Dear Families, 

Thank you to all families who took time out of their busy schedules and joined us at the Zoo, and for the animal adaptions class. It was nice to see all families and children engaging and interacting with one another.

Attached to this newsletter is tonight’s home activity. My theme summary for this next theme, the theme vocabulary, the new theme song, the sign-up sheet for the next PTCs on May 24^th, and a flyer on Tips by text.

This week our class will begin our last theme titled “Ready for Kindergarten”. Our topic this week is “Now I Know My ABC’s” During the next few weeks we will celebrate and review what we have learned about letters, numbers, and words. We will be reading alphabet and kindergarten transition books. Our read-aloud this week is a tale from AESOP titled “The Tortoise and the Hare” You can help your child learn more by talking to them about the things that they are doing in school, and the letters, words and numbers they have learned. ASK? Can you see some words in our home? Do you know the names of those words? What other letters do you know? Show me, can your write them? Can you point them out and name them? This can be done with numbers as well

Our letter study for this week is the letter “Ll” for Larry Lion.

 Please ask your child to tell you about their new classroom job. (jobs change weekly) You can see your child’s job posted in the classroom helping hands, or see it on the “Kids Corner” section of this website. 

REMINDER!!!!!             

On inclement weather days, McCurdy Pre-K will follow the McCurdy Charter school schedule, meaning if a 2-hour delay is called for charter, then we also have a 2-hour delay, however, if this happens to fall on a Friday, then school is canceled as we only have a half day.

In case Charter has an in-service, then look for an email from me, or check your local news for closure

**Thank You! **Muchas Gracias!!!
