Week of April 21-24, 2014

The letter of the week is Cc.
Star Student is : Aaron
Memory Verse: Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Eph 6:1.

If you did not get your Krispy Kreme certificates Thursday you will receive them in your child's binder on Monday.

We had a very busy week this last week.  I am including pictures that I have taken over the last week.

If you are wanting your child to attend one or more of the summer programs you need to get your forms in ASAP.  They are only taking so many kids and they are filling fast!

Reminder that pick up times are 11:40 am for half day students and 2:45 pm for full day students!


Upcoming Events:
May 1st- Muffins with Mom/ Donuts with Dad- 8:30-9:00am in the gym. Join us for muffins and donuts for breakfast before dropping the kids off at school and heading off to work!

May 14- End of the year party.  We will have fun activities for the children.  We are hoping for great, beautiful weather this day.  Parents are welcome to join us from 11-noon for the fun!

May 15-
        Toddler Time and Jumpstart Graduation @10:30 am in our Chapel.

         Pre School and Pre-K Graduation @6:30 pm. at the Main Campus in the Sanctuary.  Graduates
         will need to arrive by 6:15.  The doors will not be unlocked until 6:00pm. It is recommended
         that graduates where a long dress or long pants under their gowns (otherwise it will look like
         they are wearing nothing under their gowns). NO FLIP FLOPS OR "HEELED" shoes.  The    
         graduates will be going up steps and we do not want anyone getting hurt. It is preferred that
         girls wear their hair down that night.  NO HIGH PONYTAILS OR BOWS.  These items will
         take it impossible to keep the caps on their heads.

I hope everyone has a safe, fun and BLESSED Easter!

 We read the book "The terrible underpants" for Uu week.  The kids then decorated their own underpants.

 We talked about animals that live Underwater for Uu week.  This kids decorated the letter Uu with animals that live underwater.

                               Our beautiful Uu brides getting ready for the Q and U wedding.

                                                       The Q and U wedding cake!

                                                                 The Q and U punch.

 The Pre-K kids alone weighed 2000 pounds.  This is 500 pounds more than the average adult milk cow.

                                      Everyone loved getting to meet and pet the baby calf!

                                  The kids also got to milk MOOOrissa the pretend cow!

Thank you to all the parents that sent stuff in for our treasure box.  It is currently well stocked and the kids were very excited to see all the options they had this week.

March 24-28- SPRING BREAK NO SCHOOL!

March 31-April 4

Star student- Mariah
Letter of the week  is Qq.
Number of the week is 20.
Color of the week is orange.
Sight word of the week is quit.
Memory verse- in Quietness and trust is your strength.

We are still in need of paper towels and glue sticks.

Full day students will no longer be allowed blankets and/or toys for quiet time.  They are becoming a distraction as they are sharing and then fighting over them.  Also, they will not be allowed in kindergarten.

We are really going to work on not talking out in class after break as well.  We do not want to be harsh, but we also do not want to send your child onto kindergarten with a false realization.  We would prefer to correct them now than to have a new teacher have to do it.

It is hard to believe but we have less than 30 school days left before we will be sending most of these kids off to kindergarten :(

After break we will be back to a normal schedule with class only Monday - Thursday!

Here are some pictures from our 100th day of school!

Monday is St Patricks Day. Although we will not allow pinching at school, please wear green.

Wednesday- assuming there are no snow days between now and then, we will celebrate our 100th day of school.

Friday- this will be our final snow make-up day.

Sorry I did not get this posted on Friday as usual.

Letter of the week is Rr.
Memory verse is Rejoice in the Lord always!
Number of the week is 18
Color we will be reviewing red.

If there are any parents that could volunteer to help us out.  On March 18 and 19 (next Tuesday and Wednesday) we are in need of volunteers who would be willing and able to help with lunch supervision and then be willing to take the kids to our room and sit with them while they watch a video.  There would only be 12-13 children.  If there are any half day parents willing to help your child is more than welcome to join the class for lunch and quite time.  This would be from 11:30 -1pm.  Please email me or Amy, text myself or Amy, facebook us, or let us know at school at drop off or pick up.  This is greatly appreciated!

Also, please remember that Friday is another snow make-up day.

This week Ava is our star student
The letter of the week is Dd
The number of the week is 17.
The sight word of the week is: did
The memory verse is:  Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
The color of the week is green

Since Sunday is Dr Seuss' birthday we are going to spend the entire week celebrating by doing activities with a different book each day of the week.

Wednesday we will be reading Wacky Wednesday so we are asking that the kids come dressed Wacky.  This could be clothing, hair, etc.  Let you imagination go wild!

We are in need of fine point dry erase markers (not the fat ones).  We are running low do to drying out and we use them A LOT!

This last week we sent home forms for caps and gowns for graduation.  The price is $17 for the cap and gown.  We are using the red ones for those who have siblings who have already graduated.  You may use those if you wish.  If you are going to use a siblings cap and gown and want a new tassel with the '14 on it then please let us know that and it will only cost you $2 for the tassel.  Once graduation is over the caps and gowns will be yours to do whatever you want.    I believe the money for those are due by March 20th so that we can get them ordered in plenty of time for graduation.

If you have any questions or concerns please let Amy or me know. 

I hope to see everyone Monday (but I am not holding my breath).  We will see what mother nature has in store for us.  Stay safe and warm!

Mrs. Becky
