Dear Families,
The countdown is on, just four more days till the Zoo trip!
The children all seem to be looking forward to it J please be mindful to meet us at the entrance by 8:45 am so we can organize our group. We are scheduled to have a private class on animal adaptations that morning at 9:30 am. We plan to begin to view the exhibits on your own till 9:30 am when we will then meet at the Education Building for our private class. After the class you can continue to view exhibits till 11:30 am, We will then meet on the front lawn for a picnic lunch. Pre-K will provide a sack lunch for each student, so adult chaperones and sibling should take their sack lunch or you may purchase food at the Zoo café. We also recommend that you take a blanket to sit on. After lunch, you can finish seeing the rest of the exhibits at your own pace. Pre-K staff will leave the zoo at 2:00 pm, however, you are welcome to stay as long as you like. Remember to wear your tie-dye T-shirt. Thank You for your cooperation.
Attached to this newsletter is tonight’s home activity.
Our letter study for this week is the letter “Zz” for Zelda Zebra.
This week our class will wrap up the “Animals Everywhere” theme. Our topic this week is “Animals on Land and Sea” Our read-aloud this week is a tale from Africa titled
“Who’s in Rabbit‘s House?” 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? What animal did you read today? What did you learn about that animal?
Please remember that we welcome parents and grandparents who are willing to come in and share an activity from your family’s cultural sheet. You may also come into the classroom and read a story to the children and do a seasonal activity. Just let us know beforehand so we can make the proper accommodations. Thank you.

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!!!
