We’re so glad that warmer days have started again. We can see how much more energetic and full of life everyone is! We have fun outdoorsy activities planned for you all.

APRIL 

Letters R & S, #’s 40-50, 3 R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle 

Keeping the Earth green is important and fun to learn about. Our activities for this month will have a STEM focus. Please bring-in recyclable materials throughout the month for students to use on projects! 
*** REMINDERS ***

– Students need a water bottle each day (hydration is so important! Especially since they are very active throughout the day). Please take them home to wash at least twice a week if not daily. 

– As days get warmer, dress the students more lightly so they can play outside comfortably. Switch out the clothes in their cubby also.

– Students should have sunscreen applied before they come to class. We will reapply it as needed.

– Small group hours have been changed from PM to AM to accommodate the families that pick-up early & drop-off late. We will pass out a copy of the new schedule 🙂 

– Please sign students in/out before coming into the classroom. Be in class before 9:20AM if students need morning snack.

Each student can have up to three guests. We will have a food sign-up sheet please fill it out by 04/23.

We will meet up in the classroom and walk over to the field together.

We ask that if you plan on attending, you bring a picnic blanket for your family/friends to use. Tables and chairs will not be available for dining.
