No school on Monday April 6, 2015. Spring Break


Sunday, April 5, 2015

My 3-4 year old class is full for next Fall. It filled up in three days.  I still have 3 classes available for children who are between the ages of 4 and 5.  These classes are specifically designed for children who will be attending kindergarten the following year (2016).  As I call it they will be "kinder ready" for kindergarten and then some.

We had a great Easter Party this past week.  The children met and talked with a grown Easter Bunny whose name was "Peter".  They asked him many questions and we took fun pics of each child as well as all of the children around "Peter Rabbit".  Some of the questions asked were"do you have any children"? "What do you eat"? "Where do you live"? "Why is your fur soft"? "Are all bunnies eyes blue"? "Why do you hop"?  They noticed that Peter had socks on under his fur and thought that was funny too. The colored eggs and Peter brought them some goodies and surprises.  One little boy said, "this is the best day of my life"!  I think that sums it up.

We are now ready to finish up our letters in class.  We have letters, W, X, Y and Z left of the alphabet to do.

I am happy where they are at academically.  They are ready for Kindergarten.  Keep their reading books I have given you and go over them through the summer.  This will help them remember their letters and sight words.  We have been enjoying small moments outside playing with each other and it has been so fun for the children.  They are all enjoying each others friendships and learning to be kind and take turns and share.  I am so proud of each one of them in their journey of life. A Baby's first steps are fun to watch, but these steps are growing steps they will use the rest of their lives and become a positive force for good in this world.  Its exciting to watch and wonder what each one will become.

Graduation will be May 21 in the morning at the East Stake Centers Gym. It will be short and sweet.  Please have your child wear church clothes, but adults do not need to.  The times will be:

*Class 4 (Tuesday-Thursday class that meets (9:45-11:45) graduation will be at 10:00 am

*Class 1 (Monday-Wednesday class that meets (8:45-10:45) graduation will be 11:00 am
*Class 5 (Tuesday-Thursday class that meets (12:00-2:00) graduation will be at 11:00 am
(I will be combining these two classes because I have some children that come everyday of the week  in these classes).
