This week we had a pared-down Cinco de Mayo festival with chips & salsa, read about Antarctica and penguins, worked on Mother’s day gifts, and practiced for international day.
The children are doing great with the Fish & Poi song but please still practice at home. I will send home/attach the lyrics and hand movements for the song.
I cannot believe how fast the end of the year is coming. Lora & I have talked to the children some about the changes that will be happening for the summer and fall. As some of you know, Ms. Lora will be leaving us at the end of this school year. She will be pursuing her Elementary Montessori credtianial with the KCMO school district. Ms. Sara from the toddler room will be our new assistant. Many of the children already know her from her work in after care, toddler room and as a substitute in our room. I will be taking a leave of absence this summer to spend time with my father who is ill. I will be with the children until June 15th & will be returning for the fall semester. We have a great Montessori trained teacher who has been working with middle school students but is trained in primary as well, named Libby, and she will be the lead teacher for the summer. Some of the children may be feeling many emotions at this time of year. If your child seems sad, just listening and helping to give them the words for their feelings is important. We will have many friends moving on to new schools this summer and in the fall. We will also have many new friends joining us.
Please be sure to check your child’s cubbie and bring in at least one full change of clothes labeled including socks & underwear. If you are spring-cleaning and happen to have outgrown shorts, dresses and pants both for girls & boys we could use a few for the extra clothes box. Some of the items seem to have not made it back and others the children have outgrown.
International Day will be at noon on Friday the 22nd. You can bring in your displays in the morning when you drop your children off.
