Science
Literacy
We will be studying letters K and Y. For K we will be reading Kangaroo Kazoo and some K activities are how many Kisses will fill the letter K, Kangaroo hop scotch, make and decorate a kite. For the letter Y we will read The Yak Who Yelled Yuck and some Y activities are yellow collage on the letter Y, graph of their favorite yellow thing, Yo Yo color code, and Yarn painting.
Art
Pre-Kindergarten students have been celebrating spring in art classes. They painted daffodils after exploring the parts of these bright, cheery flowers. Making collages has supported our young artists' cutting and gluing skills. Observing and drawing daffodils requires hard work with lots of opportunity for creativity. Students will also be discovering leaves exploding on tree branches when given oil pastels and watercolor paints to express their observations. Work together with your child to see how many different types of flowers you can find growing this month.

PreK April Environmental Science News
We will be visiting our bird nest materials that we spread outside for the birds in our creek area. If most of our yarns, newspaper strips and “fuzzy wuzzys” are gone; we know the birds found them for their nests!!
Our alphabet hike to the creek will have our students searching for nature items that begin with a letter and/or sound – always a fun and challenging activity.
Spring is also a great time to introduce seeds and the concept of a little plant living inside! By planting marigold seeds in pots in our greenhouse, the PreK’s hope to prove that it is true! Since your child’s seedling will be coming home to your house in May, please be thinking of a safe (dog-free) sunny space (garden or pot) for their little plant to thrive. Directions will come with their marigold plant. Happy Gardening!
