A special thank you to all of our families that attended our fundraiser this past weekend and supported our school.
This week we are learning about community helpers.
We will be creating shape firetrucks, cutting and pasting a matching activity, and building with play dough and Popsicle sticks.
Wednesday, we will have a visit from the PMT Ambulance. They will be arriving around 9:30am. On Thursday, we are set to visit the fire station behind our school from 10:00-11:00am. If you do not attend school either of these days, you are still welcome to attend either activity.
Friday we will have fun playing "Baker" as we each make our own lemon pie for snack.
Please note that the Mother's Day Tea was moved to Thursday, May 9th at 11:15am. I encourage all mom's and kids to attend the tea whether or not you attend school that day. It is a special day for the kids. Please let me know in advance if you will not be able to make it.
Thanks,
Kelly
Week of April 15th
We will spending the next week learning about pets! What kinds of pets do we have? How can we be responsible pet owners? How do we care for our pet?
We will be playing a animal guessing game, matching food and animals. We will be making yarn puppies and pet rocks. Our math center will have dog treats and number matching.
Please have the children bring in their very favorite stuffed pet on Wednesday and Thursday. They show and share at circle time.
Please remember:
* Bring in your robot this week!! Please spend the time to build with your child and you will see how incredibly proud they will be to show it to their friends. It doesn't have to cost a thing... recycle!! I have seen some pretty amazing robots.. check out the other classes for inspiration!
* Saturday is the silent auction/fundraiser. This is a very important event for our school. Please make sure your donations are in ASAP and get your tickets early. You can win a free week of summer fun!!
* If you want to join us for any of the trainings listed on the calendar.. it will count as your co-op!! Ask me if you have any questions.
Thank you!!

Weeks of April 1st and 8th
We are ready for Springtime! The next couple of weeks we will be all about the changing season.
We will start this week learning about flowers. We are learning that flowers are living things and therefore they need sun, soil, and water to grow. We are learning about why leaves face the sun, that flowers come in different shapes and colors, and why fresh cut flowers eventually wilt. We are going to continue to work on our shape patterns by creating shape birds by tracing, cutting, and pasting. We have been learning about seed to plant and have been excited by seeing all of the changes in the garden. We will be reading The Little Seed by Eric Carle.
Next week we will be learning about the life cycle of a butterfly. We will be exploring each of the four stages through discussion and art. We will be working on our number recognition with ladybugs and catching insects in our sensory tub. Our class will be getting our very own butterfly garden very shortly.
This month I will be changing our dramatic play area into a Veterinarian office as we start to learn about community helpers. If you have any items you think may be fun to use in the "office", please bring them in. Also, I am in need of a couple boxes of small face masks and gloves. Thank you for your help.
I have arranged for PMT Ambulance to talk with the kids on Wednesday, April 24th. The kids will all have a chance to get in the ambulance and see how it all works. Hopefully, this will be their first time in an ambulance. :) It will be lots of fun. Also, I have tentatively scheduled to tour the Fire Station behind our school on Thursday, the 25th. I would appreciate having an extra parent that day as we venture across the parking lot. It is not a field trip that requires all parents. If you do not attend school either day, please know you are welcome to join us for either activity. I will confirm the dates of both as it gets nearer.
Please take a look at the co-op calendar. There are a few days I still need some help this month. Thank you!
