As the school year draws to a close, here are the latest developments from preschool:

-Alan’s favorite classroom topic has been learning about the 3 R’s – Recycle, Reduce, and Reuse.  Together we went out and bought a recycle bin for home so that Alan could do his part to preserve the environment. Speaking of which, he also told me that littering is bad for the earth and puts animals in danger because “they could eat something they’re not supposed to.”

-To Alan’s delight, the bird feeder he made this year (pictured in the March 20th post) has been feeding the birds at Grandma Debbie’s house for the past month!  Alan has taken pride in checking on it and refilling it each week.

-Alan continues to play “PJ Masks” with Joshua and Ella every day at school.  Joshua plays Catboy, Ella plays Owelette, and Alan plays Gecko, while the other kids take turns playing the villains Romeo and Luna Girl.  Alan’s been known to use Gecko’s “super strength” power at home to lift heavy things from time to time too. 🙂

-Alan’s best friend at school has been Joshua ever since he joined the class midway through the year. They’ve had several playdates already this spring.

-Last month Alan was registered for kindergarten and he’s now officially ready to go in the fall!
