Dear Parents,
This week we begin our unit on Transformation; it is our last Pre-K unit! We will conclude the year by investigating how things change over time. The word transform means to make a thorough or dramatic change in form, appearance, or character so to begin our work we will try to answer the question “What changes around me?” We will look at things around us in nature and explore how they might change, such as a tree changing with the seasons or a caterpillar changing to a butterfly.
Your child might notice how their neighborhood is changing when new stores and homes are built. We will look back at things we have learned throughout the year and investigate where we have come across change already. The children will explore how objects can change and how they can do things to change those objects.
We will also look at how your child will change as they grow. We looked at how they changed from babies to now during the baby unit and we will explore that further as we conclude this unit. Managing our feelings is an important aspect of growing and changing so we will look at how our feelings can change and how our actions and words can make other people feel.
As we go through our last month of school, we will also spend some time talking about the year that has passed and the upcoming move to Kindergarten. This can be a very emotional time for our students, as for many of them this has been their first real school experience. Please take some time to talk about this with them at home and help prepare them for the end of Pre-K.
We want to thank you for all of your support as we moved from in school learning to remote learning, we couldn’t have done it without you!
