Happy Weekend Families!

A great time was had by all at our Mommies’ Breakfast on Thursday.  All week long the children worked on special surprises for their mothers.  They made flower vases by decorating clear drink bottles with stickers and strings of pearls.  They also made beaded necklaces with shrinki-dink medalions and baked yummy muffins.  The children also helped develop a list of menu items and supplies we would need to set up our buffet.   It was a pleasure to have the moms spend a bit more time in the classroom with us.  Extra thanks goes to fathers Geoff, Warren and Matt, for their help in making this a great morning.  We hope you enjoyed the special morning!

The class really spent the entire week working on the special mommies celebration, but we did squeeze in some outdoors play and time to practice for our Musical Performance.  On Friday, the Preschool children performed the song, “Inch by Inch”, at the Spring Music Show.  They did a great job and looked so cute with their farmer hats and tools up on the stage.  We are so proud of the class, as they worked hard to memorize the lines and movements.  Bravo, les enfants!
