Hi Families,

Hope everyone enjoyed some sunny weather and time doing something fun with your family last week. Once we get past Spring break , we actually only have 10 weeks  of our school year left and we have lots to get done! 

This week is a fun one. Each year when we come back from spring break , we celebrate children with our Week of the young child. We will be having fun snacks, spirit day themes and some visits from a few special guests from our community. Here is the line up for our spirit days. Monday is “Super hero Day”-your child may dress up and wear their favorite super hero

Tuesday is “Silly sock day” - pick out the silliest pair of socks to wear to school. Wednesday is class color day-Our color is green(We have a green door) so bust out all the green you have and wear it to school. Thursday is silly or favorite hat day-everyone wears their hats to school! Friday is crazy hair Day-crazy colors,spikes,mohawks...anything goes on crazy hair day.

 Also happening is our spring Scholastic book fair upstairs by the preschool office. It will be open all week during school times. This a great time to pick up a couple books to tuck in the easter baskets!  We will be holding our silent auction this year during our week of celebration. There are many great gift certificates to bid on , as well as fun baskets filled with great themed items. The kid-made items will be open for bidding on Monday and be closing by Friday at noon. All other auction items will be closing at the Family breakfast and Children's Art show on Saturday morning from 8:00-10:00 AM. The kids have been working on some fun art works for you to see and would love to “Show off” what they’ve done. If you and your family can join us for that, we need to know so we can plan for enough breakfast for all. There is a sign up sheet in the hallway.

Even though all the fun stuff is happening, we still have some learning going on. We are going to be talking about plants and growing. What do plants need? We will learn a song about that and plant some vegetable and flower seeds in different kinds of containers. Reading groups will be Monday and Tuesday, if your Busy Bee still has their folder at home, please send it back.

Remember to keep your ears open for info on the Kindergarten round up that should be happening at the school your Busy Bee will be going to next Fall. Most schools have something in the Spring to get kids signed up and parents information on their school. This is a great way to help your kids transition to the next step. Let me know if you have questions about this that I could help with.

I’m excited to get back to class and hear what everyone did over the break and have some fun celebrating my Busy Bee’s!
