So Much to do...So Little time!!

We have a lot going on in the month of May!  We're starting our zoo animals unit and we'll be looking at land and water animals. This will be a lot of fun as we build up our understanding and knowledge of the animals that we'll visit on May 19th.  Later on this week, we'll open up a veterinarian's office in our play area and bring in all of our zoo stuffed animals.  We'll start off this week learning about elephants and we'll learn a song about how the elephants went out to play on a spider's web one day!  We'll see how large an elephant's tooth is by measuring out ten inches!  Wow, that is very long.  Then we'll measure out the size of a full grown African elephant's ear which is about six feet long and four feet wide!  I wonder how many children we can fit inside an elephant's ear! The children are still enjoying the camping area so we'll leave that up for a few more days.

This week we hope to walk to McDonald's on Thursday and please send in socks with your child so they will be able to play in the Play land.  I'll send home a reminder as well.  We have two more permission slips for this month, besides our McDonald's one this week.  I will send home the zoo permission slip next week and the swim and picnic permission slip in about a week and a half.  Please reserve the date-Wednesday, May 25 as that's when our preschool Red Room will be presenting a short program. We will also give you the scrapbooks that we've been working on all year and share some time to talk over the year over some refreshments.
