Last week in preschool we made butter!! We used heavy whipping cream, a jar and lots of arm muscles to shake the jar! For snack, we had rolls and the students were able to spread some butter on their roll. The majority of the students gave the butter a thumbs up!

The Student Council is hosting "Anything But A Backpack" Day this Friday, May 6th. Want to join in the fun? Bring anything BUT a backpack to haul your books, computer, and homework around for the day. Let's see how creative you can get with your bookbag alternative. FYI: there are a couple rules: You are responsible for your item, so do not bring anything larger than you can carry or so big that it is invasive to other people's space. Items must be school appropriate. You also cannot bring anything alive, so please leave your pets and siblings at home for the day! You can use your item to bring home anything you no longer need from your lockers, as we enter the last few weeks of the school year.

During this Handwriting activity the preschoolers were able to create "Mat Man". Mat Man is a classroom character that embodies Learning Without Tears unique approach to drawing with multisensory activities and strategies that help young learners develop strong drawing and cognitive skills. Throughout the year we draw Mat Man and sometimes we use the Mat Man wooden sticks to create a bigger version of him.
Yesterday we had a guest reader at preschool! Mrs. Linda came and read two books to us. We have enjoyed having people from our community come in to read. Thank you, Linda! We appreciate all that you do for us!!

Kindergarten students had a great day at the Lincoln Children's Zoo!
Every Tuesday Mrs. Kane leads us in Guidance. We learn how to manage our feelings, best ways to calm down and how to play with others. Some days we even get to play a game! The morning class enjoyed a game of "In the river, on the bank". This is a game that enhances our listening skills. Thank you, Mrs. Kane!
The soon to be Kindergartners enjoyed another visit with the current Kindergarten class. The morning preschool class was able to work with others to complete a letter search around the classroom. The afternoon preschool class joined in on a music class. A fun time was had by all!
