In honor of Mother’s Day, the PTF held a sale on Thursday May 7, 2009. Students were able to buy something special for their mom, grandmother, aunts, etc.
It was such a delight to see the children looking around in excitement to pick the very best gift for mom: chocolate roses, cards, baskets, mugs and of course, jewelry for the queen of the house!
This sale was not a fundraiser; the purpose was to give the children the opportunity to give back to their mothers. We had items for as low as 25 cents giving everybody the chance to take a gift home.
A special thanks to our volunteers who made this sale a hit! Their kindness and love helped the children obtain the best for their money.
After all, we wanted to express our love to:
… that extra special mother who has dedicated years of service and love to raising her children.
…the mother who has sacrificed for her children to have more than she ever had
..the mothers that are just blessed with that extra patience and kindness…to every mother out there that we thank God for every time we think of them.
Proverbs 31:28 NIV “Her children arise and call her blessed;”

Responsibility means doing what is right, keeping our promises, and acting appropriately. 1c has been discussing our responsibilities in our classroom, in our homes and in our communities. When we try to make the right choices and follow the rules we are trustworthy and dependable. Responsibility does not mean being perfect but it does mean doing our best!

This month KV has been very busy. KV was very excited to go on a trip to the big city, and visit PETCO. At Petco we had a tour of a large pet shop. Kindergarten was able to pet some of the animals, and even pick out their new class pet. KV picked out and purchased a Hermit Crab on our class trip. We are learning responsibility, and taking care of our new class pet, Racer. A special thanks to all the parent volunteers who came with us on our trip!

Almost every day, Pre-K 4 has three Hurray Kids. Each teacher chooses a paper with one child’s name, and that child is a Hurray Kid. The teachers watch, and write down all the good things the child does that day, and the child takes the paper home at the end of the day. They LOVE being Hurray Kids!

Bible times have been special. On May 15th we presented a chapel story about David and Goliath, and sang an original song to help us remember that God is bigger than our problems. We learned about Joshua and Caleb going into the Promised Land, and trusting that God would help His people, but the people believed the bad report from other men who were afraid, so His people were not able to enter the Promised land. Paul and Silas were in prison, but instead of complaining, they praised God, and were freed.

We worked on dinosaur projects. We have a dinosaur book, a story about our pet dinosaur, a dinosaur visor, and on Friday, May 29th had a dinosaur egg hunt in our classroom. On Monday, June 1st, we will work on a big project and have a dinosaur snack. Come back next month to learn more!

In Science we made pictures showing the four parts of a plant: roots, stem, leaves and flowers. We also learned that our hair and teeth have roots, too, so that they don’t fall out! We planted popcorn in a big flower pot. Now we are waiting to see if it grows. Do YOU think it will?

In PreK 4 we practiced drawing people. It is hard to remember to put on hair, legs, eyes, mouth and nose, but our people were beautiful!

We continue to write the lettr of the week as we approach the end of the school year. We also have written short, simple words to practice our writing skills. We finished the numbers 1-20. When we got to 19 we made beautiful ladybugs with 19 black dots on them. When we did number 20we had a hard job. We had to color 20 fingers on 4 hands! Whew! That was a lot of coloring!
