PreK eNews

Once again we were reminded of God’s creativity this week as we learned about many different insects.
We discovered that insects have 3 main body parts, 6 legs, and that spiders are not insects! We also decided that some insects are really cute (ladybugs and fireflies) and others are really cool (grasshoppers and praying mantis’). We are busy learning, even as our school year is drawing to an end.

Please see the important information below regarding Bike Day!

Reminders

“Bikes” may be tricycles, big wheels, bicycles with training wheels, etc…but it is very important that children can independently ride the riding toy they bring! (please check to make sure it is working properly…i.e., air in tires, training wheels and bike seats tightened.)
Students MUST have a helmet to ride! (we stress safety…so not having a helmet isn’t an option).
Please put sunscreen on your child before coming to school.
You will drop off the bike and helmet by the Kidz Theatre (under the awning by arrival/dismissal area) when you bring your child to school…and pick it up in the same place that afternoon. Look for the sign with the teacher’s name and put bike there.
Bring an extra water bottle and put it in the cooler by the sign.
Please LABEL bikes, helmets and water bottles with your child’s name.
Snacks: Cereal, goldfish, crackers, or pretzels
