I hope that everyone got out to enjoy the weather over the weekend! We had such a busy week last week! We learned about ladybugs. Did you know that ladybugs are not just red with black dots?! We practiced counting with ladybug dots, got creative with our paper plates and turned them into ladybugs and learned some pretty interesting facts about our pretty little lady bugs. This week our a.m. class participated in our CORRECT assembly and everyone enjoyed the Duck Race!!! Our PM class enjoyed meeting their future kindergarten teachers at Kindergraten roundup! I can't believe it's that time of year already!! This coming week, we will learn about insects and how they differ from spiders. Enjoy your week!

What an exciting week this has been for all of us. We love a week filled with science and experiments. Our first experiment was to track the water level of a cup filled with water that sits in the sun. As we predicted, the water has begun to evaporate and the water level is getting lower. We enjoyed our visit with Mrs. Paoloa's 3rd grade class. They invited us to watch their skit on the water cycle. It was awesome!!! This week we focused on seeds, plants and their parts. To support this we created sunflower craft and labeled plant parts. This leads us to our next experiment. We are waiting to see if our predictions are true about the stem. We placed blue dye into water and placed our white carnations into it. We can't wait to see what we will find Monday morning. Some of the kids think that the flowers will turn brown. Others believe that the flowers will stay white and others believe the flowers will turn blue. HHHMMMMMMM? Also this week, our sunflower seeds that we planted last week have begun to sprout!! Oh boy are the kids excited!!!! Tomorrow is the Autism 5k run/walk... rain or shine!!! I hope to see some familiar faces!! Enjoy the weekend!

April Showers Bring May Flowers! Well, after the other night, my flowers have plenty of water for a few days! It is nice to see new life sprouting when walking around outside. This week was so beautiful and we loved playing outside on the playground. We made sure to look around and notice the grass growing in, flowing begining to pop out and bees buzzing around. Of course, the se are all signs that Spring truly has Sprung. This week, we reviewed the letter U, for Unique Umbrellas. We had fun crafting our umbrellas, rain drops and flowers. The children were all so excited about planting sunflower seeds. Each child will get a day to water the seeds and hopefully in a week or so, we will be able to see seedlings.

April 25th, will be Kindergarten Roundup. This is when your children will meet the Kindergarten teachers at 12:00 pm. Once the visit is over, they will return to the preschool day and continue with their school day. I will be sending more information about this next week.

This weekend is the Tricky Tray! I hope to see some familiar faces there! Also, this month is Autism Awareness month. Come and join us for an fun day on April 20th, at Meadow Breeze Park, for our Annual 5K Run/Walk Fundraiser. If you would like more information, please check out our school website. Enjoy your weekend!
