May is Here!

Spring is here, and we’re learning all about it: flowers, plants, earthworms - and guess what? Our caterpillars have arrived!

Our unofficial mascot, the Feeney tree frog, has also made an appearance. Our frog resides inside the tree and it has been a year since we last saw our frog friend. There are many enriching learning activities planned in the weeks ahead, it will be a challenge to fit it all in!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, see you on Monday.


Warm regards,

Julie

Spring Reminders

Now that spring is here, a few reminders:

Please apply sunscreen at home if you wish. We cannot apply it at school.

Safe footwear is important! Please no flip flops or sandals. They run - a lot.

Please label sweatshirts and jackets so we can make sure they get home safely.

Refillable water bottles are the best options for school so we can refill them as needed.


Thank you for your cooperation!
