🌟 Meigs County PreK: Celebrating Curiosity & Critical Thinking! 🌟
We're proud of the engaging learning happening in our PreK classrooms! Here's a quick look at what we've been exploring this week:

🍃 Scientists in the Classroom
Our students are deep into seasonal science!
We've been studying leaves, learning that they are the food-makers for trees and observing the veins that carry water.
We felt the difference between smooth, soft leaves and dry, crunchy ones, which led to discussions about how things decompose in nature.

🌉 Engineers in Training
We used the story of the Gingerbread Boy to practice vital skills!
Students brainstormed how he could cross the water, settling on solutions like a boat or a bridge.
Working in teams, they designed and built their ideas! This hands-on problem-solving builds creativity, resilience, and critical thinking skills essential for success in school and life.

🏡 PreK Learning at Home: December Ideas!
Keep the learning going throughout the holidays with these simple, fun activities:
1. Read Daily: Cozy up and read a book together every day. Look for stories about winter, holidays, or different cultures.
2. Make a Pattern Chain: Use construction paper strips (red/green/white or any colors you have) to make a paper chain for decorating. Have your child follow a pattern (e.g., red, green, red, green) when linking the strips together. This helps develop early math skills in sequencing!
3. Kitchen Science: Let your child help measure ingredients for baking. This is a great, hands-on introduction to math concepts, such as volume and fractions.

We wish all our families a wonderful start to the holiday season!

Reminder: Meigs County Schools will be closed for Thanksgiving Break from Monday, November 24th through Friday, November 28th.

All students will return to school on Monday, December 1st.

We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday!

Meigs County Schools will be dismissing early this Friday, November 21st at 12:00 Noon.

Have you ever seen counting turn into engineering? 🌟 Our Meigs County preschoolers have! They're practicing counting and number recognition, experimenting with scales and balance, and bringing "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" to life with puppets and bridges. 🐐🌉 Play-based learning connects literacy, art, math, and engineering — and it’s amazing to watch these little problem-solvers in action.

Today, we honor and thank the brave veterans of our community and across the nation for their service and sacrifice. 🇺🇸 Your courage protects our freedoms and inspires our students every day. To all who served — we are grateful.

What a great day in Pre-K! A big shout-out to Mrs. Joy and Mrs. Jan for making learning so much fun! ❤️
Mrs. Joy kicked things off by reading Goldilocks and the Three Pancakes 🥞🐻 to everyone.
Then, in small groups:
Mrs. Jan's group had a blast decorating pancakes! This was a super fun way to practice fine motor skills (getting ready for handwriting!) and early literacy with a "book walk." 📚
Mrs. Joy's group was busy teaching "Lila Letter" 🔤 all about the /m/ and /a/ sounds, matching sounds to letters.
From pancake decorating to letter sounds, our students are nailing their milestones by learning through play! Awesome job, everyone!
🏡 Continue the Learning at Home!
Practice Letter Sounds: Go on a sound hunt! "I see something that starts with the /m/ sound... milk!"
Find Fine Motor Fun: Have your child help with "pinching" (sprinkles, peeling a clementine) or zipping their own jacket.
Take a "Picture Walk": Before reading a book, look at the pictures together and ask, "What do you think is happening here?"

Please join us at the Kickin' It With Kids event October 16, 2025 at the Meigs County Fairgrounds from 5:30-7:00PM.

Happy Friday, Meigs County families!

Get ready for some well-deserved rest and relaxation! 🤩 Our Fall Break will be from October 6th through October 10th. We hope you all have a wonderful and safe break.

School will resume on October 13th.
