Week of the Young Child and Transportation

Welcome back to another week of Pre-K!  This is definitely a fun and exciting week as there are many different events and activities planned to celebrate The Week of the Young Child!  Thank you to those families who returned their slips for the Beach Party on Thursday.  I look forward to seeing you there!  It should be a blast!  

I would like to send out a  "thank you" to Nestle (Tombstone) Pizza Division who graciously donated 4 cases of pizzas for our celebration this week.  I'd like to send out another very special "thank you" to my dad, Steve (who works there) for getting the donation ok'd and for getting the pizzas lined up for us! 

This week in Pre-K we are learning about different modes of transportation.  We will be talking about what the big, long word means, ways we can get around, and also get to see some of the fascinating machinery that is used to keep our roads in good conditions as we venture to the County Highway Shop for a field trip!  We are finished going through each letter and its sound, but will continue to practice them throughout the weeks.  Please continue to practice at home as well.

Just in case you misplaced the Classroom News, here are the events that will be occurring this week:

***Monday April 23 - Live with Colleen and Uncle Squaty!  Shake it Down and Turn Around!
Performances at 1:00 and 4:30 in the Medford Area Elementary School Gymnasium.  All children and parents are encouraged to attend. 

***Thursday April 26 - Potluck Dinner and Dance
Dinner at 5:00 and Dance at 6:00 pm at Medford Area Elementary School.  DJ Scott Woller will be providing the tunes for the children and parents to dance along with.  MAES will be providing hamburgers, hot dogs, buns and punch and each family will bring a dish to pass.

***Saturday April 28 - Movie at Broadway Theatre
Special movie for early education children and families at Broadway Theatre in Medford at 11:00 A.M.  $5.00 admission and 50% off soda and popcorn.  Kid Friendly Movie to be determined.

REMINDER:

**Please read the note that was sent home with your child regarding head lice.  Also, please remember to continue checking your child's head at home.  

I will be updating the blog with numerous pictures from our field trip to the county highway shop!  Be on the look out for those within the next few days!

Have a great week,

Ms. Brittany
