Busy Bee Newsletter For April 20-24

Hi Families,
Last week-It was a busy crazy week, we had great guests come talk to the kids. We had fun yummy snacks and got back to work on our planting/springtime theme. 
We want to say a big thanks to you Busy Bee families for supporting the Auction/dinner at Big lAs. It was a fun night with lots of food,drink and bidding on some great auction items. We would love to hear feedback about the event and any suggestions to make it even better for next year.
This week-We will be wrapping up our spring theme with some earth day projects and talking about taking care of the planet. We’ll have our cooking project for the month on Thursday and Friday, when we make edible “cups of dirt”. The kids have been watching their seeds grow and we will be sending those home for planting in the ground. We will also walk across the street to Kindred to sing to the Grandmas and Grandpas on Wednesday.
We will be continuing the lose change drive for Childhood cancer research this week. We would love to fill our bucket with change so have the kids bring in those pennies!
Reading groups- Our group reading time is going good. The kids are excited for the chance to take home their folders and “read” to you at home. Please remember that every child progresses at their own speed. These reading groups are an intro to what to expect in Kindergarten. We want to get a good positive feeling about reading and so we want to encourage any progress. Thank you for helping get materials back to school each week, thats a huge help.
May Field trip-Our school will be attending a play on May 19th. We will be seeing “Seussiscal Jr.” presented by Journey Theatre. It will be at Fort Vancouver High School at 9:30 Am. As always with field trips, parents are responsible for transportation and supervision of their child. Watch for a sign up sheet to let us know if you/your Busy Bee will be joining us.If this is not your child’s regular day to come to school, you are still welcomed and encouraged to come. There will be no class that day.
Kindergarten orientation-As we roll into spring , be aware of when the Kindergarten orientation is for the school your child will attend in the Fall. Most schools have one in April/May to get families ready for what to expect and give the kids a chance to see the big kid school and gain some familiarity with the building/staff. You can contact the school or check the districts website for date/times. Let me know if you have any questions about this next step in your child’s learning experience.
Volunteering: If you would like to volunteer in class and come see what your Busy Bee is doing, we would love to have you. I usually have some easy task that needs done, repairing books or prepping for upcoming activities. Your time in class is very helpful and you get a chance to see what our day is like and how your child is interacting. There is a sign up sheet in the hallway for dates/times.  Remember that each family is required to do 2 hours of volunteering per child during the school year.
Contact info: Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. I am fine with a text or a call or you can email. I am here to help you and your child have a great school year and feel honored that you have chosen us for your family’s preschool experience.
