Mrs. Russo's Pre-K 4 Classroom News....

I can't believe we are just about at the end of our school year!!!  The release of our classroom butterflies was a success!  We enjoyed watching the incredible transformation from caterpillar to butterfly.  We hope all of our wonderful moms enjoyed the Mother's Day Tea.  The kids did a fabulous job with their singing!  

Our last day of class will be Wednesday, June 4th.  We will have our end-of-the-year closing at 9:00 am in the classroom and then immediately following we will have our end-of-the-year picnic at Dermond Field. The children are to report to school on this day at regular time.  All are welcome to attend the show and picnic!  Children must be accompanied by an adult while at the picnic.  We have a permit for the picnic area until 12:00 pm.  Please let us know if you need directions to the field.  It is less than 5 minutes away from school.  There will be light refreshments at the picnic for all to enjoy.  Unfortunately there is no rain date for our picnic so let's hope for nice weather!!! 

For the remainder of May our themes will be Zoo Animals, Dinosaurs, Ocean Animals, and Summer Fun. Once we are done with all of our letters we will be reviewing them until the school year is over.  The children have worked very hard in their ABC Interactive Notebooks. We can't wait for you to see the final result!  For our Ocean Animal theme,  a visitor from the Adventure Aquarium will be coming to our classroom.  We are excited to see what our visitor brings from the ocean!

In Religion, we will be focusing on our Blessed Mother Mary.  Every day the children will take turns crowning our Mother Mary and reciting the Hail Mary.  If at anytime during the month of May your child would like to bring in flowers (a single flower or a small bouquet), we will put them on our religion table by our Mary statue.  

On Wednesday, May 14th, the Pre-K class will be visiting the Book Fair in McGettigan Hall.  If you would like for your child to pick out a book or two, please fill free to send money in an envelope marked "book fair".  If you have any specific requests, please include that in the envelope along with the money.  Please don't forget that there is an online option to order books as well. :)

Lastly, there is NO SCHOOL on the following days... (Friday) May 23rd, (Monday) May 26th, and (Thursday) May 29th.
