Hi Butterfly Parents,
Gota quick request… could you please bring in your child’s favorite song by this Friday? We are putting together a fun playlist for Spirit week next week.
Thanks,
Raquel

We all enjoyed celebrating this week! Thank you, thank you for donating all the plants!!

Next week will be Caterpillars to Butterflies.. oooo so fun! One of the fun games planned is “Cocoon”. How to play: one person wraps up the other with toilet paper, moves around and breaks out of the cocoon turning into a beautiful butterfly. This is a great learning experience!

If you have any dress up wings, books, and or DVDs please bring them in on Monday.

Thanks!

This week we will be celebrating Week of the Young Child. This is a nationally recognized week. Please take time to notice all of the quotes around the school. As I wrote them and hung them on the wall I was inspired by them. I hope you will be too! We will celebrate this by playing games and enjoying the perfect weather!

NAEYC first established the Week of the Young Child in 1971, recognizing that the early childhood years (birth through age 8) lay the foundation for children’s success in school and later life. The Week of the Young Child is a time to plan how we–as citizens of a community, of a state, and of a nation–will better meet the needs of all young children and their families.

Looking for a few volunteers to come read to the children next week, April 12-16, time slots are 10:15-10:30/3:45-4:15.

If you have some time and would enjoy this opportunity drop us an e mail indicating the day and time. Thanks!!

This week we learned baby animals have different names from their parents. We compared sizes and textures. We barked, meowed, peeped and wiggled our noses…just to name a few;) The week ended with a serious egg hunt and picnic! The Butterflies were so excited to gather eggs from around the yard, even our younger friends seemed to know exactly what to do!

Next week is Tweet goes the Bird! We’ll answer questions like.. what makes a bird fly? and why do they have feathers? Plus we’ll have a classroom visitor.. you guessed it, Squwaker will make an appearance in each of the classrooms. I know what your thinking… he’s really more like a crab than a bird, but the children will get to see his wings, beak and claws. This activity will be well supervised. We are looking forward to it! If you have anything to share about birds please do!
