Term 2 Week `14

Hello Pre-K! We had a busy week as usual.

Exploring rhythm with our instruments, taking turns leading.

We had an earthquake drill. Pre-K did great!

We worked together to build a neighborhood, which we kind of agreed was a city. On Monday we will set up the buildings in the playroom and explore our lines of inquiry through dramatic play.

The Enishi park was blocked on Thursday, so we went to the park a little north of the school with Kindergarten. This park has a Fuji slide and a spinning globe. Pre-K really loved this park, so we are going to try to go once or twice a week for the rest of the year.

Our theme for Science Day was flight. We watched a bottle rocket demonstration, then had an airplane throwing contest. Many of the children wanted another chance to make an airplane at home and practice their throwing techniques, so we will do it again next week. Please send an airplane or two in on Monday.

We sent their shoes home today. Please wash them and check their size. If your child did not have a shoe bag, please send a cloth shoe bag next week. We will likely be sending the shoes home more often during the winter to help keep our classroom healthier.

Have a great weekend and see you Monday!

Ms. Darby and Ms. Maki
