Hello Parents,

Welcome to a week of gardening and giggles with letter Gg!  Our wee friends will enjoy planting seeds to grow a classroom garden of beans and flowers.  We will explore the life cycle of a plant, take a look at the various sizes and shapes of seeds, learn what plants need to grow and take on the responsibility of caring for our plants.  Our friends will also create a "Friendship Garden".  

Our friends will also create a "Friendship Garden".  Just as a garden can have all shapes, sizes, flavors, and colors of plants, friends also have similarities and differences that make each of us so special and worthy of love and respect.  We will discuss how we can cultivate and care for our friendships with understanding, kindness and acceptance, just as God our Creator calls us to do.

Letter Gg will also allow for fun trips to our classroom grocery store where the children will sort play food items, arrange a "store" and have fun with imaginary play while shopping and paying for items.  The little ones will also meet "Gregory the Terrible Eater", "Goldilocks" and "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" in story forms.  We will play STOP and GO games, Go Fish and 1-2-3 Go cards games as well as graph colorful goldfish and practice our ABCs and sounds with learning activities.  

The pre-K friends will observe Earth Day this week.  Various eco-friendly activities will be presented including a nature scavenger hunt around our school campus.  Even our wee little spot in Drexel Hill has plenty of outdoor life to see and explore!  Please check your child's folder for a paper asking you to write down a way your family helps the earth, i.e. recycling, composting, reusing, etc.  We will read the ideas  and discuss how our families help the environment.  Thank you!

Classroom Notes: PreK 4A is a peanut and shellfish-free classroom.  Please check food labels for these allergens and any possible contact with these allergens in the manufacturing process.  Thank you!

Thank you for all the donations to the Troop Tango collection to benefit our retired men and women who have served our country.  Our very own Mrs. McGillian plays a big part in making sure the veterans receive these needed donations.  Thank you, Mrs. McGillian!  
Please be sure your child is dressed comfortably for play and moving and grooving.  We run and play everyday!

Upcoming Events: Wacky Wednesday!  April 28th: During the week of April 26th we will present the letter Ww.  Please consider helping your child get a little wacky to celebrate Wacky Wednesday for letter Ww.  In the past, children have had wacky socks, clothing, dressed backwards, wacky hats. etc.  The teachers have been known to get a little wacky, too....and the principal, as well!  Fun for all!

Reminder to our MOMMIES that the annual Mother's Day Tea for PreK 4 will be changed due to COVID protocols.  Instead of joining us in school for a tea party, the children will prepare special surprises to send home to you during the week of May 4th along with a video message.  Even though you can not join us for a special day at school, we will send our love and surprises home to you!

We are still hoping for some Virtual Mystery Reader submissionsthrough May!  Feel free to videotape a story or have a relative send a video to share with the class.  The children LOVE seeing family members pop up on the big screen and read a story.  aven't already  Thank you for your consideration!

Please contact your child's teacher with any questions or concerns.

Enjoy a wonderful week,
Kaky Mullen
