It’s
hard to believe that the end of the school year is fast approaching! We hope you enjoyed the Spring Tea. The children were very excited to pass out
the cards and flower pots they made.
They did a great job singing, “I’m a Little Teapot” and the “I Love
Mommy, I Love Daddy” song!
Now that
we’re spending more time outdoors, please make certain that your child wears comfortable,
supportive, slip resistant shoes or sandals to school or has a change of shoes
in his/her backpack. Thanks
The end of the year schedule for preschool is as
follows:
Monday/Wednesday/Friday students: The last day of school is Wednesday, June 24th. We will have an end-of-the-year celebration
from 11-12. Parents are invited. The morning and afternoon extended day
program will be held on the 24th.

last year, please note that there is a change to the schedule for the last day
of school.
Themes
We
recently started our “Butterflies” theme.
The children will explore symmetry in art. They’ll use eyedroppers to paint a paper butterfly
that’s folded in half and watch the “magic” when they open it up! They’ll also make butterflies out of coffee
filters, colored water and eyedroppers.
During
center time, the children will have the opportunity to complete a butterfly
puzzle, look at books about caterpillars and butterflies, use butterfly
stencils in their journal and/or paint a butterfly at the easel. During read aloud, the students will listen
to stories about caterpillars and butterflies such as, What Will I Be?
by Nicola Davies and Butterfly Butterfly:
A Book of Colors by Petr Horacek.
