🧱 Building Big Skills in Pre-K! 🧱
A huge shoutout to Ms. Jan's small group for an amazing week of "building!" This unit on structures is about more than just blocks and materials; it's about building foundational skills in engineering, literacy, and critical thinking.
They started the week with the classic tale of "The Three Little Pigs." 🐷🐷🐷 After reading the story, the students discussed how the different houses were built. Then, they put their own engineering skills to the test, working together to design and build structures.
Ms. Jan played the part of the Big Bad Wolf 🐺, but she was no match for our Pre-K builders! She huffed and puffed, but their houses stood strong. This fun activity is a powerful way for students to learn about cause and effect, problem-solving, and basic engineering principles.
🏡 Build on the Fun at Home!
Want to keep the learning going? Try these simple activities:
Go on a Compound Word Hunt: Look for compound words around your house or in the car. Point out words like toothbrush, bedroom, popcorn, sunglasses, or driveway. Ask your child if they can "break" the word into its two smaller parts.
The "Hometown" Huff & Puff Test: Challenge your child to build a tower using different materials (blocks, pillows, plastic cups, cardboard boxes). Have fun playing the "Big Bad Wolf" and see which structures are the strongest!
Talk Like an Engineer: When building, use new vocabulary! Ask questions like, "Do you think this will be a sturdy base?" or "What will support the roof?" This builds their vocabulary and scientific understanding.

Our word for the month of November is gratitude. Gratitude means taking time to notice and appreciate the good things in our lives and showing thankfulness to others. It's about recognizing the people, moments, and little blessings that make each day special. We can show gratitude by saying "Thank You" when someone helps us, taking care of our materials and supplies, helping out without being asked, writing a kind note or complimenting someone, or telling people how much they mean to you.
Meigs North held it first Red Ribbon Week Parade on October 31, 2025. Local organizations participated to hand out candy and remind students to remain drug free. We want to thank Mrs. Rachael Lee for contacting agencies and setting up the event. The students were super excited.
