Dear PreK Families,

We had a wonderful visit with Miss Hannah from VINS earlier this month. We had perfect weather and all of the students were so engaged in the activities. Miss Hannah gave us a puppet show, we looked at photos of real insects, we sang an insect song, and we searched outside in the back garden for real insects. Thank you for being flexible with our schedule so that all students could participate in the special day.

The students have been so interested in learning about the lifecycle of the Painted Lady Butterfly. It took our caterpillars 25 days to change from eggs, to caterpillars, to cocoons, and finally butterflies. We will be releasing them back to nature this week. During the study, we read many books about butterflies, made several projects, kept a log on the lifecycle process, and did many observations.

This week, our class is hosting an Art Show on Thursday May 30th. The morning class will come from 8:15 to 8:45 and the afternoon class will come from 12:15 to 12:45. Please stop by to see the artwork, we have made some projects using, paint, clay, and collage.

During the last week of school, students who will be transitioning to K, will do a classroom visit to the K classrooms to meet teachers and see what the room looks like. All students moving into K will go on the visit even if they are going to another building next year.

On June 6th, the whole school has a Field Day with indoor and outdoor games. Each class/team wears a different color. The PreK classes wears stripes. We will participate in 2 to 3 special activities that day. Please apply sunscreen to your child before school, as we will be outside for longer than our usual recess time.
