This Week in the Sunshine Class

Beach Party, the children can wear their beach wear to school and we will have sno-cones on Thursday and Friday! If they wear their swimming suits we ask that they either wear other clothes over them or bring extra clothes. We will be creating some more ocean creatures and our own aquariums this week.

A note from the teacher

Thank you all so much for coming to the Mom’s Tea. The children worked really hard on their gifts & songs. They love you all very much!! :) Happy Mother’s Day, I hope you all had a great day with your families.

I wanted to give you a heads up on the all school picnic. It is on Thursday & Friday of the last week of school and is held at Felida Park in Hazel Dell. I will have a sign up sheet posted of items that we need. It is a lot of fun to all be together (the school & their families) on the last days of school.

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!

This Week in the Sunshine Class

This week we are talking about the ocean and its beaches. We will actually be discovering the ocean for two weeks. At the end of next week we will have a Beach Party, where the children can wear their beach wear to school and we will have sno-cones. We will be creating some ocean creatures and talking about ways to travel to the beach, along with what we do at the beach once we get there!

Our letter will be the letter Bb again this week. B was a big hit this week!! We read a book that Sam & Abby lent us and we discovered all kinds of words that begin with Bb. The children have been getting very excited about finding words that start with our letter of the week. Great job in helping them out.

A note from the teacher

I want to thank Judith Freeman (Juliana’s Grandmother) for coming into our class on Wednesday and talking with us about Lilies. She kindly donated Lilies to our class for everyone to plant. Thank you so much for coming in and sharing your talents with us!

I also want to thank Cal-Portland for giving my husband Darrell the opportunity to bring his truck down and talking with the school about what it does. The children had a great time checking themselves out in the shiny wheelsJ.

I love the sense of community that our school shares. We have so many talented families that are willing to share with us. Thank you all!!

This Week in the Sunshine Class

We have caterpillars and they have climbed up & formed chrysalis. We will be watching their transformation this week and hope we can see butterflies flying around before weeks end. We will be combining all the butterfly excitement with the Mom’s Tea extravaganza. We will be reading The Hungry Caterpillar and Are you my mother?. We will finish up our table decorations and Mom’s treats as well as do some butterfly art.
