May Newsletter

About this month...
It's hard to believe that there are only 3 weeks left of school! Miss Melody is due on the 16th but she is hoping to have the baby any day. We will miss her for the last few weeks of school, but she may be able to make it to graduation to say goodbye to the kids. Graduation will be on Thursday the 21st at 11:00 for the morning class and 1:00 for the afternoon class(everyone is invited even if they are not going to kindergarten next year). It will be held in our preschool room so as you are inviting people, be aware of the limited space. It will only last about 30-45 minutes. The kids are invited to wear "best dress" if they want and we will provide a graduation hat when they arrive. Wednesday the 20th will be our last day of the regular class schedule. We have loved teaching your kids this year and will really miss them. Also, if you haven't finalized with me if you will be coming back next year, please do that ASAP. Also, the $40.00 materials fee for next year is due by June 1st. Thanks!



A Peek at the Weeks...

Week 1: Letter W-Whales/Mother's Day

Week 2: Review-Dental health

Week 3: Evaluation, Summer birthday party, Field day, Graduation



Summer Birthdays
Our summer birthday party will be on Tuesday the 19th. If your child has a summer birthday, I will send home the spotlight for you to fill out and send on the 19th. You can also send a treat if you like, but it would be good if it was something the kids could take home since we have several summer birthdays in each class.



Summer Fun
I am thinking about doing a summer review/creative fun session this year if enough people are interested in it. It will probably be on Thursday mornings in June (except for the week I am at girls camp!!!!!!) and July (except for the 4th of July). So, probably 6-7 thursdays for 2 hours from 10:00-12:00. We would do some school review, but also lots of art/creative projects, and just fun stuff! It would be a much less structured atmosphere so the kids wouldn't think they were still stuck in school! Also, I would invite new kids coming next year, and anyone else (ages 3-6) that would like to come. The fee would be 60.00 for the summer session including materials. Let me know if you and any friends etc. are interested! If it works out, I will pass out a calendar with the dates and themes etc. by the end of school. Thanks!

Tuition is due on Thursday the 7th. this month. The T, TH class is $60.00 and the T, W, TH class is $75.00. Thank you!
