   Happy May!  We started the month of May with a May Day celebration.  We danced around the maypole and had a tea party with all our friends, including the stuffed animals!
   Cinco de Mayo was great!  Be sure to see all the pics on Facebook.  We wish all mothers a Happy Mother's Day! 
    Talent Time was fantastic.  Our class really did terrific as they danced to "The Twist".  Several of the students also did songs.  Wow, what stars they are!

We're looking forward to the spring weather, which should be here soon.  On Wednesday, April 10th, we will be having our Spring Time Assembly and "I Can".  Later this month is one of my favorite school events, Hobby and Collection Week. It lasts from April 15th - April 19th.  We are looking forward to seeing all the children's hobbies and collections!  Also each week Ms. Simone presents Spanish and some fun activities! Our Easter Egg Hunt was a huge success followed by a little Easter party!  Please follow us on our Facebook page.  There are a lot of fun pictures of our kids.

                                                        Happy Spring!

March is finally here!  Spring is right around the corner!  Hopefully winter's cold is almost gone!  We had fun in February learning about "Heart Health".  We learned about exercising and eating the right foods, all great ways of taking care of our heart.  We also enjoyed the 100th Day of School celebration with the primary classes.  We joined in  fun counting activities and had 100th Day yummy treats.  This month is going to be very busy!  We are starting out the month by celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday during Dr. Seuss Week!  We will even have a visit from "The Cat In The Hat!"   Next we'll have Wacky Wednesday, which is always lots of fun, Spanish with Ms. Simone, our St. Patrick's Day and "I Can" Assembly, Music Enrichment with Ms. Rose, our Safety Kid Assembly, and last but not least, our Easter party! Wow, are we going to be busy!  Please don't forget that there will be no school on Friday, March 29, 2013.  We will be off for Good Friday.

What a busy month! We discussed our 5 senses and experienced smelling and tasting different foods.  We also enjoyed "Pajama Day." The children had fun wearing their warm and cozy pajamas to school and hearing stories about hibernation.  At the "Special Persons Assembly and Martin Luther King Program", the children did a wonderful job joining with the E3 class to honor Dr. Martin Luther King. 
      February is filled with many fun activities.  We celebrated Chinese New Year on February 5th, and Miss Simone taught about the Chinese customs and special activities that happen.  We will also be having our "President's Day and I Can Assembly".  We are looking forward to watching Bella and Mohasin do their special "I Can" during assembly.  Please watch for our Valentine's letter including a class list for the Valentine's Day card exchange.  We have also requested a few items to help with our annual Valentine's Day class parties on February 14th. 
     Please note that our school will be closed in observance of Presidents' Day, Monday, February 18, 2013.  Have a great Valentine's Day from all your "little ones".

                                                                    Thank You!

Our E2 and E3 classes studied the five senses today. We smelled, tasted, saw, heard, and touched many different things. The fun take away...none of them appreciated the smell of vanilla extract! 

Welcome back to all our families! We hop you had a safe and happy holiday.  Winter has arrived! The cold weather is upon us, so please make sure your child is dressed appropriately, sneakers, sweater, and of course, hats and gloves. We do try to go outside as often as possible. 
  This month we will be discussing our 5 senses and having a tasting, smelling, hearing, seeing, and touching experience through special activities. We are sure this will prove to be fun filled and exciting.
  Hibernation is another fun subject we will be learning about.  The children will learn about sleeping the winter away and follow that up with Pajama Day at the end of the month.
  Let's all stay warm and cozy together!  Brrrrrrrr!!!
