Hello Parents!

April was filled with many events and activities, making cherry blossoms and other spring crafts.  The children were proud and excited to show you some of their favorite work at the parent-child visit. It was great for me to step back and observe their choices and the concentration on their faces. This time of the year is also so exciting because the kindergartens visit the toddler classrooms to read, some of whom are siblings!

We visited the chicks in Ms. Anne’s classroom. The children were very gentle while touching and holding the chicks.

We are enjoying every minute of our recess on our beautiful play deck. But there is limited shade, so to protect the children from the sun please apply sunscreen before school, and a hat would also be helpful.

The children have grown during the long winter months and are getting used to their new bodies, so they may have difficulties with coordination. To help prevent falls, please dress your children in comfortable clothes and most importantly, comfortable shoes for running around at recess.

The children engage in multistep work like salt grinding, the Pink Tower, and washing/polishing the leaves of the many plants in our classroom. These extensions are essential in further developing concentration.
