Spring is coming and we couldn’t be more excited. We are looking forward to many fun outdoor activities. The children will be able to plant flowers in their classroom’s planter box and go on nature walks. Be sure to check your child’s classroom curriculum and calendar for upcoming spring events.
Summer Camp
Summer Camp sign ups are now posted. Deana has some exciting activities planned that your child won’t want to miss out on. We always want our clients to have the first chance to sign up so reserve your spot today! If you have any questions about which weeks your child is out of school just ask the office. Remember that there is a non-refundable $25.00 deposit. This will credit to your account once Summer Camp begins.
Scholastic Book Orders
Scholastic catalogues are handed out by teachers and there are also extras in the office, be sure to pick one up. Ordering books through Scholastic is the least expensive way to buy books for your children. Book orders are due March 27th.
A Step Ahead
All of our teachers conduct various activities and lessons throughout the day which most of our parents are not able to see since the end of the day is usually when we are winding down. I love walking through the rooms throughout the day and watching what your wonderful kids are learning. The other day I was working with the Kindergartners and Teacher Deana’s class on addition. I loved helping them and showing them different ways and tools to use for adding. I was so impressed with our Kindergartners’ ability to add. I am witnessing them tackling 2nd grade curriculum and Deana is doing an amazing job with them. I also loved watching Teacher Mayra counting with the Big 2’s. She uses a lot of visuals to aid in their learning. Take a look at a few of the pictures I took while observing classrooms.
INFANTS, WADDLERS & TODDLERS
Please take the chance to talk to your baby’s teachers when you drop off or pick up your child so they can talk about your baby’s day with you. Please check your child’s cubby and take your baby’s blanket home on Fridays and bring it back washed and clean on Mondays. This helps your child stay healthy. Please label all your baby’s belongings to prevent them from getting lost. Please keep donating your Box Tops, Cream of Weber caps and Campbell’s Soup labels. Please remember to enter in the West door on the tile; we want to keep feet and germs off the carpet as much as possible because this is where the babies play and crawl. Happy Birthday Kehlil (5th), Colton (7th), Madelyn (10th), Clara (13th), and Jessica (15th).
