Notes from the Preschool Room

It’s hard to believe that our school year will soon be coming to a close. We will be saying goodbye to some of our friends for the summer, but look forward to seeing them again in the Pre-K room in the fall!

We will begin the month of May learning about dinosaurs. We will also be learning about different forms of transportation. The third week of May we will spend learning about the life cycle of butterflies. We are hoping to get caterpillars, and then watch as they grow into chrysalis’s, and then finally turn into butterflies. This will surely be an exciting experience for the children, so be sure to ask your child about our classroom butterflies. We will conclude the month of May with a unit on farm animals and a unit on dinosaurs. These units are sure to be a hit with the children!

We are in the process of planning our spring field trip. Please stay tuned for more information regarding where and when we will be going. Lastly, please remember to apply sunscreen to your child’s skin each morning. We will be reapplying each afternoon before they return outside.

Thank you!
Mrs. O.
