Pre-K: Earth Day in Pre-K April 14-16, 2025
April 14-16, 2025
Dear Pre-K Families,
While this was another shorter week, we had a busy time in Pre-K as we focused on our Earth, celebrating Earth Day, and how we can take care of our Earth! We focused on recycling, reducing and reusing materials and what happens to garbage when it leaves our trashcans from home and school. We shared all sorts of ways to take care of our Earth from picking up trash to planting trees, flowers and keeping our oceans clean too.
We enjoyed writing in our journals, practicing our upper and lowercase letters and writing numbers to 20. We painted pictures of our Earth at the art easel, and created items using recycled materials. We practiced writing big words around the room like ‘Earth’ and ‘Recycle’.
We went to “Be Ahead of the Game” on Tuesday and practiced soccer skills with our feet as well as following multi-step directions.
On Thursday, we were able to meet with all 16 families representing the 17 children in our Pre-K class. Thank you to everyone for making the time to come speak with us. We enjoyed celebrating the wonderful accomplishments and growth from our Pre-K class members! We appreciate each class member and family!
Other highlights this week:
- Using sand toys in the sand table including Easter Bunnies and Eggs!
- We welcomed a lot of recycled items to a free building center in our classroom!
- We played a fun recycling game.
- We played outside in the sunny weather!
