UPK May Newsletter

The children are having so much fun enjoying the outdoors these last few weeks.  The weather has been beautiful!  We have been exploring the weather, seeds, and plants.  We started growing grass first and will move on to beans and flowers this month.   We hope to begin planting our garden outside too!

We will begin our exploration of the life cycle of butterflies.  We will have live caterpillars in the classroom and watch them grow and transform into full butterflies. 

Our alphabet study is almost finished with the letters X, Y and Z.  We continue to play games to practice our counting skills and number recognition.  

Reminders:

• Please send a snack and drink to school with your child each day.

 Safety Issues:

• Please send a note if someone other than a parent will be picking up your child.   In the case of an emergency and a friend is picking up, please call the school.  We cannot release a child without permission from the parent. 
• When taking your child to school, please walk along the sidewalk to the door of the school.  At times the parking lot is very busy and it is safe to walk along the sidewalk rather than through the parking lot.
• Please walk your child to the door or playground where a teacher will meet you and your child.  Children should never be walking alone through the grounds of the school.

Dress:

• Please send in a change  of  clothing  appropriate for warm weather. 
• Sunscreen – We will be spending more time outside, please apply sunscreen to your child.
• Sneakers -  Children run, play and jump more easily when wearing sneakers to school.   

Dates to Remember:

School will be open on Thursday, May 27 and Friday, May 28^th.   

We will only be closed on Monday, May 31st.   

Friday, May 28^th  Show & Share:  Please have your child bring in something special to share with the class.

Thanks!    The Four Year Old Teachers
