Happy Spring Everybody!! I hope you are enjoying our lovely spring weather......sometimes sunny........sometimes rainy :) Sometimes dry.....sometimes muddy! We've been busy in the backyard yard lately, making a new strawberry patch, digging in the dirt for worms and building a new sandbox! I am super excited because 2 yards of play sand is going to be delivered this Wednesday morning :) It has been really fun getting out to the playground with the kids, taking walks and looking for signs of spring. Since we have been lucky enough to see beetles, ants, caterpillars, butterflies and bees in the backyard, we will continue with these as one of our themes for the month of May. Spring is a wonderful time for sensory experiences: Bubbles, dirt, mud, sand, water, worms, wind, sun and a flower pot sensory play tub :) Other themes we will be exploring for May will be baby animals, Gardens, Mother's Day, Letters C to G and numbers 24 to 28 and Shapes. If your child would like to bring in a show and tell object that reinforces our learning about shapes we would love to see it! Also, for our baby animal theme it would be great if we could invite a guest who might have baby kittens, puppies, rabbits etc to visit us........let me know if you have any leads!! Our color this month is pink.
Thank you for ensuring that your children have a variety of changes of clothes to suit our unpredictable weather! Sunscreen permission forms will be going home shortly to be signed and returned with a bottle of labeled sunscreen for your child.
As always, I am so grateful to care for your children. They are so special to me and make everyday bright and sunny!
Judy
