Happy Memorial Day!

By -
We hope everyone had a nice and restful long weekend! Summer is right around the corner for sure!

The preschoolers were enjoying the nice weather last week with the water table and bikes.



We added some bubbles and did a lot of pouring and dumping down the special shoot in the table. We started sailing small boats down to see if they would make it to the "ocean" below. We also did a great job taking turns and sharing the materials in the water table!







We sure do love this time of year!:)





Also, last Wednesday the "next-year kindergartners" spent some time with Mrs. Nicole on the "itsy-bitsy spider." They did a great job listening to directions as well as cutting and gluing the book together. Be sure to be on the look out for all their hard work in their cubbies!



*Important Reminders*

* Please apply sun screen to your preschooler before coming to school. We are spending a lot of time outside and we want to make sure that everyone is protected! Sun hats and sunglasses are welcomed as well. (Also please remember water bottles!)

* No School on Monday for Memorial Day.

*End of the year Celebration is Thursday, June 14th. Sign-up sheets and more information will be out this week.

*Last day of school is Monday, June 18th.

Southworth Park We've taken advantage of the beautiful weather that we've had over the past couple of Tuesdays and have hiked to Southworth Park for fun and adventures.  Ms. Beth, our outdoor educator, has built a fire with the kids, and we've made popcorn and hot chocolate. The kids have enjoyed digging in the dirt, finding worms, building fairy houses, playing tag and so much more.  It's always enjoyable to read books and eat snack up there too. A few of the second graders even joined us one day.
