March will be a fun filled month at Tot Spot! Our three year olds will be learning about nutrition using the Canada food guide and will sample some foods from the different food groups. The four year old classes will be making their very own books of some of our favourite stories. Watch for these special keepsakes to be coming home before Spring Break! Our special day this month will be Green Day on March 14th and 15th. Wear some green to school that day! We will finish off March with some fun Easter crafts and activities.
Save The Date for Dad’s Night!
Dad’s night will be April 16th (T/Th morning classes & all afternoon classes) and April 17th (M/W/F morning classes). The children are invited to bring their dad to school for an evening of fun and entertainment. The evening begins at 6:30 pm and wraps up around 8 pm. If dad is unavailable to come, a grandparent, uncle, or any other significant person is welcome to attend with your child. As this is a special evening for your child with their dad/special guest (and due to our limited space), siblings are not able to attend. Please note that your child does not come to school during the daytime on the day of their Dad’s Night.
(Mom’s Nights will be held on May 7th for T/Th morning classes & all afternoon classes and May 8th for MWF morning classes.)
Reminder: Please remember to put water in your child’s water bottle. It helps our snack time run more smoothly! J
Those of you with children in our 4 year old program may be thinking about what your child should be able to do to be ready for kindergarten in the fall. I’m For Kids Team has prepared a checklist that you might find helpful and has graciously allowed us to share it with you. You will find it attached and we will continue to work on many of these skills at school. Remember that every child learns at his/her own rate and this is just meant to be a guideline.
A special thank you to all the parents that have made presentations for our Community Helper theme this month. We look forward to a few more the beginning of March!
Teacher’s have their new volunteer signup sheets available now. It is a very special day for your child when you come in to volunteer. We also really appreciate your help! Moms, dads, grandparents, and other significant adults are all welcome. We need to have a volunteer every day in classes with more than 12 students to meet government mandated ratios. Please take advantage of this great opportunity to be a part of your child’s education!
Registration for next fall is ongoing. Thank you for continuing to recommend us to your family, friends and neighbours. Some classes only have a few spots left but we currently have at least one spot available for both 3 and 4 year olds in each time slot.
