May Moments in the 3's

Time is flying by in the Three's Class! This week we had some very special critters come to visit our classroom: CATERPILLARS! We will watch them eat and grow, and eventually become butterflies.

Looking ahead: Please join us for a Teddy Bear “Picnic” morning from 9:15-11:00 on Friday, June 3rd. Mrs. T will join us for some music and movement. Please bring a blanket for your family to sit on, as well as a small snack to enjoy. Please pick snacks that aren’t messy and please plan to take your trash with you. Then we will move out to the playground to finish up the morning. Families including siblings and stuffed animals are invited! IMPORTANT: No early drop off on this day.
