PRE-K 4 NEWS!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Dear Parents,
We are almost there! Justa few more days and the school year is over. I have started to miss the children already. This is one of the best groups I have ever had. They have grown and learned a lot. There’s no doubt they are ready for the next step, Kindergarten.
Thanks for all your support for the Walk-a-Thon, the children enjoyed being competitive with their friends and other students very much.
Also we want to thank to Amy Canche, Grace’s mom, for volunteering last Friday at the Walk-a-Thon and Mr. Ken Clifton, Ian’s dad, for visiting our class and give us the demonstration of giant bubbles. It was fantastic how the children were very excited trying to explode the bubbles of all sizes.
This week will continue practicing for our End of the Year Program “Adios Amigos”. Please remember to pay Mrs. Farias for the costumes. Tutus (6.00) and boy’s hats (5.00). Thank you!
Please know that you have the option of taking your child home for the rest of the day after our program and luncheon on the 16th! On the 17th, it will also be a ½ day. But on this ½ day, there is no extended care because it is the going to be the last day of school.
