April Recap and May News

April Recap
In April, the children concentrated on Australia and Planet Earth. The children worked in the garden and discussed caring for the planet to help celebrate Earth day. They also learned the importance of recycling and keeping our world clean. They practiced recycling in their classrooms, with lessons focused on the different materials that can and cannot be recycled.
April included an annual celebration called the "Week of the Young Child." The children were excited about the different themes during the week. The children enjoyed making instruments, making snacks, building, and creating art. One of their favorite activities was building boxes on the playground. They also loved the "dirt in a cup" inspired by our silkworms. The children were fascinated by the growth of the silkworms, the cocoons, and eventually the moths. We were able to store eggs for next year!
We want to thank all our parents for your scholastic purchases. It helps fill our library with books that the children enjoy reading. Our annual egg hunt was a blast! The children were so excited to collect the eggs. Thank you so much to our parents for providing the eggs for the hunt.

We have asked each teacher to fill out a 'Favorites' form. We are excited about what May brings.
