Happy Day Toddler Families!

We sincerely hope that you enjoyed the beautiful long weekend and that some of you had a chance to connect and relax with family. We are seeing so much more energy in the classroom now that the weather has turned around and the sun is finally shining on us once again; with that being said, we encourage you all to check the weather each morning and send your child with the appropriate outside gear so they can be comfortable when we are having our recess.

We love seeing and hearing all of the signs of spring and summer that we are experiencing each day which makes for rich and wonderful conversations with the children, from hearing the different birds that are emerging to the buds and early spring flowers we spot on the ground and on the trees. Take time out of your day to really encourage your child’s natural curiosity of the world and for a moment try to live from their point of view, because just like the tulip bulbs that are beginning to blossom, so are your beautiful children!

With gratitude,

Mme Craigie.

Salut tout le monde!

Printemps est finalement arrivé!

I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend.

We have been looking at signs and hearing the sounds of the new season. We have been noticing the warmer weather, birds singing, insects, flowers…

On another note, we all know that reading to your child has many great benefits. Books are great resources to help expand imagination, vocabulary, knowledge, conversation, and bonding. If you have children’s French books at home and would like to share them with your child’s classmates, it would be greatly appreciated!

Bonne semaine!

Best regards!

Mme Renée Perazzo.


Elementary

Last week, the children were excitedly discussing the many celebrations that this April brings: Passover, Easter, and Eid. The children enjoyed hearing the story of Passover, and were very excited when an upper elementary student brought in some matzah to share. We hope everyone was able to enjoy the long holiday weekend with friends or family.

All the Elementary students are excited to experience the sun and warmer weather that come with spring. The backyard area is a popular choice for students during the work cycle! We are grateful for the rain that is helping to prepare the soil in our garden for our spring planting. Unfortunately, with this rain comes mud, and lots of it! If your child regularly comes home with sopping socks or mud-caked pants from outdoor time, please encourage them to pack any extra clothing that might make the afternoons more comfortable.

Wishing you a lovely week ahead,

Michelle and Marissa.
