Important Dates to Remember

May 8 - Field Trip to Brookings and Last Day of Preschool

~Tuesday~

The preschoolers did an awesome job at screening.  You should be getting the information regarding the screening soon.  Our theme this week was about the FARM.  We started by asking how many of them have ever visited a farm.  I was able to locate some eggs that we can hatch in our incubator.  So.. in approximately 21 days, with any luck, we will have baby chicks.  You will be able to view them at the Student Extravaganza on May 4. 

~Thursday~

On Thursday we discussed how we get flour to make bread.  I brought my bread machine and we all added the ingredients to make home-made bread.  You could smell it all over the elementary wing.  We read "Mrs. Wishy Washy" and fingerpainted brown to make "mud" and pink to make pigs.
