I can't believe it's the end of the school year already.  I have had so much fun with your kids.  We had a great time at Willow Park today.  Some of the highlights was seeing the slider turtles swim in the creek and then come out on the rock, the peacock with all it's feathers out, the huge fish swimming by all the ducks and geese, the baby yellow geese with mom and dad, the wallaby jumping, and the ultimate highlight was seeing the geese defend it's egg.  They were jumping up on the "deer" (I can't remember the name of this animal) and making the funniest noise trying to scare off the deer.  I think the deer was trying to have fun with them and wasn't really interested in the egg.  

We will see you on Monday.  You can come anytime after 10:45 am.  We will start the program at 11:00 am.

This week we are going to Willow Park.  You are invited to come along with us if you want.  Please let me know if you are planning on going.

Home Projects/Challenge:  Start thinking of summer now.  Kindergarten will begin before you know it.  To help prepare you child, schedule your day so you can fit in some Reading Time, and some type of project, whether it's, coloring, playing an alphabet or counting game, or making something together in the kitchen.  Have them practice writing their name for you everyday.  There are lots of storytimes in the valley you may want to check out.  Willow Park Zoo does one, American West Heritage Center and most public libraries will.  Other things to think about is to keep them active by going to the park and playing outside.  

Next week is Preschool Graduation!  Please plan on coming to see your child sing and perform for you at 11:00 am.  We will also have treats to share to celebrate your preschooler's success in school.  The whole family is invited to attend.

Registration has begun for next fall Preschool.  Invite your friends and family to register.  I have added some new classes.  See the schedule below for details.  Feel free to e-mail or call if you have any questions.
