Hello Families,
I hope I can finally say “Happy Spring”. We had a great
month of April and did our spring unit in the midst of what seemed to be more
snow than we had all winter. Even though we didn’t get to plant any seeds
outside yet or do any sort of bug studies, we learned a lot about weather and
what it means to live next to Lake Superior.
Our field trip to the Aquarium was a success. The children
loved being able to be hands-on with so many fresh-water creatures and everyone
learned a lot about animals and their many habitats. We also had a wonderful
time celebrating Earth Day. We focused on recycling, preserving our earth, and
taking good care of nature. We even went on a nature walk to see how many
natural resources we could find outside, as well as pick up things that didn’t
belong in nature. We ended our month with a focus on ourselves as preschoolers
and how much we’ve grown since the fall.
I can’t believe it’s May already- because that means it is
the end of our preschool school year. We’ll kick off the month with an awesome
unit on Camping. The children will learn all about the wilderness and take a
look at what it would take to solely rely on Mother Nature. We are also
planning a unit on Transportation where the students will explore the wonderful
world of wheels and how people use them. We end our month with a week dedicated
to preschool pride where we will have fun participating in a wacky week.
Please remember that along with our late spring comes lots
of mud. We take the preschoolers outside two times daily which means we have an
extra tendency to get our clothes dirty. Please remember to send extra clothes
to school with your child, including pants and socks. We will continue to wear
snow pants for as long as our playground stays wet and the temperatures stay
cool.
Preschool graduation will be Thursday, May 23rd
from 5:00-6:30pm. The ceremony will take place at Old Main (weather
permitting), and we will be having a school-wide picnic potluck. There will be
a sign-up on our sign-in table for you to communicate what dish you are able to
bring, so be on the look-out!
I just want to thank you all again for the support you
provide for your children and their school-lives. It is truly a blessing.
Warmest regards,
Miss Jakki
