Dora Makes A Surprise Visit

Today was the day to celebrate the end of another school year.  Dora made a surprise visit to the school to greet each of the children and help us have some limbo fun.

How Low Can You Go?

Running under the beam seemed to be the most fun for the little ones.  Dora danced to the beat of the music as the children had their own fun.

There were two craft projects in one classroom.  Children enjoyed scratching their own design into a face mask.  Removing the black wax to reveal a colorful design was a bit different technique than the children are use to.

Children Took A Lot Of Time To Make Their Mask Special.

The second craft choice was to decorate a three dimensional Angel Fish with stickers and markers.  The varieties were amazing.

Hard At Work And Play

Out on the playground children were enjoying water and bubble activities.  It was also nice to be able to enjoy a good weather day.

Chasing Bubbles

Fun At The Water Table

Face and arm painting was a real popular activity for the children.  Thanks to many of our parent volunteers there were several designs to choose from.

A Fashion Statement For The Ladies

All that activity, root beer floats for morning snack and pizza for lunch made this day special.  Our teachers want to thank the many parent helpers who made this day fun for kids and teachers as well.  Happy end of the school year.  Don’t forget about kindergarten graduation and preschool promotion night next Thursday at 7PM.  Cookies and punch will be served after our program.  Anyone can join us that evening.

Learning to Get Along, summer camp begins on June 7th.  There is still time to register your child for the camp.  Weekly character building themes will be presented.  Activities to reinforce appropriate skills will be fun and interesting to the children.  There will be special events and presenters each week.   Children will have opportunity to run under the sprinklers and bring their tricycles to school occasionally.  The teachers are making their plans for a fun and educational summer program.  Hope your child will participate.   Our themes are:

Make New Friends

Listen and Learn

Join In and Play

Know and Follow the Rules

Give Honor Where Honor is Due

Share and Take Turns

Be Polite and Kind

Respect and Take Care of Things

Be Careful and Stay Safe

When I Feel Afraid

Moving Forward

All Stars Work To Clean Up Around Their School

Mrs. Munguia has been teaching her class to participate in taking care of the Earth.  Her class has learned a lot about recycling and why we should do it.  Today the class went outside to put their knowledge into practice.  Donning rubber gloves the eager students collected debris from the school area.   The collected materials were then graphed on a big floor graph in the classroom.  The children were able to tell that plastic was the most collected and glass the least.  They found many things made of paper and discussed that they should reuse paper, so that more trees do not have to be cut down.  (The kid’s are in my office enthusiastically dictating this story).

Mission Accomplished

Mother's Day Brunch on Friday

Our kid’s and Moms had a special treat on Friday.  They had brunch together at school before the days school activities began.  Teachers, children and their Moms had a great time together.  Next invitation will be for Father’s Day.  Can’t wait!

Don’t miss out on a chance for your child to participate in our LEARNING TO GET ALONG summer camp for children three and toilet trained through kindergarten age.  Character development themes are assigned for each week of the eleven week camp.  Large and small group activities are planned for inside and outdoors.  Hope your child can join us for some fun this summer.  Enrollment is being taken at this time.  Please call the school for further information about camp hours and space availability.
