Wrapping up the School Year...







Celebrating Earth Day - God's Creation











I still feel so new to this blogging,I apologize for the pictures being out of order. This is something, the children could fix in a second!

The month of April...

During the month of April, we read and talked about caterpillars, butterflies,insects, and Spring. We read, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle. We continued counting, sequencing, and used our artwork for the lesson plans. Coincidentally, Ms. Beth (our own Dr. Doolittle) found a caterpillar on the playground. We brought it in for the children to have a closer look! They loved watching it up close! We ended the month with Earth Day, where we made a globe with our hands, talked about God's creation of the Earth, and made green & blue playdoh balls shaped like the Earth. The children also passed around a globe. Many of them did not know what this was, or that this is where we live. They had fun on Earth Day!
We also counted "5 Little Frogs", made some beautiful umbrellas for our classroom, and enjoyed learning our Music/Songs for Song fest. It was a busy, busy, month and we had lots of fun. Enjoy the pictures to follow!

Lots of new photos coming tonight...

I am so sorry, but my computer is having problems. I will get the photos on tonight. Sorry for the long delay!

End of the Year Notes!

Wow! I can't believe how quickly this school year has gone by! We have had lots of fun in our Two's Class this year. I hope to have some new pictures on the site today and have some notes for our last classes.
We have two more birthdays to celebrate here in the month of May. Jordan's is May 9th and Jackson's is May 25th. We will celebrate their special days in class before our last day.
We are having fun learning our songs and getting ready for our Songfest. You can help prepare your child for this moment by telling him or her what is going to happen, and let them know how excited you are about coming to school and watching the class perform. I'll let you know where we'll be standing once we've had a rehearsal with the rest of the group.
Don't forget to plan for May 8th. We will be singing on the stage in the Great Hall with all of the other classes at preschool. Look for important notices to come home (some have already come home) regarding the times, etc.
Our group is wearing white tops with denim bottoms. Be sure to bring your cameras.

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.
