STAR OF THE WEEK--RUSSELL

Today we learned more about our friend, Russell. Thanks for sharing your photos and telling us about your favorite things, Russell!

"WACKY WEDNESDAY"

Dear Pre-K Parents--

This Wednesday (February 25th) will be designated as "Wacky Wednesday" since we are studying the letter sound "W". If your child would like to, he/she can wear something "wacky" to school. For example, two different-colored socks, different shoes, wearing a shirt backwards, a striped shirt with plaid pants, etc. Obviously, dress code does not need to be followed on this day!

P.S. CHILDREN SHOULD STILL BRING ITEMS TO SHARE FOR SOUND BOX ON WACKY WEDNESDAY.

IS THERE LIFE IN OUTER SPACE?

Today we did a graph to determine how many friends believe there is life in Outer Space.

Next, we read a story by Franklin M. Branley called, "Is There Life In Outer Space?" Ask your child to tell you the answer!
After reading the story, each child had the chance to draw what he/she thinks an alien/space creature might look like. Once completed, we will display the finished drawings in our classroom.

"THE BEAR CASE"

Thank you for attending our Pre-K performance of "The Bear Case" today. Below are some photos of our Pre-K actors and actresses. Bravo!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HANNAH!

Today we helped Hannah celebrate her 5th birthday. Hannah's dad shared the story , "The Cow Who Clucked." We then enjoyed a large chocolate chip birthday cookie for snack. Happy Birthday, Hannah!
