Wildwood JK - April 21 & 23 Communication:

Another wonderful week at Wildwood School.

Thank you to Mrs. Swinkles for subbing on Tuesday!

What we got up to:

Working on our name still, as we would really like to master this for Kindergarten.
We worked on matching upper-case letters to lower-case letters.
Lots of fine motor activities.

We even got to PAINT Birdhouses outside in the beautiful sun! We are sure loving this nice weather!

We joined our K/1 Friends for Gym outside!

Our littles have mastered putting their belongings away and getting ready for the class in the morning, all on their own! They have also mastered packing up and getting ready to go home at the end of the day! :)

We are focusing a little more on manners, following instructions, social skills and problem solving within our peers. This will also help us come Kindergarten when we have more friends in our class.

Info:

• Please Note: With warmer weather and spending more time outside, please send to school appropriate weather wear. Example: Sun Screen, Sun Hat and Water Bottles! Also having an extra change of clothes might be ideal, in case they get wet or muddy.

Thank you,

Ms. Y - JK Program Coordinator.

Do you know anyone that has attended Wildwood School since 1989? If so their picture is likely on our walls today. Last year we re-hung all of the old school pictures throughout our building. Next time you are in stop by the office and then go for a look!

Below you can find the volunteer package for Wildwood School. You can also drop by the school for a paper package and we can help with any questions you might have.
