Another wonderful week at Wildwood School.
We are sure enjoying this beautiful weather and spending a lot of time outside.
Thank you to our Parent Council for the Wildwood School Hoodies!
Also another Thank You to the Parent Council for Pizza Hot Lunch on Tuesday!
We are very grateful!
What we got up to:
Working on our name still, as we would really like to master this for Kindergarten.
We did a Shapes scavenger hunt outside at our playground.
We did a nature scavenger hunt as well, using tools for motor skills.
We had a fun time at the Purple Park with our K/1 friends for Gym.
We are focusing a little more on manners, following instructions, social skills and problem solving within our peers. This will also help us come to Kindergarten when we have more friends in our class.
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! :)
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.
