Bugs & Frogs

Well this is it, our last classroom newsletter for the school year!  It has really gone by fast but I’ve truly enjoyed everyday I was able to spend with your child.  I want to thank everyone for all the extra work they did at home.  You should be very proud of your child and all that they have accomplished this year!

We had a short week with no school on Monday.  On Tuesday we learned about Bugs & Frogs to go along with our theme for this week.  On Wednesday & Thursday we took a field trip to the school forest where we went on a bug hunt and nature hike.  The children all got to help look for and capture bugs, which we then examined up close.  Be sure to ask your child all about our trip!

During our final week of school we will work to get our room cleaned up and be sure that everything is sent home.  We will celebrate our year together by joining the MAES pre-k classes for an “End of the Year Picnic” in the Medford City Park.  All of the children will join together for a walk to the park where we will enjoy a picnic lunch (provided by our kitchen) and time to play and say goodbye to each other!

 Reminders & Updates:                                

       *Field Trip: I will be taking the children to the Medford City Park

on June 3^rd & 4^th.  Please dress your child in comfortable shoes and        clothing.

*Last Day of Class: June 3^rd OR 4^th.  Your child should bring their backpacks on the last day of school as well.

*Fair Projects: Each child will have a project in the Taylor County Fair so be sure to stop in and check it out this summer!

Caterpillars & Butterflies

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 caterpillar and 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 Wednesday & Thursday we will take a hike in the school 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 this week as well.
