Hi Families,

Last week was full of fun. We had visitors,special snacks and some crazy hair! The Busy Bee class did a great job showing their spirit on spirit days. Thanks to everyone that helped make our silent auction successful. The Family breakfast was enjoyed by many and the kids art work was super. If you and your family were able to join us for that, we would love your feedback on the event as we plan for next year. 

This week we continue with our learning about planting and growing. We are going to be planting more seeds, doing a science experiment with water color and celery and if the weather is dry we are going to go on a nature walk around our school. On Thursday and Friday we will be doing a cooking project when we make  “Dirt cups” . We would love some cut flowers to have in our classroom if anybody has an abundance of them in their yard. Reading groups on Monday and Tuesday so be sure the reading group folders are back at school.

Thanks for all of the encouraging words for our school and Busy Bee class as we welcome Teacher Amber to help finish out our year. Please feel free to introduce yourselves to her as she gets to know kids and families.

Our classroom pets seem to be getting used to the noise and bustle of our class. If your family would like to take them home for a weekend, let me know. They are a bit less of a commitment than Lulu was, smaller cage and really no handling.

I will be doing some assessing in the next few weeks as I prepare the spring progress reports that will be sent home the middle of May. If you would like to help out in class so I can do some one on one assessing, that would be great. Just let me know when a good time/day would be for you.

If you know any families interested in our school, please have them call and set up a tour. We still have openings for all classes for the next school year in the Fall. Our best way to fill our classrooms is by your satisfaction in our program and by you letting other families know. We have a great school here and want to be sure we are helping families get good quality early education for their kids. Thanks for being great, supportive parents of our school!
