Kicking off a Great Year!

What a great start to the new school year! Our groups are small to start, but I see them filling up very quickly. August has given us fun stories such as "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?" "Each Peach, Pear, Plum" and "Goodnight Moon."

We practicing making out weekly target sounds while rolling out play-doh. For our Goodnight Moon lesson we practiced making "moons" while focusing on using intial sounds and pushing our lips together. Some students worked on marking 3 or more syllables such as "elephant, banana, and umbrella."

Students practicing their target sounds by tossing a bean bag onto a flashcard and saying the word 3 times and then repeating the sentence.

Ms. Lorraine had a cool water experiment where the blue water went up the paper towel and the red water went up the paper towel and when the colors met in the middle, the paper towel turned PURPLE!

We explored textures and words like "smooth" and "rough" while making a moon and stars. 

Just a reminder that classes on Tuesday, August 28 will NOT meet due to Ms. Sarah and Ms. Lorraine being out of the district for the entire day. Monday classes will NOT meet on Monday, September 2 due to the Labor Day holiday. Tuesday classes WILL meet on Tuesday, September 3 at their usual times! Have a great week! Ms. Sarah and Ms. Lorraine

Update on Parking

We have just been informed that a fence is going up to separate our Early Childhood center from the Brown Car Rider line. This will require preschool parents to enter our parking lot off of EASTERN AVENUE. I do not believe you will be able to enter off of Grant Street any longer. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call! 852-1046, ext. 2021

Wecome to 2013-14!

Awesome April!

After an energizing spring break, Phonology Preschool was back at 'em for April.  The kids have finished learning all of the Zoo Phonics animal cues to go with the uppercase letters.  YAY!

I think the thing the students loved most this month was making elephant toothpaste with Miss Stacey, our graduate SLP extern from Purdue University. 

 

 

 

Just a reminder that Phonology is cancelled next week (April 29, 30, May 1, and 2) with the exception of Friday May 3 (due to last week's cancellation with the high water). 

 

Miss Stacey's last day will be Friday, May 10.  We will miss her as she moves on to her hospital practicum.  We also want to congratulate her on her June wedding!!

 

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Ms. Sarah and Ms. Lorraine



PHONOLOGY PRESCHOOL IS CLOSED!

Due to area flooding and closed roads, Brownsburg Schools are on a 2 hour delay which means the 8:15am phonology preschool class is CLOSED today. 

Apologies for any inconvenience.  We will see you next Friday!

Thanks,
Sarah, Lorraine and Stacey

Brownsburg Early Childhood Center

The BCSC preschool staff is very excited to be moving to our own center next fall!  The Browsnburg Early Childhood Center (ECC) will be housed at 310 N. Stadium Drive.  If you have lived in Brownsburg a few years you will recognize this building as the former Brownsburg Recreation Center...and before that Lincoln Elementary. 

We are excited to announce that preschool registration for our community preschool programs (2, 3, and 5 day--half days) is OPEN.  Parents can go to the BCSC home page (http://www.brownsburg.k12.in.us/) and the link is right there.  If you have sent in a paper copy of the application and $100 deposit to hold your spot, you will still need to complete the official registration on line.  Tuition information is available on the website.  The ECC will follow the Brownsburg school calendar. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

 

Have a great week!

Ms. Sarah

 

 

WELCOME Miss Stacey!
