Congratulations Preschool!

Wow! The year has ended! What a year it has been, too! The events of the world forced us to be resourceful, risk-taking, self-motivated learners. We learned a lot about technology and ourselves during this time but Preschool never stopped trying!

Some fun statistics for you:

Last week alone, Preschool we commented on each others learning 101 times!! We posted 64 learning engagements!
And...drum roll...since we began remote learning three months ago, you all posted 1,640 posts of learning, creations, discoveries, and sharing!
You're the best

Preschool dancing in celebration of their awesomeness!


I look forward to learning with you again in first grade! Until then, I will leave you with this borrowed poem and wish you a healthy and fun summertime!

First Week Back!

Preschool returned to school this week with bells on! Everyone remembered the rules that keep each other safe and did their very best to keep their distance, wash their hands, not share, and clean up.

Thinking, writing, and drawing about how we feel:

At the end of a successful first day back:

Next week we will be in school on Tuesday and Friday again for half-days with no snack. Please dress appropriately (light clothing and running shoes) as we have recess outside and are not using air conditioning due to the need for proper ventilation. Also don't forget a hearty, healthy breakfast to hold the students over until lunch time. Online learning will slow a bit to give space for our student-led conferences. Please book your conference if you have not already.

The last week of school we will be in school on Monday the 15th from 9am-12pm with no snack. The last day of school (Tuesday, June 16th) will be a final time to meet with the specialists (PE, German as a Foreign Language, Japanese・こくご) and we will have one last online meeting to celebrate all they have done in Preschool! I will send an invitation with the time once the specialists have confirmed their schedule.
