MAY ACTIVITIES

Hurray for May! We are going to have a wonderful time talking about "Animals All Across the World, " where they live, what they eat, and other interesting facts. During the month we will be looking at the letters: H, T; Shape: trapezoid; Number: nine; and Color: black. We are busy preparing for our Spring Program which will be held on Thursday, May 19th at 7. We will close at 6:30 to get ready for the program. Families are invited to attend. This is a fun opportunity for the children to show off some of the things they have learned.

Parent-Teacher conferences will be held May 10, 11, and 12. Sign up sheets are located in the lobby. Sign up for a time that is convenient for you to meet with your child's teacher.

May 26 is the last day of school for our local schools. Our summer field trips will begin June 6th. Schedules and sign up sheets will be available soon.

Since our weather is warmer, please clean out your child's cubby and bring in an extra set of clothes that is appropriate for the season. We go outside daily, so dress your child appropriately for their day. Bring an extra set of clothes in a ziplock bag to keep in their cubby. Please label all of your child's items with their name or initials to prevent mix-up. Bring a blanket for quiet time, and if you desire, you may bring a small pillow.

Please help us keep your children well by using hand sanitizer when you enter the building. Wash your child's hands with soap and water. Do not bring your child to daycare if he is ill. Everyone's help is appreciated to prevent the spread of illness in our center and community.

CHILD DEVELOPMENT THOUGHTS:
With the nice weather we are having now, it is a perfect time for outdoor activities. It is important that children get enough physical activity. All children should engage in at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activities most days of the week. This means activities such as running, climbing, skipping, jumping, and dancing. We live in a beautiful area with numerous parks, trails, and splash pads providing unlimited opportunities to enjoy year-round outdoor activities.

WE WILL BE CLOSED MONDAY, MAY 30 FOR MEMORIAL DAY. We are grateful for our military men and women who have given their lives in the service of our country.
