Hello, Families!
June is upon us! We are excited to start our summer! Summer will give us time to enjoy some water play activities and other special outdoor/ summer events. Our learning never stops. We will stay hard at work as we continue to learn through play. We will be saying good-bye to some friends for the summer. We are also going to be saying hello to some others who will be joining us for the summer. It is good to see old friends again!
May was a very busy time at our school. We had a great time with our moms when we enjoyed our Muffins with Moms. All of our classrooms had caterpillars that turned into butterflies. The children enjoyed releasing the butterflies! Our Trike-a-thon was a fun day. It was a cloudy day, but fortunately the rain held off and we were able to practice our biking skills. Our Pre-K classrooms had graduation. We had many warm days that we were able to enjoy our outdoor times.
We have many special days planned for June. Be sure you are looking at the calendar of events to know what is happening.
Stay cool!
