Last week it was a zoo in prekindergarten! We had fun Thursday going on a lion hunt. It was all screams and giggles when we found the lions!

Games Day!
We enjoyed playing different games on Wednesday. Games are such a fun way to develop sharing, turn taking, speech, language, and fine motor skills.
Safari Hunt
We kicked off our zoo week by going on a safari hunt around the school. Our little zoo keepers did an amazing job finding all of the missing animals.

Zoo Field Trip
Our zoo field trip is coming up this Thursday, May 17th. Please ensure you have signed the permission slip through your PowerSchool account.
Since PK students are too young to ride the bus, each family is responsible for transporting their child to and from the field trip. We will meet at the entrance gate to the zoo.
Parents are welcome to join us for the tour, however they will be required to pay their own entrance fee. Parents are also welcome to drop off their children with us at the main entrance of the zoo, and then pick them up again when the field trip is completed.
Our guided tour only allows for a specific amount of participants, therefore if siblings are coming to the Zoo, they will be unable to join the tour. Parents must tour the Zoo on their own if they bring their other children.

Staffing Update
Our afternoon class has been missing Mrs. Watt. However, we have been very fortunate to have Mrs. Crystal Kelly filling in for her. Mrs. Kelly will be with our afternoon class until further notice.
You will also be seeing Mrs. Becky Dupont in our classroom a couple of days per week. Mrs. Dupont is joining our PK team part time for the remainder of the school year to free up some time for Miss Knull and Mrs. Porter to run year end meetings.
Welcome Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Dupont!
