✏️ Mrs. Martin and Mrs. McGhee’s PreK class has been working with the letter U this week. Students learned the letter name, the letter sound, and became familiar with some things that begin with the letter U. Today they put their fine motor skills to use and completed a q-tip painting. Learning letters in PreK is so much fun! 🍎🏫🎨
As a reminder, all schools and offices will be closed on Monday, January 19, 2026 in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday.
📚⭐️ Mrs. Martin’s Prek class read the book ‘The Snowy Day’ by Ezra Jack Keats. This book is about a young boy, named Peter, who experienced all of the magic of his first snowfall. After listening to the story the students used a mixture of shaving cream and glue to create a snowy scene for Peter. Students had SNOW much fun with this hands-on activity!! ❄️🛷⛄️
