Seussical Jr. Tuesday, May 19, 9:30am The sign-up sheet for Seussical Jr. is outside the classroom. I need to turn in our attendance count this week. If you plan on going, please sign-up and give either Teacher Jaylene or Teacher Sally the money for your tickets. Tickets are $6 each.  This Week - Frogs and Worms We will be learning about the life cycle of frogs and how worms help our earth this week. Painting with gummy worms, stories about frogs and worms, and frog puppets will be part of our week. Feel free to come in and see how big our caterpillars are getting. We are hoping they will be ready to move to our butterfly habitat very soon!

Park Visits As the weather gets better and our school year winds down, we will be walking to the park across the street to play with friends from other classes. We will let you know ahead of time if we are going to be off-campus for our playtime. Elevator Information Just a friendly reminder - the elevator is only for families with strollers or people who need physical assistance. At no time should a child be in the elevator by themselves. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. Volunteer Opportunities: Approved snack donations are now a way to fulfill party of your 2-hour volunteer requirement. There is a list posted outside the classroom. Classroom Opportunities: Recycling - 15 minutes Washing toys/dress-up - 30 minutes Making playdough - 30 minutes Playdough The Butterfly class would love to have some fresh playdough. If you would like to make some, let us know. It's also a great way to earn 30 minutes of volunteer time. Thanks! We Love Our Butterfly Families! I want you to know how much we appreciate each and every one of you. I can't believe our year is almost over! We are going to have a busy and fun-filled end of the year. Thank you for being so awesome this year! Word Wall - Letter Z This is it - we made it to the end of the alphabet! This week is Z for zoo, zip, and zing.
