Preschool News: On Wednesday, May 15th, the preschool classes headed to Tranquility Farms for a fun filled, educational day! The children had the opportunity to learn about plants and plant their own to take home. A hayride tour around the farm with a guide teaching about special features of the farm and other farm facts was enjoyed by all. Part of the trip to the farm included a tour of a greenhouse along with a scavenger hunt. Tranquility Farms had a large playground area which the children greatly enjoyed. Another special feature of the farm is delicious ice
cream, baked goods, soups, prepared foods and vegetables along with the beautiful plants .The children shared that they loved their trip to Tranquility Farms!
May is a very busy month for the preschoolers. Preschool graduation was May 22nd. The children proudly marched to receive their preschool diplomas as they headed to the stage to perform some of their favorite songs that they learned in preschool. The children displayed their knowledge of sign language during their musical performance. Immediately following the graduation ceremony, the children, along with their families, enjoyed an ice cream social to celebrate their achievements.

We have had a fun and busy month in kindergarten! The children had a great time at our “Down on the Farm” field trip. We have been reflecting on our year together and talking about our favorite memories. It is hard to believe that we are reading and writing. We have grown so much since September!
