Next week we have a special week : It's "We Love To Read" week. I encourage you parents to come and read to your children in English or in your mother tongue. If you are interested please let me know. You are very welcome to come and read to us!!!!!

This week we are learning to recognize and sound out letter Ss for Sammy Snake. The students are thinking of words beginning with Ss. They are also learning to trace letter Ss with play dough, oil pastels and pencils. We practice the Ss sound everyday. They are doing an awesome job. Here are some pictures:

 In math, we are learning to count from one to ten using manipulatives, counting mats, numbers cards and counters and math games. In PKN we are also learning how to collect information and make different graphs such as shapes graphs, color graphs, favorite animal graphs...

 We found out that PKN's favorite shapes is circle. Ten PKN students like circles. The least favorite shape in PKN is the rectangle (only three students liked rectangle).

I want to welcome a new student in PKN. His name is Jisoo Moon and he is from Korea. He started this monday.

Student Led Conference Letter

Hello PKN

ACST PRE-SCHOOL

Student Led Conference Sign Up Sheet

The Pre-School students would like to invite you to a Student Led Conference. Each student will present to their own parents a short power point presentation about what they are learning in Pre-School. Then they will show you an activity that they like to do in their classroom.

The Pre-School Student Led Conference will take 15 minutes for each child. There will be two conferences held in the classroom at the same time.

You are invited to sign up using the form below for a time when you would like to have your conference. We will try to cater for your requests as best we can. Once the initial requests have been put in we will make up a timetable in the classroom. Parents can come and see their child’s teacher and see which times are available if changes need to be made due to clashes with older students.

If you have a child in Elementary Middle or High school you will be able to sign up on line for these sessions.

Pre-School bookings must be made with the Pre-K teacher.

Please look at the available times for your child’s class below and send in this form with your preferred times. You can suggest a couple of times that you are available as this will help if we have too many requests for the same times.

There are TWO openings for each time slot. Please return your request form as soon as possible to your child’s teacher.

From the Pre-School Teachers
