Friday Kindergarten Centres

Friday May 17, 2013

            The students have been enjoying the experience of having some pets in our class.  This week we learnt about where bugs live, what they eat, and the difference between insects and non insects.  Next week we will start learning about the life cycles of silkworms and butterflies and hopefully our silkworms will stay alive because many have become sick.

            Thank you for the quick responses to the silkworm farm in mid June.  Since our class is now at 17 there is not a lot of extra room on the bus.  However, parents are more than welcome to drive out to Mioali and I know that some have already made arrangements to carpool there.

            Please remember that next Tuesday is the elementary art show in the library.  The Pre-K’s will have 5 different art pieces on display along with the many others from the rest of the school.  It will run all day so please drop by and see all of the beautiful art works that everyone has completed throughout the year.
