Family Friday! We enjoyed having our families in to participate in our different center activities. It was a great way to end Week of the Young Child.

Artsy Thursday! We painted using anything but paintbrushes. We painted with sponges, rubber balls, forks and bottle caps!
We are excited to announce that Lawrence Union Free School District has been chosen as one of the 975 school districts nationwide to receive acknowledgement towards their efforts in having Music Education be a large part of the learning opportunities given to our students.

We continue to strive and bring joy to our Lawrence students throughout their educational journey here with us!
Work Together Wednesday! Today we worked together to make the parachute go up and down. We also had to keep the balls from flying off the parachute. Lots of fun and laughter as Week of the Young Child continues.
Week of the Young Child continues and on "Tasty" Tuesday, we created healthy faces using different vegetables supplied to us by Food Services. Children used carrots, cucumbers, and celery to make happy faces.
This week we celebrate Week of the Young Child. Today for Music Monday, we watched Lawrence Middle School sing songs from their show, Shrek Jr! We also made instruments and played different instruments in our classrooms.

Today we celebrated 100 days of school! It’s been an incredible journey of growth, learning, and fun for our little learners, and we couldn’t be prouder of their accomplishments. To mark this special occasion, we had planned some exciting activities. Today we counted 100 objects and completed 100 exercises!
Here’s to 100 days of learning, laughter, and love!
Happy World Read Aloud Day! World Read Aloud Day was created by the non-profit LitWorld and sponsored by Scholastic, is celebrated annually in over 173 countries and is all about bringing people together through the shared connection of reading aloud in all of our communities. Today students listened to a read aloud read live by the author! They were also able to choose some books to take home and keep. Read a book with your child daily and enjoy the endless adventures each story takes you on!
Today we celebrated Peaceful Letter Day. We read the book Alphabet Mystery by Audrey Wood. We went on a quest to find letter "x" and found other letters along the way. After solving riddles and finding all of the letters including X we built our own letters using craft sticks.
We celebrated Multicultural Day by having a parade and inviting families into our classrooms to teach us about their culture, customs and traditions. We enjoyed learning about all the different countries our families represent!
Multicultural Day will be on Friday, January 19th at 1:00pm. Families are welcome to join us as we parade through the Pre-K hallway wearing clothing/colors that best represent our heritage. Please bring in your poster and an item to share with the class after the parade. Looking forward to learning about your customs and traditions!
What a wonderful week enjoying fun holiday festivities and our prek children singing for our Winter Sing! Wishing all of our students and families a wonderful holiday and prosperous new year. School will resume Tuesday, January 2nd.
