May 2023 - Transportation and Graduation
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
We began our last month of the 2022/2023 school year learning all about transportation.
Lake Superior Zoo
We continued our study of nature and transportation with another field trip – this time to the Lake Superior Zoo. We even got to take a yellow school bus to get there! The weather was gorgeous and we had fun exploring both inside and out. Soon the new red panda will be on exhibit.
Spring Celebrations
May 5th is a Japanese holiday called ‘Children’s Day’ (こどもの日, Kodomo no hi) to celebrate the healthy growth and happiness of children. We celebrate that every day! Ms. Aya taught the preschoolers how to make Koinobori (鯉のぼり) which are fish-shaped streamers. They also made origami Kabuto (兜) hats. We also celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a piñata and some Mexican snacks.
Last Week of Preschool
The weather was beautiful for our last few days of school and we made sure to take advantage of it. One day was so warm and sunny we had to get the pools and sprinkler out to cool off! The kids had a blast they were mostly dry by pick-up time. Our last day of preschool was no exception in terms of weather and we were able to hold the End-of-the-Year Celebration and Preschool Graduation at Old Main Park. Thank you to all of the family members and friends that came to see their little ones perform. It’s hard to believe it is time to wrap up another school year and watch the upcoming kindergarteners moving on!
