It's a Good Day in Pre-K

It is June! In a few short weeks your child will be graduating from Pre-K. This is a huge accomplishment for your child! This means they are only three months away from starting kindergarten. Be proud and let them know it. They have persevered, established friendships, and worked hard to learn new skills that will prepare them for kindergarten. I'd like to take this time to thank the teachers and teaching assistants who were integral in your child's successes this year. Lastly, thank you! We all appreciate your support with our Pre-K community and your children. Have a great summer!

In May we celebrated our mother's, in one way or another, in all of our Pre-K sites. This is a time dedicated to truly show our appreciation for all the contributions our mothers have made in our lives. I know our Pre-schoolers love their mommas! Thank you for all that you do!

Students in our Pre-K class at Donald P. Sutherland decided to take advantage of the great weather and have a "beach day."

Students at our Catskill Pre-K had a special person join them for Special Person Day! They each painted a picture, had some snacks, some laughs, and most importantly spent time with their special person!

Cairo started their "ABC Countdown to Summer". They had "B" the other day and spent extra time outside with bubble machines. Very fun, and even the custodian "Mr. Chris" joined in! Enclosed are some photos.

Student's in Mrs. Lavoo's classroom at Berlin learned about the life cycle of a frog; from eggs, to tadpoles, to froglets, then frogs! They then created their own frogs with a catchy poem!

I'm a little tadpole,

swimming in a pond.

Waiting to be a frog

just like my mom.

First, I'll grow back legs,

and then I'll get my front.

Last my tail will fall off,

and then I'm ready to jump!

Mrs. Johnson had some special visitor's from the Harmony Project come in and teach our Pre-K students how to make their own playdoh! A little shampoo, a little conditioner, some corn starch and voila! The best smelling Play-Doh that is also silky smooth!

Attached I have included Ready, Set, Girl Scouts Program available to Girls PK-3rd grade who are interested in becoming a Registered Girl Scout! This Summer girls can enjoy monthly activity packets to complete at home or with friends and join us at one of our Camp locations for our annual Field Day in August!

They hope to provide girls with the opportunity to make new friends, explore their interests, engage with their community, develop new skills, and make a difference in this world.
