Discover and Learn News

I hope you all survived the week of no preschool, I'm really sorry about the inconvenience, but I do hope you are all ready to get going again, I know I am!! Can you believe we only have a few weeks left of preschool - about 12 to be exact!!
I've changed the scheduled units around a bit from the layout you all got at the beginning of the year.....I feel like this all rolls and fits together better. I do want to remind you that there will be no school on Thursday, April 10th because of Spring Break! I made sure this is lined up with the public school schedule so your kids can all be off together.
*March 11th - March 20th: "Spring and Easter"
*March 25th - April 3rd: "Nutrition and Manners"
*April 8th - April 17th: (remember no school on April 10th) "A Dinosaur Dynasty"
*April 22nd - May 1st: "Folktales"
*May 6th - May 15th: "Five Spectacular Stories"
*May 20 - 29th: "Beach Week" Our celebration water day will be the last day of school, Thursday, May 29th.
I do want to remind you that we'll be having our Family Preschool Party on Friday May 23rd. This is our Preschool graduation night where sisters, brothers, grandma's, grandpa's, and of course mom's and dad's are invited! There will be lots to do and of course an exciting night for your little graduating preschooler!! I'm also changing this day from what I have posted in the beginning of the year preschool packet since I have added another week onto preschool.
If you have any questions about any of this, feel free to contact me at anytime. I hope this last week didn't throw anyone off too bad, hopefully we can just slide right back into things. Thanks for all you do as parents and for our preschool!
