May at Tot Spot

May 5, 2025

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 22nd/23rd.  Wear a jersey/t-shirt/hat from your own team or your favourite team.

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 www.bookclubs.scholastic.ca.  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 Wednesday, May 21st.

Registration is ongoing and recommendations to your family, friends and neighbours are always appreciated!  Although a couple of classes are full, there are spaces available in some classes.

Some of you have been asking for the contact information for our Mom’s and Dad’s night entertainers.

Our Dad’s Night entertainer was Microscope Mark (a former Tot Spot parent) from Mad Science Calgary.  The link to their website is www.calgary.madscience.org.

Our Mom’s Night entertainer was Sonia Poon (owner of Forte Music Studio).
