May 12-16

Dear Sunshine Families I want to let everyone know that Katie will not be in our classroom for the rest of the school year. But don't worry she won't be far; she has been hired as the new director of Little Acorn! Beginning this week she will be working in the office but I am sure she will pop down to visit us from time to time! Teacher Sabrina and board member, Shanda will be helping out for the rest of the year. Summer camp registration is in full swing. We are offering 2 weeks of camp this year. Camp runs from 9:00-12:00. Each week there will be 2 options, the first week the themes offered are Dinosaurs or Disney and the second week themes are Princess and Pirates or Lego's. Each week will include outside water play (weather permitting), fun snacks and a camp keepsake! Registration form can be found by the sign in sheet and upstairs in the office. This week we will start our unit on transportation; Trucks, cars, plans and trains! The letter for this week is 'T' for Truck! Art: We will drive cars and trucks through paint and around on paper, we will also drive tractors through puff paint. The kids can make a collage with construction vehicles and we will make a bus out of egg cartons. Math/Science: We will make transportation patterns and continue with our planting unit from last week. The kids make drawings of their seeds and as their beans sprout will document that as well. Literacy: This week we will read Truck! and The Magic School Bus Extras: Playground cleanup is June 7th!!! We will be repainting the playhouse, bridge and toybox. This is a great way to complete volunteer hours. Bring your garden gloves, shovels and rakes and help us spread new gravel, pull weeds and clean up the play structures and house! As the weather gets nicer bikes will be out more often! It can be hard to know if they will be set out until we get to school and determine the weather, but if it looks like dry weather they should be out! Helmets can be brought everyday or left at school if you choose. If you are on Facebook make sure you check out our Little Acorn page. We keep up to date information regarding events and things happening in the classrooms!
