PreK News of the Week
April 23, 2019
Welcome back from Easter break!
This week we are learning about letter Xx, our word of the week is x-ray; our job of the week is x-ray technician; our dinosaur of the week is a xenoposeidon. We continue to review our shapes and colors, and numbers 1-20 with the main focus being on 1-10.
Lots of activities happen at St. Patrick School during the month of May. Please read everything carefully. If you have questions email me - it can be confusing because PreK does not participate in all school functions AND also has its own celebrations. If you think something is not correct, or if I have messed up dates, please reach out to me. I tend to make a lot of errors during this time of year :) Must be "summer fever."
Community Helpers Week begins May 13 in PreK. We will have visitors from the Sheriff's K-9 Unit, York City Police Department and York City Fire Department. This is a fun week in PreK because we learn all about the people who help our community. All visitors have been scheduled during the morning so that our friends who leave school at 11:00 a.m. may participate.
******IMPORTANT:******
