Classroom News • Pre-Kindergarten: Pre-K is sad

because our guinea pig, Diego, died last Friday. We are decorating his cage and remembering how we love him. Our letter of the week is Uu. We have been watching videos of ukulele music, people riding unicycles, and even looking at pictures of the universe.

• Kindergarten: We are beginning to work on our show, “Go Fish.” This Kindergarten show will take place at the end of the year. The children will receive their parts sometime next week. The theme for this show is that it takes all kinds of fish to make the ocean the beautiful place that it is, just the way that it takes all kinds of people to a world filled with harmony and color make.
