Hello Wonderful Preschool Moms and Dads!
We are proud to announce 2 of our chrysalises hatched a early Friday morning! After discussion in our afternoon class, Shamus Sutton suggested the name of "Flash" & "Dash" since they were the first to hatch. So introducing....... Flash and Dash....our 2 new Painted Lady butterflies. Please don't ask me to tell the difference!hahaha! Thanks to Shamus for those great names:)
I usually post blogs at home since the school day is very busy. After trying to post 3 or 4 times without success, my dear husband found a Trojan virus on our home PC. (big sigh!) I finally have had the opportunity tonight to write this post from my school computer. I am very sorry for the delay on this week's post.
SEALS visit the Bookmobile on Tuesday!
The Seals class got the opportunity to visit our city's BookMobile. I wish I could have captured their little faces when they got on the "big bus" and saw it carried books and not kids! The mobile librarians talked about what the bookmobile does and where it goes. The children then each picked out a book for us to have in our classroom for a few weeks. They even decided to keep the books in our "after snack" book tub for ALL classes to share. What sweet little people!SEALS had their Mother's Day Tea on Thursday:
Today (Thursday) the Seals class hosted their moms for a tea time. I think everyone enjoyed the tea (or punch) and treats. The children did a marvelous job serving their moms and singing too!
***PENGUINS and POLAR BEARS will host their Tea Time with Mom on FRIDAY!
Penguins will have their time from 10:30-11:00 and Polar Bears will have theirs from 2-2:30.
"Last Day of School" Bike Day:
As we near our last day of school, just a reminder that each child is invited to bring his/her bike to school for a bike day. Please remember that, due to safety regulations, each child MUST have a helmet while they ride their bike.I will send more information out to you on hardcopy as the day draws a bit closer.
A writing reminder:
I wanted to remind moms and dads that when your little scholar practices their writing at home, please encourage capitalizing the first letter only and lowercase the rest. For example: J-a-c-k. At school, we teach the children that the only uppercase letter in their name is the first. For consistency sakes, please encourage your child to write in this manner. Thank you so much for your cooperation. We appreciate all that you do.Theme for the Week:
Your child may be doing the Dino Pokey or maybe even wanting to play Dino-Tag. Or....maybe they are talking about finding fossils in swamps and tar pits! If so, WONDERFUL! Our theme is Dinosaurs this week. Lots of great things coming from your precious children. Some of the classes have created swamps, fossil impressions, even naming their OWN dinosaur species!"Special Me" for next week is.....
Sebastian Gartside! (Polar Bears)Concluding Thoughts:
As the week winds down, Mrs. Bloom and I want to wish all mothers and grandmothers a very happy and special Mother's Day. Motherhood is such a blessed vocation Thank you to all of the mothers for saying "Yes" to God for accepting this selfless vocation. We appreciate that you share your little gems with us on a daily basis. God bless you all and have a super rest of the week and weekend. Enjoy your families!
Yours in Education,
Mrs. Burd & Mrs. Bloom
