Dear Parents,

Can you believe the school year is coming to an end?  I sure can not!  I give you back your child, the same child that you entrusted to me in the Fall.  I give you your child back a little bit older, a little bit taller and whole lot smarter!  It has been my privilege and pleasure to watch them blossom and learn this year (for some two years:-).  This year we have laughed, learned and loved.  We have become like a family.  Thank you for sharing your child with me this school year!

Our last Community Time of the school year.


Community time is an an activity that we loved this year.  We looked forward to being with our "families" and all the activities we did throughout the school year.  For our final activity, each child received a Holy Child beach ball that their family members could sign.

To say that I am proud of the kiddos is an understatement.  

The children worked so hard and had so much fun learning about baby chicks.

We were so grateful to be part of his anniversary.

We also celebrated his sister Scarlett who's "magic cells" helped to make Kaleo strong and healthy.

April 29th - May 3rd

As you may have heard, Farmer Gabe came to school on Tuesday to drop off our eggs and we are taking good care of them.  Because we are sharing what we did and learned regarding the eggs at the EC celebration,  I will not be blogging a whole lot about them.  We can't wait to share all we have learned at the Early Childhood Celebration on May 15th!



**Please be on the look out for more information regarding the celebration!

In STEAM this week we used various shaped wands to blow bubbles to see if the bubbles still would be round.  No matter what the shape, the bubble was still round!

We were invited by first grade to watch their presentation about community workers.  It was so fun and they did an awesome job!  We learned about trash men, bakers, scientists and personal trainers.
