Our last full week of school will be May 13 - 17, with a short Graduation Week to follow. We can't believe the year has gone so quickly! We decided to make our final week of school full of celebratory days. Here is the calendar of events for this week: MONDAY - PJ and Waffle Day - Please wear PJs to school and bring a stuffie if you wish! It will be a cozy day. WEDNESDAY - Smoothie Day - Please bring in your favorite fruit to add to your green smoothie! It is also Ariela's birthday today, so we will be circling the sun for this little sweetie. FRIDAY - Under the Sea Day - We will be whipping up a special treat along with other surprises! We will be celebrating Emmett's birthday today - the big 0-5!
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MAMA'S this week, and those who show up to do the work of a mama. We will read lots of stories at circle times about the special bond between mother and child, including Me and Mama , a mama for Owen, My Mama , and more. Of course we will be making some sweet crafts for special people, learning some sweet songs, and just generally celebrating the women in our lives. S usan's favorite song about the love for a mama - from Tupac to his mother Afeni. (We will NOT be listening to this in class 😊) Our mamas read to us, bake with us, explore and play with us. They are patient and kind and joyful. Thank you for being our mamas.
One of our big projects this spring is the installation of a rain garden in our playground. The design and inspiration came from someone in our parent community (I bet you can guess who), and the installation will come from all the children and teachers. In preparation for all of this, we will need to see some rain gardens in action. On Wednesday, we will head to West Park on Chapin Street. Click HERE to see all of the water features and plants we may see! On Wednesday, like all field trip days, we will meet at the location at 10:00a.m. Once we are done exploring the park, we'll find a nice spot to picnic. There is NO red parent snack this day - all families will bring their own picnic. The story Abby will read on Monday will introduce the topic. There is a newly published book that is just perfect! On Friday, we will plant some flowers and plants that do well in rain gardens. Be sure to bring your gardening gloves, little ones!
