Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for
coming to our portfolio celebration and share today! The cuties were SO happy that you were here
with them!!!! We have such an amazing and special class today and I felt
unbelievable joy today looking at their smiling faces and yours today!
The first page of the
portfolios are fixed—everyone took them home today so look out for
them!!!! We told the bus aunties to make
sure the portfolios went off the bus with your child! I will put the slideshow on Youtube with an
address (so you can share it with whoever you want to but the whole world can’t
see it! J) I will get to you soon with that.
We had another fun and busy
learning week. We…
*learned the sound, hand
motion and letter formation for the letter Vv.
*added velcro to our feely letter Vv.
*brainstormed words that
began with Vv and added them to our alphabet journals.
*did a lot of things to
finish off our portfolios—May self portraits, heights, finished with our
favorite parts of Pre-K and wrote about our trip to Sungei Buloh.
*read
a lot of Mo Willems books---we are back on an obsession!!
An important note from
Pre-K J
Dear Parents and Friends of the ECC,
In June, the ECC will say goodbye to Mrs. Geri Johnson and Mrs.
Rosita Abrew Lee. Mrs. Johnson has served as the Director/Deputy
Principal of the ECC since it’s opening in 2004 and will be moving to Delhi,
India. Mrs. Abrew Lee has been the secretary in the ECC since 2004 and
will be retiring to spend time with her family.
A farewell on Friday, May 23, before the sing-a-long, is being
held in Geri and Rosita’s honor, to thank them for their commitment to
SAS. We invite all parents to say good-bye to these special ladies.
We hope you can drop in next Friday sometime between 11:30 –
12:30 in the ECC Pre-School Group Room to say good-bye and express your best
wishes to these amazing women. They have helped to make the ECC the
inspirational and magical place that it is today.
Best regards,
ECC Team
