Another busy week has passed us in the Pre-K class; Wednesday was the highlight with the musical scavenger hunt in the morning and running races in the afternoon.  I saw many parents throughout the entire day and it was great to have your support. 

This is our last week of our space unit and when we return from Spring break we will start our community helpers unit.  As you can see by the letter that went home yesterday there are many field trips next month.  The final field trip will be to Taipei to visit Baby Boss and it is always a highlight of the school year.

This week we started our science fair experiment.  We will be growing bean sprouts by watering them using various liquids.  Our first step has been to germinate the beans and today we planted them.  After the break we will start the experiment with observing what each plant gets fed.

Our annual Easter egg hunt will be the first day back after Spring break.  Parents are welcome to come and join the festivities.  On a different note, please try to send the plastic folders back to school as soon as possible.
