The End is Here...

Hello Preschool Families and Friends,

The last day of preschool is always so bittersweet! Especially this year! We've had most of these wonderful children for 2 years and have really grown to love them! I can confidently say this group is ready for kindergarten as sad as it is for me to send them!

I've said it many times this year but this class has been a dream. The children make us laugh everyday and always impress us with their creativity and high level thinking. They are so caring and thoughtful to their peers and teachers.  I will miss seeing them every Tuesday and Thursday but hope to see them around town and across the hall when I home to visit CES.

Graduation is Thursday from 8:00-8:30 in the gym. We will meet in the gym on this day. Please arrive a little before 8:00 so we can begin promptly at 8:00 so parents who have to get to work can do so when we are done :)

See you then!

Love, Mrs. Prescott

Week 25

Hello Preschool Families and Friends,

I can’t believe the end of the year is here! We have been busy with end of the year assessments and getting ready for kindergarten! The weather has been wonderful and we have been playing on the “big” playground!

Next Thursday is our field trip to Shelburne Farms! If you haven’t turned in your permission slip please do so on Tuesday.

The following Thursday is graduation at 8:00! Please join us in the gym from 8:00-8:45 as we celebrate our preschoolers moving into kindergarten.

Parent teacher conferences will take place after graduation. There is a sign up by the sign in and I will post it here. We will go over end of the year assessments and what you can work on for the summer.

That’s all for now!

Love, Mrs. Prescott

Week 23


I just realized this post never published but was saved as a draft but I published it so you can see photos from our field trip! Sorry about that! This week's post is below! 

Hello Preschool Families and Friends,

We had a very sweet week in preschool! We finished out study of Vermont with Maple Syrup. We made pancakes together on Tuesday and on Thursday we went on our field trip to Palmer Lane Maple. We got to see them boiling sap and got to try fresh maple syrup. The children also got to enjoy a maple creemee.



















Next week we will begin our life cycle study. We will learn about the life cycle of butterflies, frogs, and plants. We will also begin our kindergarten transitions. Next week the kindergarten teachers will come in and meet the children and answer their questions about kindergarten. After break we will visit each classroom.

We filled our good behavior bear with Pom Poms today! The preschooler’s decided they want to have a pajama day again so we will have a Pajama Day next Thursday April 5th.

Dates to Remember

Week 24


Hello Preschool Families and Friends,

We have had a busy month in preschool! I can’t believe we are approaching our last month of preschool.  It is so wonderful seeing how far these children have come this year. When we visited kindergarten this week they blended right in and looked like they belonged there!

What Have We Been Up To?
We studied life cycles for the month of April. We learned about the life cycle of a butterfly, frog, and plant. Today we got to plant some grass seeds that will look like hair when it grows J.
We have been getting ready for kindergarten. We have had all of the teacher’s visit us and we have been visiting the kindergarten classrooms.  We have been playing on the “big” playground and practicing dumping our trays at the window in the cafeteria. We also finished the WHOLE ALPHABET! Next week we will have an “alphabet party” to celebrate! 
If you child has a shirt with letters on it, have them wear it on Tuesday!













Next Month
We will study space as we blast off to kindergarten! We will focus on numbers 1-10. We will also keep reading books and talking about what next year will look like.
If you haven’t done so already please sign up for kindergarten with Beth in the office!

Dates to Remember
May 1 Alphabet Party
May 17 Field Trip to Shelburne Farms 8:30-1:15 **School ends later on this day**
May 24 Preschool Graduation 8:00-9:00

A note from Mrs. Prescott
I have made the bittersweet decision to resign from my position as preschool teacher so I can stay home with my girls. I will not be returning to CES next school year. I have grown so much as an early educator during my 5 years at CES and have made so many wonderful relationships with both children and families that I will cherish for years to come. I hope to still see the kindergarteners when I bring Cecelia to school!

That’s all for now! Remember April showers bring May flowers!

Love, Mrs. Prescott
