Reading With the 7th Graders

We loved having the 7th graders visit the preschool to read stories to us!

A Special Christmas for the Chadron Preschool Students

The last day before Christmas break our students were invited to Walstrom Ford to "Shop With a Cop". They met Santa and picked a gift out with a police officer.

Later in the afternoon some kind people from the Methodist church donated shoes to every child at Head Start...what a special gift!

Love Rocks party!

Our classroom is all about treating others with love and respect.  Students are given opportunities throughout the day to fill our "Love Rocks." jar with a rock when they are caught being kind or helpful to someone else.  The students filled the Love Rocks jar by the last week of Halloween, so we had a celebration!  We dressed up in our costumes and played games. 

We continue to work hard treating others with respect so we can fill the jar again!

Pre-K Math with Goldfish Crackers

The Chadron preschool studied the ocean and fish this past week. Students worked on math skills by sorting, graphing, counting, and patterning rainbow goldfish crackers.

 

Hunter and Jaydea count their goldfish crackers and determine who has more.

Goldfish cracker math is so much fun!

Learning About Our Community

This past we week the preschool has been studying community helpers.  We learned who some of our community helpers are and where to find certain places, such as the fire station, police station, hospital, etc. in our community.  At the end of the week, we wrote letters to our families, stamped them, and took a field trip to the post office to deliver them.  The postal workers were very kind and gave us a tour of the post office.  We saw so many different community helpers, vehicles, and buildings on our walk to the post office!

Welcome to the 2014-2015 School Year

1st Day of Preschool

We are ready for a new year of exciting learning experiences and preparing for kindergarten. We kicked off our first week learning about classroom rules and expectations.  We read a story about Pete the Cat who was rocking in his school shoes.  We took pictures of our own school shoes and put together a classroom book of the class "rocking in their school shoes."  We learned about bus safety rules and are ready to ride the school bus next week!
