ECS Pre-K Classroom News Morning Class

A Peek at the Week
This week at school we talked about…Mothers! We worked very hard on some special projects, and the children hope you enjoy them! On Friday we went to a special show sponsored by the PTO…see the enclosed note for more information. Centers this week included: Look What I Can Do, Playdough, dollhouse, kitchen with babies, and Journals. We continue to watch the tadpoles grow bigger…still no sign of their tails...maybe next week??

Happy Birthday to Mark Ireton!

Happy Mother’s Day! Enjoy the day, and…
Have a great weekend…enjoy the weather!

PT Group
This week in PT group the children used the parachute. Shaking it up and down quickly and slowly was lots of fun. They also sang “Ring Around the Rosie” and made a big bubble in the middle. The children had a lot of fun, while doing a good job following directions and staying in control of themselves! Good work everyone!

Looking Ahead
Insects, Community Helpers, and Tools/Machines will be the topics in May. In June we’ll be talking about summer and Father’s Day. Parents are always welcome to volunteer in the classroom. If you have a special project you would like to share with the class related to one of these topics, you are always welcome to come in!

Staff Appreciation Week!
I would like to take this opportunity to say a BIG thanks to Mrs. Camosci and Mrs. Dumas for all of their hard work in the classroom. As paraprofessionals, they sometimes get overlooked in the big picture. I know for certain that this Pre-K program would not be the success it is without their dedication! They go above and beyond every day, staying late, doing errands on their own time, and keeping my head on straight. Thanks a bunch Mrs. Dumas and Mrs. Camosci from Mrs. Maruschock!

Thanks..
Thanks to Mrs. Hall-Babbitt for reading the Welcome to my Garden Big Book! We look forward to upcoming readers!
