Dear
Preschool Parents,
We are
looking forward to Moms coming to visit on May 12th and 13th for
muffins. We’d like you to enjoy a muffin and have your child show you
around the class to see what’s new. We hope you can come for even a short
visit with your child. Invitations are on their way
home!
We’re almost done with our
unit on insects; however, we will be watching our six Painted Lady larva closely
for a while. They have grown very fast and are starting to slow down. By the
end of next week most of them should have become a chrysalis and after two weeks
or so we should have butterflies! Both classes know the life cycle of
butterflies and ladybugs and what features are common in all insects. Most all
insects have 6 legs, 3 body parts, and antennae. It’s been a fun unit and
I think they’ll enjoy looking for bugs all summer
long!
Our next unit is on Community
Helpers. So far a police officer, nurse, and physician’s assistant have
volunteered to talk to our class. We would love anyone else interested in
coming to class.
The May Sharing calendar
is out. I went ahead and scheduled it on Wednesdays and we’ll try and fit
it in during snack time. When we sit in our circle we work on what it should
look like and what it should sound like during share. We will not have sharing
in June. I am planning to do more with a short class meeting format so all will
get a chance to speak as we pass an object. Our mornings go by so quickly that
we just can’t fit everything in!
Thank
you again:
• Our water table is a popular spot.
Thank you for sending in extra water toys.
• We collected quite a bit more Auction
money last month. We appreciated all of your help.
• Preschool memory books: We have quite
a few in and are starting to work on them already. Your child needs a 1 inch
binder and about 10 plastic sleeves. Let me know if you need help rounding one
up!
• We’re hoping for more nice
weather so we can get outside and play even more. Tennis shoes are the safest
for the little ones. Loose boots, sandals, and slip on shoes are not safe on
the play structure.
• Another thank you for the daily snacks
and juice. The kids enjoy the variety sent in
everyday.
Looking
ahead:
We are planning an end of
year Field Trip on June 11, probably to Kid’s Club, and an end of year
picnic the week before school is out. We’ll have more on that later!
Thanks for all that you do. It’s such fun being with your kids and seeing
how much they have grown and changed. We are looking forward to a great month
of
May!
Sincerely,
Mrs.
Sedivy
and
Mrs.
Runyon.
