Upcoming Spirit Day on Friday, May 24!
It is so hard to believe that we are in our last unit for our Preschool year. We are learning about growing and changing and we are celebrating that the end of one thing often means the beginning of something new. The end of our Preschool year transitions into the beginning of our Kindergarten year. We have our last parent event on May 2nd. Families are invited into our Preschool rooms for an evening playtime with our Preschoolers leading the tour for their families. Big brothers and sisters and little brothers and sisters will finally have the opportunity to play with their siblings in our fun classrooms. We are waiting for the caterpillars in our rooms to emerge as butterflies and then we will release them outside. We will also be watching grass and bean seeds grow and change and we will notice the changes in the world outside. The theater was a very successful and well used dramatic play area and our flower shop has also been very popular. We are excited to celebrate our amazing Preschoolers as they prepare to move on to Kindergarten.
