Preschool 3 with Ms. Theresa & Ms. Brittany Pre-K by Ms. Kim, Ms. Kayla, & Ms. Tiffany Hello Pre-K Families, We am very excited to start our last full month of school. The mild weather is finally allowing us to have long outside recesses. The children have been picking wild flowers and going on “bug hunts”. They come up with amazing ideas every-day! Our main theme for May is “Mother Nature.” The weekly themes will be Mother’s Day, Baby Ani-mals, Zoo Animals, Water Safety, and Memorial Day. We have finished the alpha-bet and will start reviewing sight words this month. We will also be reviewing the numbers 1-20. Our science focus will be on life cycles and changes we see in the Spring. We will also make crafts about ani-mals and flowers. Conference times will be available on May 23rd. A few reminders: -Please apply sunscreen to your child before you drop them off at school. Full day children will have it reap-plied in the afternoon. -Please continue to keep your child’s personal toys at home. Books and a stuffed animal for naptime are al-lowed. -Please make sure your child brings a labelled wa-ter bottle! As it gets warmer and allergies get worse, water is very im-portant for them. -Please continue to work with your child at home on what they are learning at school. It can make such a differ-ence!
