Week of April 8, 2019

A great big welcome to Adriana, our new student who joined our class this week!  I am so incredibly proud of all our PreK-3 students.  They have all welcomed Adriana with open arms and have been so kind and considerate with helping her adjust to all of our classroom routines.  It is such a testament to the incredible parents we have in our classroom.  Kudos to you all for raising such an amazing group of children!  I am sure that Adriana and her family will begin to feel right at home in no time at all!

We had lots of fun in PreK-3 learning about the letter Tt this week.  The children loved learning true facts about Tigers, Trains and Trees!  We read "real" and "make-believe" books about each. We really loved learning the old nursery rhyme, "Down by the Station," and pretending to be a real train choo-choo-ing around our classroom.  We also made some spectacular AB pattern trains using our cubes.

We are really looking forward to our Easter Hat Parade and Egg Hunt this Friday!  I can't wait to see everyone's special hats!!  Let's keep our fingers crossed for good weather!!!

We are in the process of planning our PreK-3 Graduation in June.  Once I have a confirmed date and time I will let you know as soon as possible so you can plan accordingly.
