4/20 Classroom Update

This week, we became Planet Heroes and experts in how to take care of planet Earth. We learned about the three R's: reduce, reuse, and recycle and how we can do these things in our everyday life to help preserve planet Earth! Here are some picture highlights from the week:

Learning about recycling and how to sort recyclables! 

 Playing a beginning sound match file folder game!

Making new crayons out of our old broken crayons!

 Practicing fine motor skills while painting the Earth!

Planet Earth is in our hands!

Next week, we will be learning about plants and what living things need. We will also be planting radishes and watching them grow!

Important Dates/Reminders:

Hearing/Vision Screenings: Hearing and vision screenings will take place this Monday 4/23 and Tuesday 4/24.

EGRPS Kindergarten Information Meeting: There will be two kindergarten information meetings held at Breton Downs on Wednesday May 9th at 9 am and 7 pm.

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).

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!
