5/25 Classroom Update

This week, we had lots of fun camping in our classroom! We went on many bear hunts, fished in our water table, and enjoyed camping out in a tent. We learned about different tools people use while camping, important camping safety rules, and fun activities to do while camping. Here are some picture highlights from the week:

Singing "Johnny Plays with One Hammer" with Ms. Janet!

Important Dates/Reminders:

No School Monday 5/28: There is no school Monday 5/28 in observance of Memorial Day. See you on Tuesday!

Spring Field Trip: We will be visiting Frederick Meijer Gardens on Thursday, June 7th for a Singing with the Sculptures Tram ride! Students will have the opportunity to participate in rhythms, sounds, rhymes, and raps as they roll along learning about the sculptures through fun and familiar songs! After the tram ride, we will have time to explore the Children's Garden at Meijer Gardens. I posted a sign-up sheet for drivers in the hallway or you can email me with the number of children you can drive if you'd like to join in on the fun! The field trip costs $6 per student (will be charged to their WECC preschool account) and $4 per adult (please give $4 cash or a check made out to WECC prior to the field trip to Ms. Katie).

Field Trip Drivers: Due to state licensing requirements, we are required to have specific paperwork on file for field trip drivers that are driving other children. I sent home a note in your child's folder this week if the office needs updated paperwork from you. Please take note of what is missing and visit the WECC office to update your paperwork prior to the field trip on Thursday June 7th. Thank you!

Water Day: On Monday June 11th, we will have a water day here at Woodcliff! We will spend the afternoon outside on the field playing lots of fun water games! Please send your child to school in their swimsuit with sunscreen already applied. They will also need a towel and shoes that can get wet. Hats and sunglasses are optional! In the event of rain, we will participate in fun activities instead. If your child stays after class for Child Care, please pack a set of dry clothes. 

Preschool Picnic for Families: Please join our class for a year end picnic to reminisce, create summer plans and say goodbye to friends on Wednesday, June 13th from 12:30-1:15. Bring a picnic lunch, and we will provide drinks and cake! 

Last Day of PM Preschool: The last day of PM preschool will be Wednesday, June 13th. This differs from the EGRPS last day of school due to childcare being open for ages Preschool-5 in the afternoon on Thursday, June 14th. 

Have a great weekend!
