Which was greater? The total number of the letter Pp or Qq?

Mathematics – I want to share a game I used to play with my family. You can play with a sibling or your parents. Take a picture to show me the results of your game.

Parents, your child is already registered for kindergarten at William Ford. We only have one student moving to a new school next year. If you change your phone number(s) or need to update email accounts, PLEASE notify next year’s teacher and the William Ford office when school opens up. However, you will need a new physical and immunization record. After the stay at home order is lifted try to schedule an appointment with your child’s pediatrician.

You may come to William Ford tomorrow, Tuesday, May 12 from 12:00 -2:00 pm to pick up a few summer supplies for your child, if you wish.

Please review the preschool daily schedule above (page under students picture).

Science – Guess what? The caterpillars have arrived!!

Watch the video that will teach you about the metamorphosis that happens in the life cycle of a butterfly. https://watchandlearn.scholastic.com/videos/animals-and-plants/baby-animals-and-life-cycles/the-life-of-a-butterfly.html

Language, Literacy and Communication – We are going to start to keeping a caterpillar diary. Watch how I started it.
