May 18th - 21st, 2026: Ocean (Week 2!) and FIELD DAY!

Hello Firefly Families!

Welcome to our LAST BLOG of the year! Gosh, how that flew by. ;) What a wonderful year it has been! We had a wonderful last full week learning a little bit more about the ocean and spending a fun afternoon together at Field Day 2026. We learned about jellyfish and did a cool experiment by making a jellyfish out of glue, sprinkling on salt and then dabbing it with watercolor--the results were so cool! We practiced sequencing 1-10 with ocean creatures, made a sea star and glued on Cheerios for the "tube feet", played Go Fish, played with kinetic sand and sea shells, responded to the journal prompt, "What are you excited to do this summer?" and lots of other fun activities. We also finished our numbers by working on 9 & 10 in our HWT books. 

Reminders:

*Firefly WATER DAY!: Tuesday, May 26th! Please have your kiddo wear their swim suit/trunks to school and bring an extra set of clothes to change into! We will be mixing with the Eagle class for a fun afternoon! 💦

*Firefly End of the Year Party in the Park!: Wednesday, May 27th! We'll meet you at Tilles Park @ 9:30!
