Safety Week!

We have learned lots of new and important fire safety information this week. We have practiced Stop Drop and Roll, we learned several new vocabulary words (Hydrant, Extinguisher, Detector, Alarm), how to use 911, we compared Hot and Cold things, and the children came up with words that start with F for fire! They have done so well this week! A police officer came to visit on Wednesday, our class was the BEST behaved out of 4! I was so proud of them! Don't forget we will be ending our fire safety unit at the Fire Station tomorrow! The children should have lots to tell you all tomorrow afternoon. We asked for everyone to wear a red shirt.

Pizza Week!

Our Pizza unit began today! We made pizza dough, made paper plate pizzas, sang pizza songs and read pizza books! Our Pre-K Pizzeria opened in Home Living Center. The children had such a good time today. They can take orders, make pizza and deliver it. If you have any old spatulas that you would be willing to donate to our room, we would appreciate it. The children were flipping the pizzas over in the Kitchen area and we have several games that require you to flip the card over.

Please don't forget to send your family picture in!

Nursery Rhymes

We are talking about Nursery Rhymes this week. Yesterday we did Hey Diddle Diddle. The children made patterned hats that they wore home. This morning almost the whole class could read the rhyme using picture points. Ask them to tell it to you at home. Today we foucused on Itsy Bitsy Spider. We sang the song using our hands, we drew, colored, cut and pasted three sized spiders and put them into size order (Large Medium Small), some of the children made a spider web with marble paint *paper laying down in flat box, rock it back and forth to spread the paint* they got to rock the box as far as they could count out loud. It was a very busy and fun day.

Please don't forget to send in your family picture if you haven't done so!

Our Week

I wanted to say Thank You to all the parents for your understanding this week with Open House being cancelled. It has been very hard on us up here this week. Mrs. Lowe was a huge part of our school, and we will miss her very much. As soon as we know about the updated Open House I will let you all know.

This week we talked about the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. We will continue to cover this book and do activities centered around letters. You can go online (www.youtube.com) and watch the story. Type in Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and a video will come up that we have been watching. Please help us to reinforce the knowledge of the letters in their first name. We have focused mainly on the first letter in their names. Most of the students are writing their names very well. *Always encourage them to use One capital letter at the beginning and the rest lower case*

Don't forget about Impact Aid forms. If we have not called you your form is correct and we thank you! Have a WONDERFUL long weekend and be safe!
