May Reflection
This month we said thank you to those children making their
way to new adventures for the summer and beyond. This has been a wonderful experience to honor relationships
in class—ways friends can stay connected and discussion of change. We talked at circle time in both our AM and PM classes about what feelings sometimes come up while experiencing change and that change is a natural part of
life. Change is transition to
something unexpected and most of the time, amazing!
The
children have been really enjoying Show & Tell!
Show
& Tell: Tuesdays or Thursdays feel free to help your child find something small
and special from nature or object starting with any of the letters from our
alphabet (example: “a” for apple) to bring to class for beginning group. Please place Show & Tell items in a
name labeled plastic bag.
Welcome Carter Suchy to our PM Class! Please feel free to introduce yourself
to Vince and Kay Hardy and Carter!
