We are so excited for the month of June in Pre-K 3! We are very busy rehearsing and rehearsing for our Moving Up Ceremony at the end of school. We are very excited that we are almost Kindergarteners! This month we are learning about Community Helpers and the season of Summer. Our favorite thing to do is to put our lab coats and goggles on and do science experiments. We are going to find out what is the best liquid to mix with sand to build a sand castle. We like to make a predicition at the beginning of our experiment and then see if we're correct at the end. We are very excited for our Outside Day. We will be playing with bubbles, water balloons, chalk, and even getting ice pops! It's going to be an awesome day!

We will continue practicing our math skills with pattern work, number recognition, counting, and shapes. We cannot believe we are all done with the alphabet! We are currently reviewing all the letters that we have learned since September! We will keep practicing until we are super experts.

There are some things we work on everyday in Pre-K 3, no matter what the theme. This includes the calender, Pledge of Allegience, the weather report, counting, the whole alphabet, following directions, taking turns, sharing with our friends, and listening to the teacher. We play as many games as possible to practice being good friends and our listening skills.
