Bugs & Frogs

This week our theme was Bugs and Frogs. We learned about the life cycle of a frog and all about different types of bugs. We went to the school forest and were able to see tadpoles, frogs, turtles, birds, bugs (thankfully not too many mosquitoes yet!), and even little fish. If you haven't checked your child over for ticks, please be sure to.  We heard the story of the wide mouth frog and painted bugs by doing paint blotting. 

Next week our theme is Goodbye Friends and Father's Day. It will be a short week for the Monday/Wednesday group as there is no school on Monday for Memorial Day. 

Please be sure to still send your child with a backpack on their last day of school. We will have belongings and Father's Day goodies going home. Also, we will be walking to and from the city park on Wed/Thurs so please send your child with tennis shoes. If you would like to have your child wearing sunscreen, please apply this prior to sending them to school. We will be outdoors from around 10:00 until a little after 12:00. We will be having a picnic lunch at the park, if you choose to send your child with a lunch from home-please be sure it is completely disposable (including the bag) as we will not be carrying things back to the school. 

Enjoy the long weekend, remember Medford's last day of school is Friday, June 2nd and it will be an early release at 1:22 that day for those with older siblings.
