HAPPY JUNE!!
We hope everyone had a wonderful May! The children had so much fun learning about Mother’s Day, Butterflies / Birds, Flowers, Zoo / Circus. We hope all of the moms had a wonderful Mother’s Day. We look forward to a very fun and exciting June!
This month we will discuss Fish, Frogs, Father’s Day, Plants, and Flag Day, 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”, learning how to write and spell their name, letters, numbers and shapes. We will be working on the letters Xx, Yy, Zz, numbers 70-100, 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! We will be learning colors, patterns, shapes, sounds and seasons.
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 WHITE DOOR (Toddler Class ONLY) This avoids traffic in the hall – Thank you!**
In our Fish Unit we will observe water animals, and describe how they are alike or different. 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 a 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 Flag Day Unit we will read books about the United States Flag and make arts and crafts. It will be so much fun!
The children are preparing for our “End of the Year“ 50’s Theme Concert on Friday, June 14th @ 10am. If you could please bring $15.00 cash in an envelope per child to help cover the cost of the shirts and costumes 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!!
