May Newsletter

As we continue to explore spring, both the three year old and four year old classes will be studying the world of insects.  Our butterfly larvae arrive soon.  We are excited to watch the transformation of our caterpillars into butterflies!  The rest of the month will have the three year old classes exploring farm life while the four year old classes will look at life around the pond. Our special day this month will be “Jersey Day” on May 23rd/24th. Wear a jersey/t-shirt/hat from your own team or your favourite team.

Mom’s Nights are approaching quickly!  They are this week on Tuesday, May 7th (6:30-8:00) for T/Th am classes and all pm classes, and Wednesday, May 8th (6:30-8:00) for all MWF am classes.  Bring mom (or another special adult if mom is unable to attend) for a fun-filled evening.  Students do not attend school during the day they have Mom’s Night.  Please make arrangements for siblings as it gets very crowded!

If your child is registered for Tot Spot in the fall, the deadline for the I’m For Kids Team screening forms is Wednesday, May 8th.  They can be returned in person or by email to lorrie.crowe@shaw.ca.  Please be sure to include a copy of your child’s birth certificate or passport.

With the arrival of warmer weather, please remember that your child still needs to be wearing appropriate footwear for our gym activities.   Flip flops are unsuitable for many of our activities.

Also, please label your child’s outdoor footwear and clothing.  Please ensure your child leaves with only his/her belongings.

The last Scholastic book order of the year is available online at Digital Flyers & Catalogues | Scholastic Canada Book Clubs.  We will have paper copies available for you as soon as they arrive.  Please enter our class code RC132090 when placing an order.  The deadline for orders is May 24th.

Registration is ongoing and recommendations to your family, friends and neighbours are always appreciated!  We still have a couple of spaces in each time slot but some classes are almost full.

There is a photo attached of a small bracelet that was found a few weeks ago.  If it belongs to your child, please let us know so we can return it to the rightful owner.
