June 8-12

THIS WEEK

This past week we have been continuing to learn about the ocean and underwater creatures. We made an octupus craft, sang ocean songs, drew pictures of the sea, and talked about the kinds of creatures that live under the water.

We worked on the letter I and preschool friends showed their "I" items. This week we will be bringing in "J" items for show and tell. Thanks to everyone who brought in things to show!

Although it was a rainy week we also got outside for some time to run around and draw with chalk when we could. We will continue to try and get some exercise every day whether we are inside or out! Just a reminder, as the weather gets hotter please leave a swimsuit, water shows, towel, and change of clothes at school because when it gets hot enough we will be using sprinklers and water play outside.

Friday was Cate's last day for a month but we will see her after her vacation :)

Miss Kalynn is still away but we can not wait to have her back on Thursday!

NEXT WEEK

We will be working on Letter J.

Miss Kalynn comes back!

We will be making Fathers day gifts and continuing to learn about the ocean.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!

June 1-5

We are learning about the Ocean this month.

THIS WEEK

We are learning about different sea shells. We had a bucket of shells in the classroom with a magnifiying glass. The kids were able to feel the different textures of the shells, compare the sizes, tell if the shell was a snail shell or a clam shell, and see the different colors. We used clay to make shell imprints, made shell rubbings and traced shells, and we painted jumbo pasta shells to create our own sea shell.

We worked on the letter H this week! I would like to THANK:
Ethan for bringing in his H blocks, a hover craft, and Harold.
Ben for bringing in a Helicopter.
Kevin for bringing in a Helicopter.
Keira for bringing in her Horse.
Alexander for bringing in his letter H and a Hat.
Yan for bringing in a Helicopter.

Good Afternoon Parents,
The summer season is approaching. With this comes the hot weather. This summer the Clark Preschool will have water play, which includes water tables and sprinklers. We would like you to send your child with an extra pair of clothes, a swimsuit, and a towel that can stay at the school for the week. Also, not required but preferred is a pair of water shoes or shoes that can get wet while the children are playing in the sprinklers.
Have a great day
Thank you
Kalynn and Sarah
