April Calendar is ready for printing

The April calendar is ready for printing. Just click on the print icon on the upper right hand corner of the calendar. Once you are in the print screen, you can choose the size of font it's printed in, the color, and if you want it to print as a portrait or landscape. PLEASE print it up and hang it in a visible place. Helpful tip: print this post on the back side of the calendar. This way you will have all the details about each happening.

Here are the highlights of this month:

• April 21 and 22 is movie star day. The kids can come to school dressed up like a movie star if they would like to. (fancy dresses, feather boas, high heels, top hats, bow ties, sunglasses, super man capes, etc) I will need a mommy (or daddy or grandparent) helper on this day in each class. (this is the day I film the kids for our preschool video, so please please please make sure your child is at school this day)


• April 23 book orders are due. This will be the last book order of the regular school year. If you would like to place an order, go to www.scholastic.com/parentordering

This month, I recommend Mars Needs Moms! #53 in SeeSaw April

• April 28 and 29 is school picture day. Based on the poll on this site a couple of weeks ago, the majority of you would like group style pictures, so that's what we'll do! The pictures will be taken inside, during preschool, against a BLACK backdrop. Bright colors always look best in photos. It is recommended that you do not put your child in black. (with the black background, it may look like a floating head :) ) You will have the option to purchase an individual photo of your child or a class picture OR a combination of both.


• We will celebrate Kanamu's birthday this month. He will be 5! Happy birthday!!


• I will be sending a note home in the backpacks this week about Summer Camp. The first day of summer classes will be Monday, June 7. Tuition is $60. There are no additional registration or start up costs.

Heads up for next month:

• The theme for next month is "Wrapping it up"


• May 3 &4 is our Mystery Box show and tell. It's also the LAST show and tell of the year.


• May 24 is the picnic at Hunter Park


• May 25 is the end of year program at Hunter Library


• (you can find out more details about each of these "events" by clicking on the highlighted box of that day and then clicking to view details.)


• In May, we will celebrate all summer birthdays. Please check the calendar to see which date we will celebrate your little one's birthday.
