4/13 Classroom Update

This week, we were finally able to enjoy some spring weather as we learned about springtime! Yesterday, we were able to get outside for some parachute fun. We acted out how a seed grows through different parachute motions! We also added lots of different cleaning tools in our dramatic play center this week, and this center quickly became a class favorite. We also planted a beginning sound garden, matched uppercase and lowercase letter puzzles, and became sight word detectives!

Important Dates/Reminders:

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! I will be posting a sign-up sheet for drivers in the hallway this coming week or you can email me with the number of children you can drive if you'd like to join in on the fun!

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!
