Friday, April 23rd


We had another beautiful week of spring weather! We had the chance to be outside a few days this week and enjoyed new centers in the classroom. We reviewed patterning with links in the math center and on worksheets. We continued practice with coloring, cutting, and gluing during our morning work. We welcomed a new friend, Daniel, to our class this week.

The class had a chance to see the Mr. and Mrs. Fish Assembly on Tuesday of this week. They learned about ocean animals in anticipation of our upcoming school-wide MARE theme. The children have a lot of fun activities to do related to ocean animals coming up in the month of May. MARE kick-off is May 5th.

Thank you to everyone for your help with the Tricky Tray basket! It was a great success!

Monday is picture day. All students will have their picture taken. They will send you home the pictures to review. You can then decide if you want to keep them and purchase them or send them back. I received some forms back already, and you can still send them Monday if you wish.

Have a wonderful weekend!

This week, we all adjusted coming back from a nice long spring break! Hope everyone had a great week off! We welcomed a new student, Marco, to our class.

Ms. Michelle did an obstacle course group on Wednesday of this week. The children really do a great job following directions, taking turns, and completing the gross motor tasks in the activity. With a growing class size, waiting for a turn is getting harder, but we are doing our best!

We did some coloring, cutting, and gluing this week at our morning table time. Some children have become independent in these skills and enjoy doing this work on their own. For others, scissor skills are new, and we are working to have them hold the scissors correctly (thumb up!) and snip paper with help. We spent some time on the playground this week with the nicer weather, too.

Kindergarten Round-Up was this week and I am excited for the students who are moving on to Kindergarten next year. I am so proud of all they have done in Preschool, and know that great things are ahead!

Have a wonderful weekend!
