Goodbye Friends

I can hardly believe that another school year as come and gone.  Wow!!  It surely flew by.  I really enjoy seeing the progress that each of the kiddos have made from September until now.  They sure are ready for Kindergarten and will have a fabulous time next year.  

First off, I would like to say thank you for sending your child to Pre-K at MAES.  Without that first step, I wouldn't have been able to meet them, help them learn and enjoy their wonderful personalities.  I would also like to thank you for playing a vital role in the success of your child, in and out of school, and for encouraging them as they began their schooling venture.  Your support means a lot and it has been a pleasure getting to work with each of your families.

I hope you all have a safe, happy, and healthy summer and I look forward to seeing these kiddos next year in the hallways and at lunch as Kindergarteners!  

Happy summer,
Ms. Brittany

Scavenger Hunt

On Wednesday and Thursday our classes participated in a scavenger hunt on the Kuse Trail.  This scavenger hunt was to reward our positive behavior as the school year comes to an end.  We ended up at the Kuse Farm and were able to meet Hildegard and Loretta.  They were gracious enough to let us tour their farm and meet many of the animals they had.  We even stopped along the way on the trail for a quick picture.  Our goal was to see if everyone could fit on the bench at the same time.  We ended with a snack of trailmix and a juicebox.  What a nice end of the year celebration!

Meeting the Pups

Ms. Brittany has been promising since Pets week that Zoe and Addie would get to come in for a visit.  With the cold, snowy, muddy weather we've had this spring, the girls finally made it to school last week.  The kids were so excited to meet them and Zoe and Addie were on their best behavior.  Each child had the opportunity to pet the dogs and throw the ball for them.  What a fun activity for everyone!!  We have to send a special "thanks" to Mr. MJ for taking his lunch break two days in a row to bring the dogs to school!

Treyton's turn to throw the ball while the others watch.

Highway Department Field Trip

In the beginning of May we ventured to the Taylor County Highway Department to learn about all the machines that the men and women use to make sure our roads are kept up.  Mr. Rick showed us all sort of equipment and explained what each piece was used for.  We learned how to be safe around these big machines if we see them on the roads and to be sure to stay out of the way if we see them coming.  Our favorite part was hearing the L-O-U-D horn on the snowplow truck!
