Hey PreKPals Families!
Happy Easter to our families that celebrate! I hope your long weekend with family and friends was awesome. This is another quick busy week in PreK! Thursday, we have our awesome fieldtrip to make fairy and dinosaur gardens. Friday, CHOM comes to see us at Rock Quarry and we will learn more about bugs!! We only have about 5 more Mondays together! Can you even believe that? This year has flown by!!
We had a great time at Field Day last week! Everyone was super tired because they worked and played super hard! I am trying to load the photos and videos to ClassDojo but have been running into some technical issues. Stay tuned! They are coming!
Gather up your 5 snacks, backpack, Library book, water cup, jacket and rest mat (if you took it home) for school tomorrow.
Reminder! We’ve had several questions about graduation. It is a RQES tradition that we do not “graduate” from PreK or Kinder. In PreK we have a PreK celebration and this will occur on the SAME DAY as Kindergarten Breakfast. That way, parents only have to take off one day, and your kiddos only have to dress up for one day! (Aren’t we smart?) May 16 is the day for Kinder Breakfast and the moving up celebration. You will attend breakfast with your child, then come back to RQES at 12:30 for our celebration. Afterward, you may check your child out if you’d like, so that you do not have to make a third trip to campus that day. Your child is welcome to stay for nap after the celebration if you would like. Students may wear whatever mommies would like for them to wear. There is no dress code.
Please let me know if you are NOT coming to the kinder breakfast, so that I can make arrangements for your child to attend with another adult.
You will NOT need to sign up for a time for Kinder screening because our kinder teachers will do that for RQES PreKPals during the school day, before school is out for the summer.
