In April, the children learned about Island and Volcanoes. In their classrooms they were able to learn how volcanoes are formed and erupt. They also learned about Australia/ New Zealand/ Pacific Islands. The children learned about the Great Barrier Reef, culture, national flags, wildlife, kangaroos, koalas, and more. The children discussed Earth Day and the importance of keeping our world clean by recycling and reusing materials for different things.



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, snacks, building, and creating art. One of their favorite activities was building boxes on the playground. They also loved the "Parfait" inspired by our gardens. They really enjoyed our spirit week as well with silly hair/hat, sports, princess/superheroes, and favorite color day.

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 eggs. Thank you so much to our parents for providing the eggs for the hunt and your contributions to your child’s classroom celebrations.

May is going to be a hectic month. We will start with a week-long event from May 5^th- 9^th for Teacher Appreciation. This is an opportunity to show your appreciation for all our teachers' excellent hard work. We have asked each teacher to fill out a 'Favorites' form. Then we move to our annual Mother's Day Event on the 9^th and Parent-Teacher Conferences on the 20^th and 21^st. This is a reminder that we close at 3:00 pm on both days. Last, but not least, school will be closed on Monday, May 26^th for Memorial Day. Whew! We are excited about what May will bring.
