Word Wall

This week you can bring any item in that you would like and we will talk about the letter that it starts with.

This Week in the Sunshine Class

We will be playing with flubber and clay this week. We might even make some clean mud. We will only be creating art that can be taken home the day it’s made. We will also be having a “toy wash”. We will fill the sensory table up with Water and the children can help clean our toys. It’s amazing how much they love to help do this. We will also be having Ice Cream Sundaes for snack this week to celebrate the year together. If it’s nice we will do this on the Church’s front lawn.

A note from the teacher

Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for the gift cards, Marissa & I were both amazed and surprised! It was very thoughtful for you to all go together. We were truly blown away by it, thank you again!

The End of the Year Picnics are this Thursday & Friday June 11th & 12th at 9:30- 11:30 for the morning class and 12:30 – 2:30 for the afternoon classes. It is held at Felida Park in Hazel Dell, I will email a MapQuest link for directions.

Class Books
We seem to be missing some book bag books, so if you have any hiding in your house it would be great if you could bring them back by this week.

A note from the teacher

It’s Playground Clean Up Day!! This Saturday May 30th from 9:00 to 11:00, you can help clean up our playground. If you haven’t put in your hour worth of volunteer work or even if you have it’s a great way to help your school community.

The End of the Year Picnic will be the last two days of school, June 11th & 12th at 9:30- 11:30 for the morning class and 12:30 – 2:30 for the afternoon classes. It is held at Felida Park in Hazel Dell. (Maps to come) There is a sign-up for both days, so if you come on both days we ask that you sign up for both days. Ideally it would be great if you could bring enough for everyone in our class plus an adult. If there happens to be two people signed up for an item you would only need to bring half that.

This Week in the Sunshine Class

This week we will be exploring the outdoors and summertime fun. We will have a tent set up in by our “beach” in our classroom. I went to the beach this weekend and found some seaweed that I will be bringing in as well as beach sand for our sensory table. We are going to the Park on Thursday and Friday. We will take our snack over so we can have a picnic. We will be making an outdoor collage over there to bring back and we will have a story time over there in the grass under a big tree.

Word Wall

A note from the teacher

A big thank you to Leo’s Grandmother, Barbara for coming in and teaching the children the monster song. The children loved it!!

We are in need of your recycled goods for Summer Camp. We want to create some recycled art and a city out of recycled items. So anything you think we might want, we do!

Coming to a playground near you….. It’s Playground Clean Up Day!! So mark your calendars for Saturday May 30th and come and help clean up our playground. If you haven’t put in your hour worth of volunteer work or even if you have it’s a great way to help your school community. On a side note my family helped with the downtown clean up this weekend and honestly I didn’t really want to go but I thought it was a good way to show my daughter that we should be involved in our community. Once we got there and got going, it was a terrific experience. We meet new people and made the down town area look amazing. So even if you are feeling hesitant about making the effort, just do it! You’ll feel great about your efforts.
