Week Of 5-23-11

This week our theme was ‘Butterflies & Caterpillars’.  The children made a patterned caterpillar, created a butterfly book, completed a butterfly’s life cycle and painted a butterfly.  We also went to visit the Kindergarten classrooms in preparation for next year.

Next week our theme will be ‘Bugs & Frogs’.  (Remember there is no school on Monday due to Memorial Day).  On Tuesday we will take a hike in the SES forest and go on a bug hunt (weather permitting) so please dress your child for a hike in the woods.  The children will be making a frog, a paint blot bug and playing a bug # matching game.  On Wednesday & Thursday we will have an ‘End of the Year’ celebration for all of the pre-k students at SES & MAES.  We will all meet at MAES and walk to the Medford City Park where the children will be able to play and enjoy a picnic lunch!  (Our cooks will pack the lunches at school).
