Once upon a time there were 14 children whose grown ups signed them up for preschool. The plan was made that they would come on Wednesday mornings. 11 of the children started in September and three siblings waited until they turned three years old. On Wednesdays we had 3 sibling pairs, two who went to one childcare together and three who went to another childcare together, one whose mama was a preschooler here themselves and ALL of them were valuable parts of the class. These children had green labels by their name because we called Wednesday the “Green Day” class. Then on a Wednesday in May, it was the last day that this group of 14 children would be together. Two of them were gone on a trip, but we remembered them all day. The school year was over.
Here is how we spent our last Wednesday together:
We continued working on our butterfly prints…everyone will take one home on their last day. We ate snack out of our School Boxes! We had a very special snack mix and made a graph of favorite parts. Ms Kristin dropped in another package of Smarties since we are all so smart. We thanked Grandma Mona for all the extra clean up she did after snack time. We went on the little round swing. We matched the plastic eggs and went in the sound tunnel. We worked with the months of the year and holidays during Circle Time. We hid the spots with our feet at Circle Time too. We talked about Kindergarten, preschool and summer. We played with favorite things and did Show and Tell outside. We picked flowers and watched some city workers use the fire hydrant. We held hands to play a Circle Game at the end of the day and sang We Wish You Well. We had a such a special day today.
Here’s to a precious group of children. Thank you to all the moms. dads, grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, childcare providers and friends who made it possible for them to attend. We are grateful.
