​Can You Take 5???
The week of April 16th-20th is the Week of the Young Child.  The Week of the Young Child (WOYC) is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) to recognize the importance of the early childhood years.  As part of our celebration we will be giving parents the opportunity to “take 5 minutes” to spend with their child in the form of a short activity to do together each afternoon at pick up.  Please take 5 extra minutes out of your schedule to visit your child’s classroom during the Week of the Young Child to appreciate the joy of childhood.  If you have any questions about the Take 5 activities please contact the school office at (785) 232-0263 or email us at ucdpreschool@sbcglobal.net. 

Show-and-Tell:

Remember, Show-and-Tell doesn’t have to be difficult! As long as you can tie in the theme, your child can show it! For instance, for Easter week a child brought in their light-up Disney magic wand. Her reason? If it’s dark when she’s trying to find eggs, the wand light can help her find them!
