Lion Cub Class Newsletter
Hello Lion Cub Parents,
The next two months will be full of learning, fun, and special activities! Be sure to keep these events dates marked on your calendar. There are a few special events for the Lion Cubs that you won’t want to miss!
In March we learned about the planets and solar system, we covered the concepts of opposites and rhymes, and we learned how to take care of our earth by reducing, reusing, and recycling.
The class especially enjoyed sharing the different cultures of our families over the past few weeks. The Lion Cubs class represents 16 countries from around the world! We learned about the continents and found each country on the globe. Each child shared items, customs, and foods from their cultural heritage. It was so interesting, and the children really enjoyed the many different foods.
March was a month for learning new concepts. The children are becoming experts at writing their letters and knowing the letter sounds. We review these each day with our alphabet songs and letter chants.
Over the next few weeks, we will learn letters V, W, X, Y, and Z. The Lion Cubs will be studying the life cycles of butterflies, ladybugs, and frogs.
Volcanos are exciting and we will be making our own in class!
Spring has sprung! We will be learning about how plants grow. We will learn what plants need and how they develop from seeds. We will get our hands dirty and plant our own plants. The children are always so excited to see the sprouts emerge!
Our silent auction will begin on Saturday, April 5th. A link will be sent out for you to view and bid on the auction items. On Saturday, April 12th we will have our auction event. There will be amazing food, fun for the kids, a live auction of class projects, and a performance by the children. Be sure to attend!
The Lion Cubs Easter celebration will be lots of fun with Easter egg hunts, games, dyeing eggs, and even doing the bunny hop dance! We will learn the Easter story and how Jesus loves us and gives us forgiveness.
Thursday, April 17th is a minimum day for 9 to 3 students. There will be daycare for full-time children. There will be no school on Good Friday, April 18th. Spring break will be April 21st through April 25th.
Our school program will be on Friday, May 16th. All the children in the school will participate in this musical program. There will be an early dismissal after the dress rehearsal on that Friday. Children will need to be back at school by 6:30 pm for the performance. It will be an amazing evening for all!
There will be no school on Monday, May 19th, and May 26th for Memorial Day Holiday.
Finally, the Lion Cubs will have a special celebration to commemorate the completion of preschool. It will be held on Friday, May 30th at 11:15 am in the Lion Cub classroom. Parents are invited to attend. The children will do a small performance and receive their preschool diplomas. Please try to attend as children are very disappointed when they do not have a parent in attendance. Often parents want to do something special (leis, balloons, treats, etc.). Check in advance and you are welcome to bring items for all the children. Please, no gifts for individual children.
The school year will end on Thursday, June 5th. We will have an end of the year school picnic, and it will be an early dismissal.
I appreciate all that you do to support our school to do the best for our children!
