REMEMBER THAT....
On June 7, 2019,
parents have the opportunity for an afternoon into the evening, OFF. Take some time for yourself or get a group together to have a night out on the town while we will entertain the little ones at school. Yes, that means you do not have to pick up your child after school. We will keep all the kiddos for a night of fun!
....we will start off with 6 rotations of pure fun including all the things you want to do at school but are not allowed, to "make and takes!"

Then we will take a dinner break to eat a pizza
together before we run around and explore what the school is like when no one
is there! This exploration time will be followed by MOVIE NIGHT- WHAT?! wait
what? And a trip to the purple playground to play when the movie is
then OLD news?...
PJ's and a toothbrush are all the kids need but can also bring a stuffed animal if they'd like to!
We will have them ready for bed by the time you get back for pick up at 7.30!

Our Monthly
CHALLENGE CALENDARS
CHALLENGE CALENDARS
are optional, we find skills
such as goal setting and delaying gratification extremely helpful and since we
cannot spend more time on this in school. The challenges were created as an
optional supplemental activity that most students enjoy.
In March we are working on delaying gratification. Academic success is proven in children who can delay gratification! Delayed gratification is the ability to resist the temptation for an immediate reward and wait for a later reward.
Examples: working to earn (save for) something that your child really wants; getting a new toy. Or if they get something another example would be waiting until they get home to open it; saving money to buy something more meaningful; making your child aware that they are waiting for a special event later in the day, etc
Turn your March calendars in by Wednesday!
