Spring has finally appeared!

Hello

Happy Mother's Day!  I hope you had a restful weekend ;)  I also hope you now understand why your children were coming home with green feet:)

This month, we will continue on our Kindergarten prep.  All of the students will be signing-in every day.  Please remember that we are all at different stages in our writing development and as such we need to take care when assisting the kids.  Encouraging words, high-fives and hugs are always welcome.  It is always a joy when you see a child realize that they have mastered a letter or word.  I also have the privilege of seeing my little guys that I had as three year olds last year now just writing their names like it is common practice as they get ready for Kindergarten.  I thank you for sharing this milestone with me.

Show and Share has been a hit.  I love how they are bringing in things that mean something special to them.  We have had everything from tap shoes to a lady bug in a jar.  Take Home Teddy Bears are doing their second rounds.  Please return the very next class as the year end is fast approaching and I would like every child to have another turn with their bear.

We will be going to Wallish Greenhouse on May 14/15.  They have been generous enough to share their time, resources and knowledge with us.

A reminder that I would like to take the children out time and weather permitting.  Please ensure they are dressed appropriately.  We will only ever be out for about fifteen minutes, so please apply sunscreen before class.

Enjoy the sun!
