4 year old classes

  


Our 4 year old’s have been learning about life cycles.  They planted bean seeds and now know the parts of a plant and what is needed to make plants grow.  After the plants are sturdy, the children will take them home put in their gardens. Hopefully you will have delicious green beans to taste!  Please forward any photos to us. The children are also learning about the life cycle of the butterfly. They are observing tiny caterpillars that are growing 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. They will also be creating the process through a multi day art project to bring home.

We are winding up our alphabet adventure having spent one week on each letter all year long. The children have been introduced to the sound, how to form the letter and words and pictures that begin with that sound.  We will culminate this curriculum with our Alphabet Olympics run by our Gym teachers Mrs. Verdi and Mrs. McKeever.  All of our 4 year old classes will gather in the Gym, each class will be a different color team. The teams will participate in an Opening Ceremony, many alphabet activities and will end with our Closing Parade outside for our parents; details to follow. 

The children are also getting ready for our Mother’s Day celebration in the classrooms on Friday May 6^th.  You should have received an invitation already. We are talking about Mary the mother of Jesus and learning the Hail Mary prayer.

Parent Conferences will be held this month.  Your child's teacher will contact you for a 15 minute conference.  The Progress Report and work samples will be sent home for your review.

Your child should now be registered for Kindergarten through your school district.  Please call the office with any questions.
