NEWSLETTER “Melville Location” April 2013

Dear Parents,

 

St. Patrick’s Day was great fun! The classroom was filled with green! The children had fun decorating the classroom with pots o’ gold, rainbows, shamrocks, and lucky leprechauns. We also enjoyed eating green bagels.

Our focus for the month of April will be on Farm Animals, Spring, 5 senses, and Planting. We will learn how important it is for our earth to have rain for nature to grow. The class will also be using a Lorax felt board to learn about Earth day and pollution.

Our Spring party was great too! The children enjoyed the special egg hunt. Thank you for all of the goodies brought in!

Everyday at circle time the toddlers review numbers, letters, colors and our daily songs. The children are really doing well and they love to do their projects too! They also enjoy doing music, movement and exercise everyday.

Our number & alphabet writing is progressing along wonderfully. The Nursery & Pre-K classes are learning numbers 11 – 15 & letters R-U. They are learning patterns, and more or less. The Pre-K children are also starting a unit on telling time and counting by 2’s. The children love to come up during circle time to write their name and letters.

For our science project this month the class will be making a garden and planting seeds. The children will be practicing using their small motor skills as well as coordination skills by helping the teachers scoop the dirt into their pots to make a plant. The children will be fascinated to see the plants growing in a few weeks. It’s a wonderful experience for them to see that the seeds they have planted turn into plants with the proper care.

As the weather continues to get warmer, the children will be going outside twice a day. Please dress your child appropriately and label ALL items that are brought to the school.

School pictures will be taken on April 15th at 9:00 am. Everyone is welcome to take photos

on that day even if it is not your scheduled day.

We are also practicing for our “End of the Year” concert/graduation. 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. Our graduation will be held on Thursday,

June 13th at 10:00 a.m.

A Reminder: Tuition payments are due on the first and no later than the 10th of the month unless otherwise arranged. Full Tuition price is due each month, there is no price adjustment when your child is absent, school closings or vacations. 

     Thank you for your cooperation. Have a wonderful Month. Happy birthday to all the children born in April! Happy Spring!!

 

Sincerely,

 

Miss Dawn, Miss Melissa & Staff
