May Flowers

 Dear Preschool Families,

 The month of May will focus on the Ocean, and the creatures that live in and near the ocean. Some of our lessons have included: exploring shells and sea stars, fishing for letters, creating ocean books, sorting animals by habitat, and counting fish. During our story time and research about the ocean the children have enjoyed sharing their beach stories from family trips.

     Last week, the children finished up their color butterflies to take home. This week we continue to review the life cycle of a butterfly. This work includes stamping out the sequence of the life cycle.

 The children continue to make geometric shapes with marshmallows and toothpicks (triangles, squares, and pentagons).  

     Our letter of the week was the letter "Y." This week we will focus on the letter "Q." This will be our last letter of the week! A popular work right now is stamping the alphabet.

Both the morning and afternoon class got to go on a little field trip last week to our school library. During our tour they learned about the different kinds of books in the library (fiction and non-fiction).Then we stayed for story time about "Percival The Plain Little Caterpillar."
