This month we will continue our unit on pets and then do a unit on zoo animals.
SPRING VACATION
School will be closed April 7 through April 11. This vacation is the same as the Moreland School District's School Calendar.
OPEN HOUSE
On Thursday, April 24, we will have an Open House from 12:30 to 2 p.m. for prospective families. Please help us spread the word. We still have openings for our fall classes. If you have friends, neighbors or relatives looking for a preschool for fall, please tell them about our school. We will once again offer parent participation and non-participation spots in both classes. Please pass the word!
MAINTENANCE SATURDAY WORKDAY
Our third and final workday will be Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to noon in our classroom. If you have not been to one of the other two workdays, you are required to attend this one.
SCHEDULES
The work and snack schedules for April, May and June have been put in your folders. Please check to see when you are scheduled for snack. At that time, you should provide a healthy snack with at least two items from two different food groups (fruit and yogurt, crackers and cheese, etc.) plus drink (juice or water), napkins, cups, and plates as needed for 17 students. In our M-W-F class, we ask you to try to tie in the letter of the week with the snack when possible. If we are celebrating your child's birthday, you may bring party napkins and cups, a special food or sweet (like cupcakes), and a drink.
SUMMER SCHOOL
The summer brochure will be out the end of April. The Kids Korner classes (for children who have been in the 3 and 4 year old preschool classes) will be held in our classroom. Mrs. Murphy will be teaching. Watch your folders for the bulletin with the registration information or ask us for more details.
