Hi Families,
Last week-We learned about the life cycle of a Butterfly, with lots of focus on the caterpillar stage. Our classroom caterpillars are all in their Chrysalis stage and we are watching closely for the next change, a butterfly! We are working on some great Mother’s day “surprises” that will be going home at the end of the week to celebrate Mother’s Day.
This week-We continue on with the learning of Butterflies, doing some patterning,counting and writing about butterflies and caterpillars.We are learning a song as well that teaches the life cycle. On the dry days, the bikes/scooters will be out, so send a helmet for your child if they want to ride. The Busy Bee class will walk over to the park by the Arts School on Friday during our playground time 11:00-11:45. Parents are welcome to join us if you like.
I (Teacher Kim) will be out of class this week recovering from knee surgery, but may be in at the end of the week to do some progress report assessments.
Progress reports will be in cubbies to go home the week of May 18th. If you have questions about your child’s kindergarten readiness and would like a short conference to discuss it, please let me know.
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 can be paid to me in the classroom or in the preschool office. As always with field trips, parents are responsible for transportation and supervision of their child.
Gerbils-The classroom pets are in need of some families to take care of them over the weekends for the rest of the school year, we only have 5 more weekends left. They are easy to keep, no handling is required or cage cleaning. The sign up sheet is in the hallway.
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 two weeks of summer camp this July. The first week(13-17) will have the theme of Knights, princesses and dragons! The second week(20-24) will be Super hero week. Registration forms will be going out soon. 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-We are partnering with Art Ala Carte on Saturday May 9th from 9-1. Families can go to Art ala carte and the kids can get messy and creative with all sorts of art mediums and activities. Art Ala carte will donate 50% of sales from 9-1 back to the preschool.
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.
