We will also begin water play this month; each classroom will have their own scheduled times.

 

Transition week will be the week of June 26th! A sign will be posted in each classroom with the children who will be moving on!  If you have any questions, please see your child’s teacher.

 

Infants:

This month with our younger infants, we will be working on our social play skills, circle time with friends, passing toys to each other, and sharing smiles.  Our older infants will also be focusing on social play skills, circle time and talking with friends.  This month we will also be having afternoon snack/bottles outside weather permitting.  We will also be working on Father’s Day gifts.

 

Family Engagement- Please bring in a picture of your child with Daddy, Grandpa, or someone special in their life!

Crawlers:

This month we will focus on gross motor development as the children develop large muscle control, strength, and coordination.  We will also focus on social and emotional development as the children develop trust in and engage positively with adults who are familiar and consistently present in their lives.

 

Family Engagement Activity- This month we are asking all the mothers to come and speak with Ms. Mishele or Ms. Jenn about our special Father’s Day gifts!  We need your help!

 

Young Toddlers:

This month we will focus on social and emotional development.  The children will work on developing the confidence to complete an action successfully or independently.  We will also work on fine motor skills as the children develop small muscle control, strength and coordination.

 

Family Engagement- In connection to our under the sea theme, we will be sending home a fish bowl for you to decorate with your child.  Please send it back so we can display!

 

Happy Birthday to…  Lyla  6/16 and Gianni 6/24 Enjoy your day!

 

Older Toddlers:

This month we will focus on physical health and motor development.  The children will work on developing self-help skills as they work on drinking from small cups with little or no spills.  We will also focus on social studies as we talk about families and the people in our community.

On 6/21, we will be having a teddy bear picnic.  All children need to pack a cold lunch on this day!  Thank you!

 

Family Engagement- Please bring in pictures of your family for your child to share with us during morning meeting and also for us to display in our classroom!

 

Happy Birthday to… Josie 6/8, Augustine 6/18, Olivia 6/19, Ben 6/21, and MS. Nichol 6/19! Enjoy your day!

 

3’s Preschool:

This month we will work on expressive language, helping children to use increasingly complex vocabulary, grammar, and syntax to express thoughts and needs.  We will also work on print knowledge as children will demonstrate book awareness and knowledge of basic print conventions, understanding print carries meaning and spoken words are represented by text.

Special events- Preschool End of the Year Celebration!! More details to come!

 

Family Engagement- Tell us about your summer plans or vacations!  We will send home a journal page for you to work on with your child.

 

Happy Birthday to… Charlene 6/21 Enjoy your day!

 

4’s Pre-K:

This is our busiest and most exciting time of the whole year in Pre-K!  This month we will be focusing on cognitive development.  The children will be selecting and displaying their favorite work from their portfolios.  The children will apply strategies and draw upon past knowledge and experiences to meet goals and solve problems.  The children will be reminded and gain a deeper understanding of themselves as an individual with unique thoughts, feelings, and perspectives.

 

Family Engagement- We hope everyone will attend our “End of the Year Celebration”.  The children’s portfolios will be on display to share with families that day.  We will also be doing a short performance and all the children will receive their Pre-K Completion Certificate!

 

Here’s to another great month of learning and fun!  Thank you for your continued help and support!
