4 and a half weeks LEFT!!!

Here is a sneak peek into our Easter festivities. It is taking forever to download pictures so you will have to wait to see the rest until the end of the year.

Our egg hunt...thanks for your contributions

Dyeing their Easter eggs.

Morning friends!

Their hunt

They did so good on all of their eggs.

Remember...we are in full gear these next few weeks...have to cram A LOT in in very little time!

Here are some dates to remember:

This Thursday the 23rd WATER DAY...please have your child wear their suit to school, however we will only be outside about the last 30 minutes of class.

MONDAY the 27th...FIELD TRIP TO BASHA'S at 9 AM...all are welcome...it will probably last about an hour.

THURS. the 30th...OUR BAKE SALE...please plan on coming to PICK THEM UP about 15-20 minutes. Our preschool will be transformed to a store and we will have goodies to sell you for $0.25...they will be sold first come first serve. Feel free to tell family members or neighbors...the more the merrier...gives the kids a better experience!

May 13th--PLEASE BRING A PLAIN WHITE SHIRT FOR YOUR CHILD (If you want to wash it before hand that's ok...but please don't wash it after you get it back...they will wear these to graduation!)

May 18th-- WE WILL HAVE SCHOOL to make up for ending a day early...I couldn't get the building for any other day...sorry!

May 19th-- LAST DAY OF SCHOOL (probably combined and at the graduation site...pending availability...will keep you posted) but plan on morning school that day 9-11:30 for EVERYONE!!

GRADUATION WILL BE THAT NIGHT AT 7:00 PM should be well over by 8:00 PM including socializing a little bit afterwards.

I can't believe how quickly the year is going.

Some things from the past week:

We have had fun learning about the ocean: hopefully they told you some of the facts we have learned about (hopefully they are all true :) ) We learned that a blue whale is the largest mammal. It's heart is the size of a small car, and 10 people can fit on it's tongue. We learned that an Octopus has 8 legs (actually called TENTACLES...sorry if another name came out when they told you about it! :)). And they are very smart, and they don't have bones so they can squeeze through a whole the size of a coin. We learned that sea stars aren't called star fish anymore because they are not fish. They always have at least five arms, but can have as many as 20. Each arm has an "eye ball" and their arms regenerate. They all seemed very interested in all of this information...try quizzing them about it...see what they remember.

We have successful completed 4 of our six songs...Pledge of Allegiance, Proud to be an American, This land is your land (first part only), and These are the continents. This week we will be learning It's a small world, followed by God bless the USA the next week. I hope your children have enjoyed learning about our country a little bit.

That's been our last week or two in a nut shell. Thanks for all of your contributions and help throughout the year. You guys are amazing!! Have a great week!
