Hello Delightful Preschool Parents!
I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful and sun-shiny weather! Love it! I hope that Easter proved to be a joyful time for everyone. As we journey through the Easter season, we are celebrating NEW LIFE that Christ brings us and that we see during the emergence of spring.
NEW FRIENDS in OUR CLASS!
With the thought of spring and new life, I encourage you to ask your children about the state of our NEW FRIENDS...PAINTED LADY CATERPILLARS! Our fuzzy little friends will turn into Painted Lady Butterflies! Right now, they are in their "eating themselves silly" stage. The children are so excited as they experience the metamorphasis they are undergoing.
SPRINGTIME Walks!
All of the classes are taking our Springtime Walks to see God's wonderful spring creations.
We are emphasizing the proper science terms like "buds" instead of flowers. Your wonderful children are such observant and aware of all the spring changes.
Dress Code Reminder:
I just want to remind moms and dads that we do lots of projects at the art station. Sometimes we use some really messy media. Usually the media is washable but I encourage you to dress your students in clothes that are okay to get a bit messy even though we use art shirts.
We are also going outside much more during our Gross Motor time so please dress them for the weather as well as in articles that are safe to have grass stains and dirt marks.
Also, for the GIRLS in our classes, please have your young little lady wear shorts or leggings under her dresses or skirts. At our circle time, when the girls sit "criss-cross applesauce" wearing shorts ensures proper modesty.
PICK-UP POLICY regarding going home with friends:
When you arrange for your child to go home with a school friend, I MUST have a note stating who is going where. Word of mouth is not sufficient. Because our students are so little, we can not always rely on their interpretation of the plans. If I do not have a note, I will not release your child to the other parent he or she wants to go home with. This is a safety policy and I must insist on the complience of this policy. I appreciate your cooperation and understanding of this issue. I love your children and their safety is of the utmost importance to me.
OUR SPRING THEME:
We are continuing to explore spring bugs, animals, plants, and weather. I am encouraging all classes to really start using their senses while observing God's Springtime World.
God bless all of your families!
Mrs. Burd and Mrs. Bloom
"As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD!"
