Preschool Graduation

So today was our big day, the day we say goodbye and goodluck to all. I will sure miss all my SuperStars. I can't believe most of you will be going to Kindergarten. I just want to say everyone did wonderful in our program I am proud to call you my students. I hope to hear from each one of you in the future. Just remember you are special and I will miss being your teacher. Congratulations to all of you. Thanks for a wonderful year full of memories! Love always and forever Miss Kristi

Preschool Graduation Rehersal

I can't believe the end of the year is just so near. Today we dressed the kids up in their gowns and practiced the graduation program. I do have to say I am a little nervous about how they are going to do. But we will just have to see on Wednesday. Today I sent home each of the childrens program parts. They are all very short and should be easy for them to remember. Please practice these parts with them and remind them how they must talk loudly so everyone can hear them. I also wanted to remind you if you wanted to bring a treat to share great if not then no biggie! And each child must bring 12 stickers to sign their yearbook with. Thank you for all your cooperation I am looking forward to a great program to end a GREAT Year!

We also celebrated Emma's summertime birthday today and she brought us all The most delicious cupcakes ever. I should have taken a photo they were adorable. Ella you are adorable and I have just loved having you in my class.

Letter Z

So today we learned about Zippy Zebra and how when a Zebra runs they run in a zig zag and they say ZEEE! It was fun to watch all the kids run around the room like a herd of zebras making that sound. We also celebrated Emele's summertime birthday today. Emele you are such a cute little girl with so much spunk. I have loved watching your cute little personality everyday you have come to class. I hope you had a great preschool birthday!

Mothers

Today we decided to talk about our mothers instead of Rock Gardens. So we made a little mothers day surprise and then we learned about the letter Yy. The letter Yy says so many sounds but we are just focusing on the Y (yellow)sound. Remember to check out your kids ABC books to see what they have been learning in class. Treg was our star student and even though he doesn't make it to class very often he sure loves his classmates when he does come. Treg you are a delight and I will miss you when you are in Kindergarten next year.

Lemon Pie

Yes, I try to do a cooking lesson at the end of each month and this month we learned alittle about the flavor of lemons and cooking with them. So we naturally made lemon pie. However, I decided to have each child make their own mini pie and it was a complete success. Sage was our star student and she brought some delicious creamies to share with the class. She also brought some books for show and tell and she didn't just show them she read them to the class. I am so amazed at this little girls reading abilities. Thanks super stars for such a wonderful day.

Lemons

We learned that lemons grow on lemon trees that are about 15 ft. Tall. In ideal conditions you can harvest lemons all year round. The lemons are cut from the tree when they are green and then put in a dark cool room and they ripen to the brilliant yellow that they are. So much fun stuff to learn about lemons. Today we celebrated Malyssa's birthday since her birthday is in May. Malyssa you are such a delight to have in class. You are so responsible and quick to learn and listen. I know you will do wonderful in Kindergarten good luck.

Sea Stars

A sea star use to be called a starfish. But since it is not actually a fish they have renamed it to the sea star... I know confusing, but sea stars usually have 5 arms but can sometimes have more even up to 40 arms. On the bottom of their arms are suction cups that help them move and taste things. They have eyes on the end of each arm (which I never knew) but they can only see light and dark with those eyes. Ella was our star student today and since we were learning about the letter Uu she brought an umbrella and a unicorn so here is a photo of her and her sea star. However, she didn't seem to excited to show them to the class. We love you Ella and adore your cute personality.
