St. Benedict Preschool

May 2010

Greetings Preschool families! April was so exciting for the Preschoolers!  Room 7 is full of swimming, wiggling, and growing things!  Our caterpillars are HUGE and are beginning to change into Painted Lady butterflies.  Our tadpoles and triops are growing and changing.  Our earthworms are hatching and slithering around in their nursery.  Our plants are beginning to thrive (especially the amazing Dinosaur Plant).  We also met new Letter People with super fun Science-related themes, celebrated Earth Day, and most importantly to the students… we are once again able to get fresh air and exercise during outdoor recess!  J

 

May is going to be fun and exciting, too!  We will meet the last 2 Letter People: Ms. V (Seeds and Plants) and Mr. X (Planets and Stars).  We will begin subtracting both nonstandard units and numerals in Math.  We will study our Earth and many different types of landforms in Science.  (A Nature Walk is planned in correlation with this unit.)  We will also finish our Religion books and turn our collective focus to several Old and New Testament Bible stories.

 

The Preschoolers will have lots of opportunities to practice their stage presence this month!  We will continue practicing our Spring musical song, “The Land is Your Land”, with Mr. Whitaker and begin practicing for our Preschool graduation and celebration on June 2.  More information regarding this memorable event will be sent home during the middle of the month.

Happy Spring, everyone!  Please GET OUTSIDE, and enjoy the beautiful weather!
