School Bus Ride

Exciting News!

At our End of the Year Party on
Wed. May 19
we will be able to tour a school bus!
All kids may tour the bus, but in order to take a
short ride they must be accompanied by an adult.
This will be a great chance for the kids to start
getting comfortable with the school setting.
We'll also be able to ask the bus driver any questions
we might have. So be thinking...


Also--
remember Bubble Painting
was postponed to
Mon. May 17th.
Wear old clothes just in case.

Bubble Painting
The weather looks yucky for tomorrow, 5/12
so we will switch our bubble painting to Mon. 5/17
and hope for sunshine!
Remember, dress in old clothes in case the bubble splatter a little.



Slideshow...
We bought a value pack of DVDs
so that anyone who would like a copy
of the slideshow can just give us a $1
and I'll have the disk for you on the last day of class.

Please at least let me know that you would like a copy in advance
so that we burn enough.

THANKS!
Miss Jill

End of the Year Notes

Bookworms Notes for our

If you have any pictures you would like to include,
please get them to us

Email them to jgetman@midyork.org
Or, bring in hard copies.

If you would like a copy of the slideshow,

Please let Jill know if you want a copy

By May 12th
Please bring a piece of artwork that your child would like to
display in our Early Lit Art Show that will hang in the gallery
from May 18th-June 2nd.

Also on May 12th
We will be "bubble painting."
I recommend that your child wears old clothes
in case the get a little soapy food coloring on them.

Vacation Days

Just a reminder--
We do have class on days that the
school takes off for unused snow days.
Older children are welcome to come play with
our board games, etc. if you like.


There is NO CLASS during April Vacation (the 19th & 21st).
I do encourage you to sit down with your child and:

• play with ABC flashcards
• (if you're keeping the letters from each week they work great)
• read 2 stories back to back
  
• Say our new Days of the Week Rhyme (I'll post that too)
• Do any sort of coloring or craft
• Write/trace letters
• Count while you wait for things, give them pieces or something, etc.

Also,
Come to Friday Story Hour!
It's a story, craft, and snack.
Sound familiar...

*****
All this little things make a big difference when they come back.
A week may not seem like long to us,
but it makes a huge difference when we try to get back into our routine.
