Good Afternoon!
**Please clear out your child’s art cubbie at pick up today. Thanks!
In our pre-k/k group, we’re going to be asking a very important community helper to do a job for us: getting our package across the Atlantic Ocean to Lulu in Germany! Lulu, a Wee Friender who just moved away, will be our pen pal for the foreseeable future. Tomorrow, we’re going to start writing her letters or drawing her pictures. When we’re done, we’re going to put them into an envelope and send it to Germany!
Today, we read ‘The Day The Crayons Quit’. In the story, the crayons write letters to Duncan explaining why they’re upset. We took a look at the layout of several letter examples in case we wanted to write a letter to Lulu! Word is..we have a special card coming our way too! We’re excited to receive mail! 
Social Studies: K.2.1 Give examples of people who are community helpers (inside the classroom and outside the classroom) and describe how they help us.
Our sensory need was fulfilled this morning as children explore the moon sand in the sensory bin. Several utensils were used to manipulate the moon sand including spoons, tongs, bowls, and measuring spoons/cups.
A painting opportunity was made available this morning at the art table. Children used small paint brushes to move the paint around the paper.
We have flourished this week, getting back into our regular routine.
Breakfast– Kix and fresh apples/pears.
Lunch– Brown rice with shredded beef, fresh apples, and fresh carrots.
PM snack– Sunflower seeds and graham crackers.
Wee Sprout– PPC cherry tomatoes and fresh carrots.
Have a great evening!
