The next couple of weeks will be all about Arizona and rodeos as we look forward to the annual SUMC My Partner and Me Rodeo. This is a long-standing tradition at SUMC Preschool. The rodeo will be Saturday, February 2nd at 9:00am. Be prepared to enjoy breakfast and cowboy fun with your little one.
In preparation for the rodeo, we will learn all about the wild west. We will talk about the 5 C's of Arizona. It will be all about climate, copper, citrus, cattle, and cotton. The kids will be tracing and cutting saguaro cactus, cleaning copper pennies, and juicing lots of citrus. We will be talking about all of the great things Arizona has to offer. We will also learn all about cowboys and the rodeo. What do cowboys do, wear, eat? We will be getting ready for the Parada del Sol Parade and our own rodeo by sanding and painting our very own stick horses.
I will need each child to bring in a pair of adult size socks. Bright, colorful socks would be great. Also, if you have any old fabric at home (plaids, denims, bandannas), I would gladly take it off your hands to use for our cowboys.
Please remember preschool registration for the 2013-2014 year starts next Monday, Jan 28th. It will open to the public the following week.
Thanks,
Kelly
