Hello Everyone, Parents, Guardians, Children, Family, and Friends!
April Showers Bring May Flowers- Spring is here!
Have a very Happy Mother's Day to all Mom's!!
The children are so excited that spring has sprung. They are so thrilled to be able to wear their spring attire and to play outside in the sunshine and fresh air. We are amazed at the growth our preschool children are displaying in all areas of their development. The children are having fun with their friends that they have made at nursery school and are proud of their learning accomplishments. We are going to enjoy and cherish our last couple of months of school together. We will get together with the other classes and teachers to sing songs, explore outdoors, and read stories. We will be going on a field trip to Morning Sound Farm. With our 4's we will Celebrate Graduation into Kindergarten.
Have a very Happy Mother's Day to all Mom's!!
Remember to read your child's teachers white board for brief info on daily activities.
