Hi Families,
Last week-The Busy Bee kids had a great week creating some special things for their Moms. I love the questionnaire about their Mom, its always fun to see what the think when asked about Mom. We hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day and enjoyed the gifts!
Last week was also filled with all things Butterfly. Our Caterpillars made the great transformation inside their chrysalis and emerged as amazing Butterflies! They were let go over at the park on Friday and are now out there in the world flying around.
This week-We are moving on to a new learning theme. We will be exploring the Ocean and all the creatures that call it home. This will be our last theme of the school year. To start our learning we are going to make a giant ocean mural in our classroom by painting some paper ocean blue. As the days go by we will add to our ocean, creatures, shells and plants. Another fun project will be the ocean animal reports that the kids will be bringing home. They will choose an animal to learn 3 things about and either draw a picture or find one from the internet or in a book. When they have done their research, they bring it back to school and tell the class at circle time what they learned. These report projects are great for helping kids discover where they can find information about something they want to learn about and how to talk in front of the group. Please let your child take the lead on this and “help” but not “do” the project for them. Thanks in advance for your support of this activity.
Reading groups- We will be finishing up reading groups the last week of May. I would really like to get the most out of the last few weeks, so please help your child by getting the folder back to school so they can get new materials each week.
May Field trip-Our school will be attending a play on Tuesday, May 19th. We will be seeing “Seussiscal Jr.” presented by Journey Theatre. It will be at Fort Vancouver High School at 9:30 Am or 11:45 am. They have given us some seats in the 11:45 show , due to the earlier one selling out. Let us know if the 11:45 time works better for you. Tickets are $6 per person and need to be paid for by Wednesday of this week. As always with field trips, parents are responsible for transportation and supervision of their child.
The theatre group is sending out a few performers from the play on Wednesday this week. They will talk to the kids about the show and also about how to be a good audience during the play.
Family Fun night-There will be one more Family Fun night for the year on May 21st from 5:30-7:00pm. We will be exploring Math and science on this night and will offer lots of hands on activities for the whole family. This is a free event, we hope your family will come join the fun.
Volunteering: Remember that each family is required to do 2 hours of volunteering per child during the school year. If you still need to fulfill your hours you have a few more chances.
We will have a playground clean-up day on Saturday May 16th from 9-11am. We could use help weeding, spreading gravel,trimming bushes, etc. Also, we could use some help with the planning and setup/clean up of our Graduation program in June. Let me know if you are interested in helping with these two events.
Summer Camp-Little Acorn will be offering three weeks of summer camp this year. The first week will be June 15-19th and will be themed “Art Explosion” The next week (July 13-17) will have the theme of Knights, princesses and dragons! The last week(July 20-24) will be Super hero week. Registration forms are out. Camps can fill up quickly, so be sure and get your registration forms in to secure your child’s spot. Let me know if you have any questions.
Fundraisers-Its not to late to grab a few items from the Scentsy fundraiser, watch for the table upstairs to try out some scents and see what is available.
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.
