Can it be true? Has spring finally come? I think it has!!! YEA!!!!!!! I love seeing the new life that springs forth from nature every springtime. God is so AWESOME!
Thank you all so much for being patient and kind to me as I "get back in the saddle" of a normal routine after the passing of my mother. I appreciate your love and support as I find my bearings again:)
The Caterpillars are Here!!!
Once again, we welcome the Painted Lady caterpillars into our classroom. We are studying about the process of the butterfly's life cycle. Starting week 3, these little guest aren't so little anymore! Eating, eating, eating...they are getting very plump! In a week or so they will build their chrysalis and we will move them into our butterfly habitat. After they hatch, our class will keep them for about a week and then set them free.
Please take a look around in our hallway (as well as your child's folder) and you find evidence of your very smart children learning lots of things about spring!
Community Helper of the month of April:
K-9 police officers and their policeman handlers! On Wednesday April 17th, Officer Tim Hansel of the Newark Police Dept. along with Bear, his K-9 partner, will visit our classroom to talk about their role as our community helpers. The children are so excited to meet Officer Bear, oh yes...and Officer Hansel as well :)
