May Newsletter

 



Little Valley Learners Newsletter

If April wasn’t the longest, weirdest, snowiest month, I don’t know what was.  Here are a few highlights. Spring Break. I don’t know that 40 inches of snow in 3 days can really count as Spring Break. I hope you were able to escape somewhere a little warmer with a lot less snow. The letter V taught us about volcanoes and the kids could have dumped vinegar into cups of baking soda all. day. long.  Definitely a winner. It was also interesting to see what vegetables they would eat and which ones were a definite NO. Our Walrus puppets were adorable and they loved talking with each other as Walruses. Watermelon was also a hit. X is a difficult letter, but just give them some boXes and they’ll be entertained for hours. 


May 1-5: The letter Y, numbers 4-5, the color black, shape: hexagon, Summer


May 8-12: Mother’s Day, numbers 6-7, the color black, shape: hexagon

March Newsletter

 We had a fun February. Here are a few highlights. We learned a lot about groundhogs for groundhog day, really celebrated the letter P with pizza, pirates and penguins, had fun playing musical hearts at our Valentines Day party, enjoyed a waterbead sensory bin exploring the ocean and got our quilting on with the letter Q! Thanks to everyone who sent a quilt to share. It was so fun for me to see them and I know the kids enjoyed sharing. Maybe one day we will see grass again and be able to get outside. I’m over the snow.

I have a special request for this week. My friend from college has asked me to attend her event for work. It is on the 21st so I was hoping to move preschool to that Monday the 20th. I know that might mess up schedules for some people so please let me know if it doesn’t work. If there are enough people who won’t be able to come, I’ll think of something else. Thanks!
