Dear Parents,
Wow! What an exciting and busy month May was. We hope all the moms had a wonderful Mother’s Day. The children learned about butterflies and birds and pretended they were animals at the zoo and circus. They learned new circus songs and are finishing their alphabet books too.
This month we will discuss about Fish, Frogs, Father’s Day, Plants, Flag Day and Disney, we are excited about summer and have a lot of fun things planned. Our Summer Camp Calendar will be out by July 1st.
The Nursery and Preschool Classes will be working on poems, Holiday 
themed artwork, new songs, writing skills with “Handwriting Without Tears”. They continue to learn how to write and spell their name, letters, numbers and shapes. We will be working on the letters Xx, Yy, Zz, numbers 0-20, colors, patterns, months, seasons. The children also enjoy doing music, movement and exercise everyday. They are really doing well and love to do their projects too! Please check their folders for work and please review every night.
Everyday at circle time the Toddler Class will continue name Recognition, Shapes, Numbers, Colors and Alphabet Recognition. The children also enjoy doing music, movement and exercise everyday. They are really doing well and love to do their projects too! **TODDLERS will be picked up at the WHITE DOOR (Miss Erika’s class ONLY) This avoids traffic in the hall – Thank you!**
In our Fish Unit we will observe water animals, we will describe how they are alike or different and the ways they look and the things they do. We will read books, look at pictures, draw, color and paint the many different kinds of fish.
For our Frog Unit we will introduce the stages of a frogs life cycle and we will see the difference between toads and frogs. We will do many art projects about the different stages of frogs life.
In our Father’s Day Unit we will discuss the special daddy’s, 
uncle’s, grandpa’s, and men in our life and why we honor and thank them. We will be making a special project for them too.
In our Plant Unit we will also discuss how seeds sprout and grow and the different stages of a plant. We will learn about the different parts of a plant and make many art projects about the different flowers.
For our Disney Unit we will read books and make arts and crafts and it will be so much fun!
The children are prepared for our “end of the year“ concert on Thursday, June 11th at 10am. If you could please bring $15.00 cash in an envelope per child to help cover the cost of the shirts and costumes for graduation as soon as possible.
Parents and guests should arrive at the child care no later than 9:45 a.m. Please enter through the playground gate and a teacher will be there to greet you and will be handing out the programs. 
After you receive your program please find a seat and wait for the concert to begin. We ask you to please go directly to your seats and not to enter the child care to see your child because this may distract the children and they may get upset. We want this to be a fun event for everyone, so if your child gets upset at any point during the concert one of the teachers will walk your child over to you so they can feel comfortable participating in the concert with their parent/parents from your seat. If you are unable to attend the concert and your child needs special attention we have designated teachers to care for your child/children. Please, don’t be discouraged if your child/children doesn’t want to participate. Remember they are young and we don’t want to pressure them into doing something that they don’t feel comfortable about. We are here to have a great time and enjoy the concert. Immediately following the concert there will be refreshments for everyone to enjoy. We hope you have a wonderful time and enjoy the show!!
