Catch me if you can!

Well parents…we finally made it to our Spring Break!  We are all hoping for some warmer, dryer weather and sunshine when we return to school after the break.  Today we talked about the wind and did some fun activities with that.  We used a bubble machine and spent a long time on the playground chasing bubbles as the wind blew. 

We also tried to catch a leprechaun.  We didn’t succeed and he made a HUGE mess!!! The kids thought this was the greatest day ever!  Don't be surprised if they ask you to make a trap at home tomorrow.

We have completed our unit on nature.  When we return after the break we will begin a unit on Animals in the Wild.  If your child is looking for something to work on at home, have them  work on writing numbers 1-10,  letters A-Z (correctly and in order),  and when we return we will also begin  learning to write our last names. 

You should have received an email about our upcoming Boosterthon and Spring Sprint.  Please register your child over spring break and begin collecting those pledges.  This is our largest and easiest fundraiser.  The Boosterthon team will be here on March 27^th to get your kids pumped up!  Get ready!!!

Saturday, March 30^th is our Stepping Stones Spring Carnival.  It begins at 9am and all activities are free for your kids.  Please come enjoy a fun morning with your kids!

Mark this date on your calendar now- May 16, Prekindergarten End of the Year Program 8:30am

WE HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL, FUN, AND SAFE SPRING BREAK!!!!!  

In like a lion...

We've been busy little bees this week!  We learned the letter W, used a scale to learn to measure objects, and worked on blending the sounds in words.
Next week, we will introduce the letter X, continue learning about Jesus, review the seasons and things found in nature, and we will discuss time of day and temperature.  On Friday, we will spend the day talking about the wind, and we will try to set a trap to catch a leprechaun.

Report cards are coming home today.  If your child does not receive theirs today, please check with the business office.  We are very excited to see all the progress the kids have made!  If your child was in Mrs. Stephens class previously, please notice the scores may be different for your child this quarter.  Review the grading scale on the card.  If you have any questions, please see your child's teacher.

We have some exciting things coming up soon for Stepping Stones.Our Spring Carnival will take place on March 30th from 9-12.  It is a super fun morning for your kids!  A lot of work goes into making this special for our preschoolers.  I hope you are planning to attend and don't forget to bring along friends or family with you with preschoolers.  You all would be great tour guides for new families!

We are one week away from Spring Break!  After that, time will fly super fast!  Hang on tight!

On Friday, April 5th we will have Spring Sprint.  This is our biggest and most exciting fundraiser for our kids.  More details will be coming out soon!

We hope you have a wonderful weekend!  See you Monday!
