Joshua Pre-K {Q1 Update}

The first quarter ended this past Friday at school (hence why there weren't many posts last week - teaching is great, except for the end of a grading period). Here's some highlights of the first eight weeks of Pre-K and the cool things Josh has done!

We made a bird nest for science for the letter "n" sound

"L" shaped pancakes for breakfast one morning to kick off our school day

Josh made a bird feeder in science

God takes care of us, just like He takes care of the animals.
So Josh made this to hang in our front yard.

"T" cookies for Joshie's class when they studied the "T" sound

Math activity involving addition and subtraction

Jenna likes to practice too. She's ready for Pre-K next year!

Studying is hard work, huh Pepper?!

We are excited about starting this second quarter at school. Josh is singing in our Christmas Banquet with his classmates and he is learning SO much!!! I'm very proud of him!

One of the great things about attending a UMS school is that on Tuesday's and Thursday's you have enriching assignments to compliment the work done at school and to reinforce what teachers teach. One of Joshie's assignments today was in Science. He's been learning about the difference between living and non-living things. So his Science assignment was to go on a nature walk and find three living things and three non-living things. This is what we found as we walked to the mailbox:
