April News

Spring is really here......
	Please check your child's container of clothing and exchange for lighter and most likely larger clothes. We will be outside on a daily basis and ask you to dress your child appropriately. Proper shoes are very important for the safety of children. Gym shoes are the best. Please no sandals, jelly shoes or flip flops. Thank you for your cooperation.


We will have a Springtime storyteller visiting on April 20th.

REMINDER...

April 10-16, 2011
The Week of the Young Child is a time to recognize that children's opportunities are our responsibilities, and to recommit ourselves to ensuring that each and every child experiences the type of early environment ---at home, at child care, at school, and in the community--- that will promote their early learning.

Today we know more than ever before about the importance of children's earliest years in shaping their learning and development. Yet, never before have the needs of young children and their families been more pressing. The Week of the Young Child is a time to recognize that children's opportunities are our responsibilities, and to recommit ourselves to ensuring that each and every child experiences the type of early environment--at home, at child care, at school, and in the community--that will promote their early learning.

Five Reasons Why Four Is The Perfect Age

Four delights in walks or bikes around the neighborhood. Four still loves to collect treasures (sticks, flowers, etc.) on these little jaunts. Fours still reports with great enthusiasm that she met a neighbor- or a neighbor's cat on her walk. Four walks holding your hand happily.

Four has her own fashion sense. Fours wears the hood from a Batman costume to the park or the
supermarket. In the latter, she asks with great innocence, "Why is everyone looking at me?"

3.	Four sleeps through the night, is well past potty training and doesn't turn the house upside down when you take a shower. Four makes you miss your baby sometimes but lets you delight in this little independent person she's become-one who no longer needs you to tote around a small army's worth of supplies. Four still likes it if you have snacks in your purse, though.
4.	Four sings and dances, unabashedly. four colors amazing pictures, with giant heads and stick bodies and big smiles. Four lives books and is into leters and numbers. Four can do puzzles and hang upside down on the monkey bars. Four makes you laugh when she says, " I'll put a duck on your head!"
5.	Four is sweet and cuddly and full of over-the-top praises for everyone she loves like, "You're the best mom I've seen on Earth." Four is also brutally honest when she says, "You have a giant bottom."

WHAT'S HAPPENING...

Our Teddy Bears, the two's ...
In March we talked about the wind, birds, insects, and all things Spring!
Next month we will start to talk about turtles, frogs, baby animals, Easter, and Gardening.

The Bunny Bunch, the threes ...
We finally made the letter "Z" just in time for Spring.
We love all of the different types of weather in Spring;
sunny, rainy and we especially like the fact that the flowers will grow.

Our 4's, our Junior Kindergarten...
This past month was filled with learning about Spring.
We learned all about how plants, trees and flowers begin growing again.
We learned about insects and why they are so important for the growth of all plants.
We had a wonderful St. Patrick�s Day and were treated to a messy classroom�thanks to the tricky leprechauns.
We are now finished with our wonderful chick hatching project.
It was so fun this week for all of the children to see life begin for 17 new babies.
Every child got a chance to pet the baby chicks.
We also had a great April Fool�s Day.
We had a guest speaker come and talk to us about taking care of the Earth and taught us about what reduce, reuse and recycle means.
We filled Ms. Bonnie�s office with 100 balloons.
It became balloon day for all of the children�inside and out.
April will bring more Spring discussions and we will begin our new class project�All About Birds.

Our 5's, our Kindergartener's...
In March, we tried to catch a Leprechaun, we talked about saving our Earth,
we watched baby chicks hatch, and we started our big gardening Project.
We planted seeds and are seeing them grow.
In April, we will continue working on that project,
planting beautiful flowers and not only vegetables for our garden.
We will learn more about the plants, their parts and how they propagate in the nature.
We will also talk about birds and insects and, weather is permitting,
will finally go observe nature in Emily Oaks Park.
