🌟 High Quality Learning & Life Lessons
Not only do our PreK teachers follow a high-quality curriculum, but they also use their creative minds to teach important life lessons! ✨
During a transition time, Ms. Jenna and Ms. Chrissy focused on a truly important skill: kindness. For a meaningful lesson in friendship, students practiced giving a compliment or saying something kind to a friend before passing them the ball. It was beautiful to watch their focus and generosity!
Thank you, Ms. Jenna, for this great idea!
💡 Bringing the Kindness Home: Parent Pointers
Want to reinforce this skill at home? Here are a few quick tips:
**The Dinner Compliment Game:** At the dinner table, have each family member say one kind thing about another person at the table.
**Kindness Spotting:** Ask your child, "What's the kindest thing you saw someone do today?" This helps them notice and value positive actions.
**"I Can Help" Moments:** Give your child small, specific jobs to help a family member (e.g., "Can you please help your sister pick up her toys?" or "Can you help me set the table?"). This builds a habit of helpfulness and generosity.

Mrs. Kala's Kindergarten Class met their attendance goal today! As a reward, her students were allowed to bring their favorite stuffie to school. We are learning that great attendance is a direct correlation to great learning! Way to go Mrs. Kala's class.

🤩 Shoutout to Ms. Chrissy & Ms. Jenna's Pre-K Class! 🐑
Look at these adorable learners helping Little Bo Peep find her lost sheep! This week, the class mixed nursery rhyme fun with a fantastic shaving cream sensory activity. It's wonderful to see the kids learning through play—exploring textures, engaging their imaginations, and strengthening those fine motor skills all at once!
Keep up the great work, everyone! We are so proud of you! ❤️
Parent Tips for Rhyme Time at Home 🏠
Want to keep the nursery rhyme excitement going? Here are a few quick tips for parents to encourage literacy, memory, and language skills at home:
Make it Active: Don't just recite—act it out! For "Jack and Jill," pretend to fall down. For "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," grab a partner and "row" while sitting on the floor. Movement helps little ones remember and understand the words.
Get Silly with Art: After reciting a rhyme, have your child draw a picture of the characters. It doesn't have to be perfect—the focus is on recalling the details. You can even use finger paint or playdough to make it another fun sensory experience!
Create a Rhyme Book: Print out the words to a few favorite nursery rhymes. Staple them together and let your child decorate the cover. Point to the words as you read, showing them how printed text matches the sounds you are saying, which is an important step toward reading readiness.
What's your child's favorite nursery rhyme right now? Share it in the comments! 👇

🌟 What an incredible lesson in Ms. Tabitha & Ms. Erica's class exploring apples and bananas! 🍏🍌 Students engaged in a brilliant Five Senses science activity, using deep observation and critical thinking! They compared their own skin to the fruit’s peel, discovering that both layers protect what lies beneath!
From feeling soft spots on apples to hearing the crunch, every sense was in action! 👀👃👂👋👅
Parent Corner: Extend the fun at home with these activities:
1️⃣ Fruit Taste Test: Compare different apples with eyes closed!
2️⃣ Mystery Touch Bag: Feel and describe mystery items.
3️⃣ Listening Walk: Focus on sounds during a stroll.
Thank you, Ms. Tabitha and Ms. Erica, for making learning so creative! 🌈 How do you make learning fun at home? Share below!

Mrs. Alexis' class had a great time with math today! She said:
“🍩✂️ Fractions but make it FUN… my silly little geese practiced halves + fourths the only way that makes sense: with donuts! 🪿➗”
What an awesome way to teach in a tasty way!

MSE is excited about our Homecoming game at MCHS this week!!
We want to give a huge shout-out to Ms. Chrissy and Mrs. Jenna's PreK class for all their hard work on prewriting skills! 👏 These students are doing so much more than just scribbling—they're building the foundation for a lifetime of learning.
Did you know that prewriting skills are essential for PreK students? 🖍️ They help build fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive understanding, setting the stage for legible handwriting and increased confidence!
You can support your child at home with fun activities like:
Fine Motor Play: Playdough, puzzles, and stringing beads for dexterity.
Mark-Making: Scribbling with chunky crayons or tracing shapes in sand.
Daily Skills: Using child-safe scissors or buttoning clothes helps too!
How do you encourage your little ones to write? Share your tips below! 😊
Hi parents! Please take 5 minutes to update your family's information online. This needs to be completed each year so that we have the most current contact and health details for your child. Thanks for your help! https://sis-psvue2.tnk12.gov/MCS/PXP2_Login_Parent.aspx?regenerateSessionId=true Let's make this the best school year yet!
Meigs South Teachers are back to school and hard at work! We can't wait to see our families tomorrow night for Meet the Teacher and Kindergarten Round Up.
