Our Class Poem!

Discovery day it was today
For the boys and girls in school
It started at meeting
and went on until leaving
And all the things they did were cool!

They took old water bottles and filled with with things
Something were wet and dry and sparkly!
then they shook them around
till new things were found
Then they put them in Discovery!

On the blue rug, they sang and they danced
and put out the blocks, tiles, and a truck.
At snack they drank tea
and learned about the sea
Then went outside to play in the muck! (Note: please send extra clothes for this reason!!)

See, preschool is fun!
Come on everyone!!
Find all these new things to do!
We'll build things to borrow
and see tomorrow
What new things we are going to do!

Gardening!

We started more seeds today!
Everyone wrote the name of the seed they were planting.

We worked scooped the soil into the containers and then observed the seeds and how different shape, sizes, and colors they are!

Did you know pea seeds were peas? But they are not green! The kids thought that was so funny!
Here is what we planted:
Parsley, lettuce, spinach, peas, peppers, parsley

We are hoping to continue to grow, grow, grow!!!

If anyone has some extra pots, soil or seeds, we would love to plant them for you!

St Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

We are Green-a-licious Today!

Today we had a lot going on! At the tables today we experimented with making rainbows in shaving cream, we made yummy, rainbow Fruit loop bracelets,

and tried out Q-tips to mix yellow and blue to make green.

We also got a special note from the leprechaun that told us he hid 17 gold coins on our playground! We had so much fun finding all 17 coins we hid them again and again! Some of the children buried them and others hid them under things.

I wonder if the Leprechaun will find them? We left a Leprechaun trap outside to see if we could trap him! Some of the kids think they found his door to his house, but we are not so sure.

Have a safe and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Parent Council Rep Needed

Hi parents,

While I have enjoyed my time as Willow Street parent rep (in no small part because Kara and the other teachers have done such a wonderful job with our kids in the classroom and Michelle Rooks does all the hard work with the blog), I was wondering if anyone would be interested in taking my place sometime in the upcoming months. At this point, most of our conversations are focused on the transition to the new site in Rafter J, and I think it might make more sense to have a parent on the council whose child will be attending CLC next year. (Becca will be starting kindergarten.)

The meetings are the third Friday of each month from 12-1 at the Town Council chambers. It has been a great opportunity to be involved in CLC on a more administrative level. Please let me know if you are interested. There is a meeting this Friday (3.19) if you want to come check it out.

Thanks,
Nicole
