End of the Year Notes!

Don't forget to plan for May 8th! We will be singing on the stage in the Great Hall along with everyone else, then there will be time to browse the book fair and have a snack before you head home. Actually, this year the refreshments will come first - right after morning carpool. Be sure to check the seating chart for the best seats for pictures, video, etc.
The children will need to wear denim bottoms (skirt,shorts,etc) and white tops...
More pics to follow, hopefully by this evening. I have some real cuties from outside since the weather has been so wonderful.
Our class party will be the 15th in the classroom. This has been a really great year for our class and we want to thank you all for that!
Please check back this evening for picture posts! I hope to have the individual and new class photo for you by next Wednesday.

Happy Easter & Happy Spring Break!

Ms. Beth & I would like to wish our Preschool Families a Happy Easter and we hope you all have a wonderful Spring Break with your preschoolers.
We will return to preschool on April 15th. We will begin our Garden Theme, learning all about God's beautiful creation. We will visit and try out our new outdoor classroom (which if you haven't seen, you should check it out during our Easter party tomorrow.)
On our daily news sheet yesterday, you may have seen news about our Spring Festival. Our class will wear white shirts and anything denim as bottoms. For girls, it can be a denim skirt, skort, etc. Boys should wear jeans or denim shorts. Any type of shoe is welcome, except for Crocs! We hope you will enjoy our show this year. The twos are working really hard in music class and our artwork is just beautiful for the show. More news to follow.
We hope you can come to our Easter Party tomorrow at preschool in our classroom. We hope the weather will be nice and we can have our egg hunt in the Memorial Garden (this is to the left of the main entrance to the Church -- just outside of MMO. If for some reason, you cannot come-- we'll see you at Carpool! Enjoy your break, see you the 15th!

Last week we had a lot of fun with frogs! We had counting stories, story time and artwork with our frogs. "Five Little Fishies" counting rhyme came home and our "Five Little Frogs" will come home soon. Miss Elizabeth taught us a song about 5 little frogs on a log. Ask your preschooler if they can sing this song to you. It has a big alligator at the end, so watch out! During circle time, we work as a group to complete our color puzzles, with each child bringing the puzzle piece to the puzzle and naming their colors. I even tricked a couple of them this week and they were quick to correct me with the appropriate color. I say the counting rhyme to them and then they say it with me the next couple of times. Mia was able to repeat the rhyme completely right after I shared it with them. They are all so smart and have learned so much this year. Ms. Beth & I really enjoy this group!
Other notes: We will finish up Movement classes soon and our Easter Party will be lots of fun with an Egg Hunt at preschool. We will make our own bags

for collecting the eggs. More notes to follow and we hope to see you all there!

Music Class: Using pom-poms to make rainbows.

Welcome to Spring! March updates...

Getting ready for Teddy Bear Day in February!

The beginning of March brought our weather theme. Our circle time,storytime, artwork, and music classes have been all about weather. Here, Jackson is making raindrops for his Rainbow Book.

These are our "cloud" pages.

Thank you to Sarah & her Family!

Our group is really enjoying the larger legos that you all donated to our class! Thank you so much.

The children had such fun exchanging Valentines. We did this at circle time. Each child passed theirs out around the circle. It was especially helpful to our new student, to put the names with faces. We matched our bags with our pictures. The children are so patient and good during circle time, they will do great in the 3 year old class next year! We then had storytime and valentine counting, math matching! The children are really catching on with "what's missing?" in our sequencing exercises.
