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.
