News from Pre-K

March is certainly coming in like a lion…or should I say ‘dragon’?  Our culmination to our Chinese New year study is happening this week.  The lanterns are hung, lucky money envelopes stuffed with shiny pennies, yin-yangs created, lion masks made, and our large dragon head is decorated.  We will have our lantern parade and dragon dance early this week.  The interesting traditions and colorful customs surrounding this holiday are quite spectacular.  Gung hay fat choy! Welcome to the year of the tiger.

We signed and sent out the letter about Daffodil Days, a community service project we participate in every year to support the American Cancer Society.  The children helped compile and deliver the order forms, decorate the collection envelopes, put up the posters around the school, and thank our first supporter (Mrs. McNamee). We eagerly anticipate March 16th, when we will spend the day using our math and literacy skills to help us deliver the cheerful daffodils.

A unit on Dr. Seuss will help us continue to learn sight words, as well as bring some silliness to our winter-weary psyches.  We will also have visits from some mischievous leprechaun’s mid-month. The arrival of spring is also a wonderful time for us to get outside and observe seasonal changes in the school’s neighborhood.  We may also be able to visit a local maple sugaring operation to celebrate this special seasonal treat.

I look forward to parent-teacher conferences coming up in a mere week.  Please sign up for a time for us to chat.

Regards,

Annie
