May Memories

 Dear Preschool Families,

The month of May has been very busy for the preschoolers as the school year commences. The children have completed fun memory pages for their portfolio's and a self-portrait. They have put a lot of effort into these self-portraits and they look fantastic. During our story time and research about seahorse's, hermit crabs, and fish the children have enjoyed many new works in the classroom. Some of our lessons/activities have included: tying practice for the seahorse, cutting fish skeletons out of construction paper, and sorting, graphing, and counting Goldfish crackers. After reading the "Rainbow Fish" the children completed their very own rainbow fish with paper plates and a small piece of foil. We have been reviewing letter naming and letter sounds. The children have been making letters with playdoh and tracing letters in shaving cream.

Last week, the children continued working on their picture dictionaries. These books will be in their portfolio to complete over the summer if they choose. 

The morning class had the opportunity last week to visit with the Norwood Police department here at school. The afternoon class will be going to Williams Elementary Talent Show in the auditorium on Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. This event is open to all. 

 

Note from the Nurse:

The Norwood Health Department has graciously offered to give out 15 booster seats to preschool students that are in need. Children need to be properly restrained in booster seat until 8 years old. The Norwood Health Department is going to be at Williams Elementary on Wednesday May 28th at 11:10 A.M. This is a first come first serve basis. They will also be on hand to demonstrate a proper installation. For questions contact Kathy Strasser:  Strasser.K@norwoodschools.org  513-924-2882

Special Note of Thank You:

As the children look forward to their summer break, Miss Katie, Miss Karen and I would like to say thank you to all of the children and the families for a great Preschool year!  I personally enjoyed my time here at Williams Elementary. I loved getting to know all of the children, teaching them everyday and watching them grow.  I have so many good memories and feel blessed I had this great opportunity to share in their lives. Thank you and best wishes to a prosperous future. 

Have a wonderful Summer,
Miss H.
