Dear Parents,
I sure hope that when you read this Spring has sprung! As June approaches, I am acutely aware of the time that has passed since September. June hurtles towards us and there is still so much to teach, so much to learn, and so much to do.
Ms. Alex and Ms. Kendall continue helping our youngest with the exciting process of learning. Our two’s have grown and matured at an impressive rate. This month they will introduce the children to the colors all around us! They will explore color through food, animals, textures, and lots of books.
The three-year-old classes will be introduced to Eric Carle, the celebrated children’s author. His books are delightful, and the children will enjoy not only his emotional characters, but also his colorful and crafty illustrative techniques. Lots of cooking this month, thanks to Walter the baker.
Our four classes will study Dr. Seuss and his zany characters. The Cat in the Hat and all of his friends—Thigwick, Bartholomew Cubbins, Horton and Yertle become our vehicles for learning. Rhymes, math, crafts, and songs all focus on the Seuss themes during these last days. It all ends with the notorious Breakfast at Beach Manor featuring Green Eggs and Ham (of course)! The children have a grand time with all of this while an incredible amount of learning takes place.
The Pre-K classes will hit the trail and learn about horses. This is an exciting unit for the children, complete with pony rides and a cookout around the campfire (pretend of course!).
Ms. Yesalusky’s Kindergarten class will go around the world. It’s a full month’s trip, as we learn about children in other countries. The emphasis of study is the dress, food, homes, and customs of countries in Europe, Africa, and Asia. If any of you have traveled and can share pictures or items with the class, please call me or your child’s teacher.
May 23td is Conference Day. I will send home the conference schedule later. School is closed while you discover what wonderful children you have. And they really are wonderful!
We’ve begun the tedious process of updating the Parent Handbook and roster for next year. If you plan on returning and haven’t told us, better do it soon. We have sent out information on the summer programs at Bellamy, Broad Bay, Beach, and Greenbrier. If you missed it and are interested, talk to Leigh and Kristen.
Sincerely, Leigh

Reminder: As the weather gets warmer, the children are spending much more time on the playground in the afternoon. Please enter the school through the front door rather than the playground. If your child is a full day student, please remember to sign your child in and out. Thanks!
