5/11 Classroom Update

Happy early Mother's Day! This week, we spent the week learning about family and reflecting on why our moms are so special! This week, we worked on a variety of skills from rhyming, to identifying a missing number, to distinguishing between letters, numbers and words. We also continued to observe our caterpillars who are now busy changing inside of their chrysalis! Next week, we will learn all about life on farms!

Observing our chrysalides!

Sorting letters versus words!

Finding the missing numbers!

Our Moms are the best!

Making special Mother's Day presents!

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! 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).

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 from 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!
