Island Lutheran PreSchool

Our First Week

2011-08-22T08:41:00.000-04:00

Our first week of PreSchool has gone very smoothly. Everyone adjusted quickly and is learning the routine.

Preparing for the First Day of School

2011-08-01T15:25:00.001-04:00

The Kissing Hand~A perfect first day story. This is a story about a little raccoon ready to start school. He talks about his fears to his mother, fears that most children have before beginning school. His mother comes up with a wonderful solution to help her little raccoon remember that she loves him and is thinking about him, even when she isn't with him. A wonderful and heart-warming story to share with little ones.

On the first day of school there are mixed emotions everywhere! Some children are thrilled to be at school while others have much difficulty making the home to school transition. I always read the kissing hand with my students that first day. We talk about our fears and hopes about coming to school. We also discuss how moms and dads might feel when their children are away from them.

Listen to the story online. The Kissing Hand

A New School Year

2011-07-14T08:29:00.002-04:00

Ooey, Gooey Sensory Fun!

2011-06-09T11:53:00.006-04:00

Week Two of summer camp was full of sensory activities. Each child was sent home with a small sample of our concoctions that we made each day. Below you will find the recipes to the popular creations. Enjoy!

1 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup water
food coloring

Mix ingredients together. Mixture will crumble in the hands, and then appear to liquefy.

Flubber
2 cups Elmer's Glue
Food Coloring
4 tablespoons Borax (found in the laundry section)
warm water

In one bowl mix in 1 1/2 cups of warm water, glue, and food coloring. In a seperate bowl mix in Borax with 1 1/3 cups of warm water. Pour the glue mixture into the mixture. Do not stir or mix it will form on its own. Pour off extra liquid. Store in a plastic bag.

Goop

Pre-K Handwriting

2011-01-19T09:59:00.007-05:00

Stages of Development
Pre-printing strokes usually develop in a specific sequence. However, while
there are general age guidelines for when each stage develops, children will
individually vary in the amount of time needed to pass through each stage.
The information below offers some general developmental information:
* Ages 1 and 2- The child engages in random scribbles. As the
child gets closer to age 2, the scribble will often develop a very
distinct direction-horizontal, diagonal or vertical. This is most
often done in imitation of an adult’s writing. At this stage, the
child is not ‘copying’ or reproducing a specific shape from a
picture. The child is ‘imitating’ or reproducing a form after
watching someone else draw it first.

* Ages 2 and 3- The child can copy vertical and horizontal lines.
As the child becomes nearer to age 3, circles may also be
copied.

* Ages 3 and 4- The child can imitate and then copy a cross or a
plus sign. By age 4, the child may be able to imitate and then
copy a square.

* Age 5- The child can imitate and copy a triangle. Once this is
clearly established, children are capable of learning to print.
Given these developmental levels, it is apparent that most children will not
enter kindergarten having mastered printing. The time in both prekindergarten
and kindergarten should be spent building the foundation of
prerequisite writing skills.

Dinosaur Days

2011-01-13T07:34:00.004-05:00

The children will return in January to “The Land Before Time”. We will learn about the time of the dinosaurs and become young paleontologists.

Books used in the classroom:
Dinosaur Bones by Bob Barner
A Trio Of Triceratops by Bernard Most
Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones by Byron Barton

Dinosaur Song
To the tune of "I'm a little Teapot"
I'm a little dinosaur ready to hatch,
Tapping at my shell,
Scratch, scratch, scratch.
When I crack it open, up I'll jump,
And walk around with a
Stomp, Stomp, Stomp!

"Little Stegosaurus"
Tune of "Little Bunny Foo Foo"
Little Stegosaurus tromping through the forest,
Munching on the green plants from morning until night.

Down came a T. Rex, and it said,
"Little stegosaurus,
I don't want to see you
Munching all the green plants from morning until night.
I'll give you [three chances],
And if you don't do as I say,
I'm going to have you for dinner-yum, yum, yum!"

Our curriculum focus will be on the letters D, X and M; the number 6; the color purple; and the oval shape.

Bible Stories
Jesus in the Temple
The Baptism of Jesus
Jesus Calls the Disciples
Jesus Heals a Paralyzed Man

The Value of PreSchool Activities: Play is Learning!!

2010-09-02T08:12:00.004-04:00

When your child plays in the housekeeping corner: He learns what the roles of mothers and fathers and children are. He understands what it feels like to play at being somebody other than himself. He learns how to use his imagination. He learns how to cooperate with other children.

A Visit to Our Classroom

2010-08-24T07:51:00.008-04:00

Say hello to Martin! Martin is our class mascot. Through out the year Martin will join the children as they discover their PreSchool classroom and the world around them. Martin can often be found in the library center listening to a story read by the children. Let's follow Martin as he leads us around our classroom.

The Art Center

When your child makes a gift out of paper and paste: They learn about doing things for others. They learn how to use materials like scissors and glue. They learn how to use her imagination to make the kind of present he/she has in mind. Again, the process, “not” the finished product, is important to them. They learn about shapes, sizes, colors, and textures.

Learning Through Play

2009-10-06T11:05:00.006-04:00

The Housekeeping Center
When your child plays in the housekeeping corner:
He learns what the roles of mothers and fathers and children are.
He understands what it feels like to play at being somebody other than himself.
He learns how to use his imagination.
He learns how to cooperate with other children.

To reinforce the themes in our curriculum we will often change housekeeping to an area of interest in the children's life.
After a visit from our family doctor, our housekeeping center is set up like a doctor's office.

Fall Is All Around Us

2008-10-16T13:54:00.010-04:00

We started the month of October talking about the changing seasons. We worked together as a class to make 4 seasons of a tree posters to hang in our science center. We also went on a leaf walk and found many shapes of leaves. Take a walk the your child to discuss the many changes happening out side. Challenge them to name the shapes and colors of each leaf. We used the leaves we found to make leaf rubbings and leaf prints.
We had lots of fun talking about our pumpkins. We used descriptive words to describe both the outside and inside of a pumpkin. The children helped clean out the inside of our ooey, gooey pumpkin.

When we finished we enjoyed our pumpkin seeds toasted. YUM YUM GOOD! Painting of a Fall Tree at the Art Center. The children used a bottle brush to make the leaves.Meet Mr. Bob, he has been leading the children in our weekly Chapel Time.

Our Field Trip to the Fire Station. Thank you to these great men how help our at the PreSchool every month.

The firemen dressed in their full turnout gear for the children to see that there is nothing for them to be scared of if a fireman ever needs to come into their room.Please help us welcome Pastor Dan and his wife.

The children will welcome autumn with fun crafts designed to practice fine motor skills, cooking activities to entice the senses and math/science lessons of discovery. Each Child will need to bring a pumpkin to school by October 13-14. The pumpkins will be used in many sorting, counting and categorizing activities. Pumpkins will be returned Oct. 23 & 24.

Doughnuts For Dad

2008-04-24T14:52:00.000-04:00

The past two days we welcomed our Dad's into the classroom. We enjoyed a doughnut (or two) with Dad and showed him around our room. We especially liked when Dad took a few minutes to play with us.

Thanks Dads for joining us. Of course we had a few moms who could not resist stopping in. Don't worry we will have a day for you too.

Would you eat them in a box?

2008-03-06T13:38:00.000-05:00

Would you eat them with a fox? Do you like green eggs and ham? Our Butterfly class agreed that they love Green Eggs and Ham! In fact it was given a thumbs up!

Not only did the children eat everything on their plates, but they came back for seconds, thirds, and even fourths!

The children have been busy preparing for the Patriotic Parade. We honored our vets with a homemade flag by the butterfly class.
Throughout February the children learned wher the president lives, a little about his White House, and who can become a president of The United States.
