Dear Families,

            Welcome to a new semester!  We are excited to start the spring semester and enjoy some warmer weather!  We look forward to continuing our explorations with the children this term and are excited to explore some new ideas with them.

            Thank you to all of our families who came to our Early Childhood Program Exhibit.  It was wonderful to see so many of our families and we hope you enjoyed looking and talking about what has been going on this school year.  It is so neat to see how much the children have grown this year!

            One of the great things about the spring term is that we are able to enjoy the outdoors a little more.  When it starts to get hot outside we will make sure to apply sunscreen to the children.  Permission forms will be filled out for this.  Please know that when the weather gets warmer we do more with water outside too.  A change of clothes is always a good idea.

            This year we wanted to have parent-teacher conferences at the end of the spring term.  This will give us a chance to talk to you about the entire school year as opposed to just the fall and winter semesters.  June 24^th is the last day of the school year.  July 8^th begins our summer term.  We will be having conferences on June 26^th, 27^th, and 28^th.  Sign-up sheets will be posted in the next week or two.

            As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please let us know.  Have a wonderful month!
