April was a fantastic month! We were able to celebrate the Week of the Young Child! It was great to see all our students and staff participating in each day of spirit week. We hope that everyone enjoyed that week as much as we did. This month we also got to experience the solar eclipse. Some of our older students were able to see the eclipse with special glasses. It was an exciting activity, and it gave us the opportunity to learn about the sun and the moon and the role they play on our planet. We also had picture day this month. So many cute faces and outfits!

In class, students learned about our planet and how important it is to protect our Earth. We discussed the many ways that we can help keep our environment clean. We also learned about the Ocean, Australia, and New Zealand. We discovered the different types of wildlife as well as the different cultures that we don’t normally get to experience. The students really enjoyed our book of the month, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. April was a fun-filled, enriching, and action-packed month.

In May, our theme of the month is Dinosaurs! We will look at the large creatures that once roamed our earth. Our continent of the month is Africa. We have many creative lessons planned to teach our students about the different wildlife and cultures that exist in Africa. Our book for May will be, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.



Parent-Teacher Conferences will be on May 14^th and 15^th. Signups will be sent out soon! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher, set goals, and learn more about the classroom. If you would prefer a phone conference, please call the office to schedule.

Lastly, we can look forward to celebrating Mother’s Day with a lovely tea party at school. We hope to see everyone there!
