Hi Families,

This is it, last newsletter of the school year. Thank you so much for reading this each week and for supporting your Busy Bee and our school. The kids have been working hard to put on our play “The very Hungry Caterpillar” for you at Graduation this week. Here is the run down for the week so everyone knows the plan:

Monday-regular class day for those who come to class this day.

Tuesday-Regular drop off time for all Classes. All morning class kids come, even if its not their normal day. Kids can dress in a nice outfit. Come back and meet us upstairs in Jason Lee Hall for Graduation, AM @10:30/PM @1:30. Class dismissed after Graduation.

Wednesday-Regular class day for those who come this day . The kids will help “Clean” the classroom and the toys and then we will enjoy some ice cream sundaes together.

Thursday-Meet at 10:00 @ Felida park for the all school end of the year picnic. The school provides hotdogs and then the rest of the food is potluck style. Please sign up to bring something. Picnic ends at 1:00 

That is the end of our school year. We would love for you to sign up for a summer camp. I will be teaching in a classroom and we have some very fun activities planned. Summer camp is open to any kids, even if they are not attending LAPSK now, so share the info with friends!

    Please remember to take all of your childs belongings from the hallway, helmets and jackets and everything in cubbies on your child’s last day in the classroom.    

I feel very honored to have been given a chance to be part of your child’s preschool adventure and will hold a bit of each of them in my heart as they move on to big kid school. Please come back to visit anytime, I love to see kids after they have been in class with me and see how much they have grown! You are amazing parents and families and I will miss you.

                Enjoy your summer

Hi Families,

What a fun time we had at the park last week! The kids had a great time and the weather was just perfect. Good thing the end of school is close or other wise the kids would be asking to go there ever week for play time.

    Playground clean up was done on Saturday morning. It is looking very neat and tidy and with the new load of gravel we should be all set for the rest of school and summer camp too. Thank you to the few parents that came out to help, we really cant do these things without you! 

Here we are in our last full week of class. We will be practicing our “Hungry Caterpillar” play and talking about Graduation. We will be doing a bunch of fun activities in class and finishing up our portfolios. Friday was the last day to borrow books from the classroom bookshelf. If your child still has a book at home in their book bag, please return it to class this week. Also if they still have reading group materials at home, those should be returned as well. When kids turn in all reading group stuff, we will send the folder back home with some summer homework. These papers are just for you to help keep some learning going on over the summer break. They may keep the folder too. The “All about me” posters came home last week for you and your Busy Bee to work on and return to school by Friday the 13 of June. These will be up at graduation, so please get those back to school.

This will be the last week for bikes outside , please take helmets home on your child’s last day. Also be sure and check the lost and found table upstairs for any lost items this year. Any unclaimed jackets hanging in the hall will go up on the table Tuesday AM.

Graduation is next Tuesday, June 17th at 10:30 for the AM class and 1;30 for Afternoon. We are very excited to finally get to this day, the kids have been counting down. Plan on getting here a few minutes before and meeting us upstairs in Jason Lee Hall. We will come up and do some preforming for you, hand out diplomas and then the kids will join you at the table for snacks and a look at their portfolios while we watch the end of the year slideshow. 

The summer weather seems to be here and with that comes lots of dresses and skirts for the girls. We would like them to wear something under their dresses, like shorts or bike shorts. Kids at this age have very active play. When they get to big kid school this will also be required as they take PE class and play at recess. Thanks for your cooperation.

         All school picnic: LAPSK annual end of the year picnic will be on June 19th from 10:00-1:30 at Felida Park. All classes are welcome to come together and celebrate a great year! The school will provide hot dogs and we will be putting out a sign up sheet for other potluck items soon. We hope you and your family can join us to say good-bye.

LAPSK will be offering Kindergarten for the 2014-2015 school year next Fall!. Please consider this option for your child or let friends know about our great school. It is a small class(15 kids max) and 2 teachers, teaching a regular kindergarten curriculum in a half day setting. This is a great choice for any child but can be a great option for those not quite ready for full days. Let me know if you have more questions about it or I can help you with deciding what is best for your child. Thanks for spreading the word about our great school!

Did you know Little Acorn Preschool has a face book page? Look for the school page and “like” it and enjoy some great posts about all that is happening here at our school. We are also finding that Face book is a nice way to spread the word about the positive experiences families are having here and that is getting others interested in checking out our school. Thank you for all of your support, we couldn’t be so awesome without families like yours!

Summer is coming and so are the great summer camps here at Little Acorn. This year we are offering two weeks of  camp. July 14-18 and 21-25. We are having some fun themes and will be doing tons of water activities,crafts and social play. Disney, Legos, Dinosaurs and Pirates and Princesses are the themes this year.This is a great way to be sure kids aren’t getting bored and to give you some free time to yourself.Teacher Denise and I will each have a classroom going on, so talk to other parents and sign up for a week so your kids can have one more chance to be with friends and have some fun here at LAPSK .Sign up soon , as classes can fill up quickly. We look forward to seeing you!

      Be sure and let me know if you have questions or concerns about anything happening here at school, my door is always open to you. Thanks for choosing LAPS for your family’s early learning experience.

Hi Families,

Our Math and Science family fun friday night was a great time for everyone able to come. Watching parents and kids exploring math and science activities and enjoying hanging out together was just perfect! 

I cant believe we are here in June, with only a few weeks left in our school year. Last week we finished up our learning about the Ocean and its creatures. This week we are going to be working on finishing up the portfolios the kids have been saving work in all year long. They will be ready to take home at Graduation. We have been talking about what Graduation is and why we have it , so we will have some more conversations about that. We are also going to be doing a play at Graduation based on the book “The Hungry Caterpillar”. We will be painting some props and backgrounds for that and practicing how to preform the play. 

This is the last week for reading groups. Please send back to school all materials in the reading groups folder after your child completes their homework this week. When all materials are returned your child will get a certificate and a treat for their hard work at reading groups. We will also be sending  back home their folders with some summer homework pages.

On Thursday and Friday this week we will be walking over to Shumway park for our outside playtime. We will switch our playtime to the last part of the day, going to the park from 11 to 11:30 in the morning classes. Remember to sunscreen up your kiddos this week too.

The summer weather seems to be here and with that comes lots of dresses and skirts for the girls. We would like them to wear something under their dresses, like shorts or bike shorts.

Graduation will be one day only, Tuesday June 17th. The morning class will be at 10:30 AM . If this is not your child’s regular day please plan on them coming to school this day. The Afternoon class will have Graduation at 1:30. There is a sign up sheet to send a food item and the school will provide the cake and punch. Thanks in advance for helping us make this day special for our Busy Bee’s. We will need some help with set up/clean up if you still need volunteer hours this would be a great time to complete them.

Playground clean up day is coming this Saturday June 7th. We will be doing several projects that we could use some parent volunteer help with. We’ll be painting,pulling weeds,spreading pea gravel and trimming bushes. This is a great time to finish up the required 2 hours per child volunteering commitment for the school year. Or just come help out and hang out with some super fun and very cool teachers who love Little Acorn preschool!
