Farm
This week our theme was farm. We talked about the animals we might see at a farm and the things that they provide us with like food and materials for clothes. We also talked about the machines that we might see that help farmers with their crops as well as the buildings to house the animals and machines. We had a special visitor who shared a great story about the colors we see on farms (you will be seeing a copy of this book come home soon) and she provided us with a special yogurt parfait made from foods seen in the book.

Transportation and Mother's Day
This week we had two themes, Mother's Day and transportation. We made Mother's Day cards, a fun survey about our moms, homemade bee's wax lip balm, and a fun little bee. We went to the Taylor County Highway shop to see some of the vehicles used to keep our roads safe for travel-a tractor lawn mower, chip sealer, crack and pothole filler, grader, cold finishing roller, and a snow plow. We also talked about all the different ways we could go from one place to another-walk, hot air balloon, boat, train, etc. and that there are signs, lights, and rules to help keep us safe on the road too.
A look back at last week: The elementary school collected more bags than last year! My classes collected 376 and the school as a whole collected 25,760. County Market will be bringing us watermelons for a special snack as a thank you for being so diligent in collecting bags to recycle.
Also, one the hallway displays has been getting a lot of great comments. We read the story, " A House for a Hermit Crab" to go with our ocean theme that we had. It was about a little crab who had a plain white shell that he thought was too plain and so he set out to decorate it with new friends in the ocean. By the time the story was through he had been to a lot of fun places, met knew friends and decorated his shell and was now in need of a larger one because he had outgrown his. We talked about how this was like Pre-K. We have had a lot of different themes to learn about, letters and numbers too, and made new friends and have seen fun places but now our time is almost done in Pre-K and will be going on to kindergarten, so I had them decorate paper plates and had them be a hermit crab. :) SO FUN!!!!
Reminders:
--Early Release on Tuesday, May 17th. Dismissal is 1:52
--No school on Monday, May 30th
--School Forest Field trip on Wednesday, May 25th and Thursday, May 26th--feel free to spay your child with bug spray BEFORE they come to school as the woods is full of mosquitoes.
--Last day of PreK will be Wednesday, June 1st and Thursday, June 2nd. These are full days and please send a back pack and have your child wear tennis shoes as we will be walking to and from the city park.
