Director's Corner
``
Welcome to the Director's Corner!
Spring has finally sprung!
Parent Conferences for 3’s and 4’s are this month. Your teachers will announce the week and offer a sign up for a 15 minute phone call.
All of our classes will be learning about the life cycle of a plant and a butterfly. They will all be planting seeds and discussing what plants need to grow. They will soon be observing tiny caterpillars that will grow each day. Once they form a chrysalis, we will move them to their butterfly habitat and watch their magical process. After our butterflies hatch the children will step outside to let them go free.
Every class is also preparing for their very special mommy, by making cards, gifts and learning songs. Don’t ask too many questions about your very special surprise!
Our 4 year olds are winding up the alphabet having spent one week on each letter. They were introduced to the sound, how to form the letter and words and pictures that begin with that sound. You can practice this skill out in the world,”What is that tall thing with leaves? What sound does it start with? What letter makes that sound?”
Our 3’s are becoming much more independent in the classroom by cleaning up more independently, building creative structures and playing with lots of puzzles and games. They are also finishing up their alphabet exploration and are busy counting 1-10. You should ask them who they are playing with because by now they have learned many of their peer’s names.
Our 2’s are getting ready to be in a larger classroom next year with more friends to interact with. Mrs. Rowland is elongating their attention span by having longer activities and circle time and by extending play in small groups.
It is hard to believe we will soon be finishing up another school year. Watch the boards for details of June activities.
Happy Mother's Day to all of our special Mommies!
Regards,
Tricia Taggart
