In the Classroom!
- Remind Me App: It's a free app that we're using to for simple reminders like show and share, friend of the week, physical due dates, etc. Our class code is 26kh9g
Fav books for the month: Sesame Street: Guess Who, Easter Elmo! - Matt Mitter, Oh David! - David Shannon, Fox with Socks - Dr. Seuss
Table Time: We'll continue shaking out our letter sounds. Singing "5 Little Ducks" with letters.
Sensory, Art, Science:
We're going to enjoy coloring our letter friend of the week, and practice using our five senses to be kind to one another.
Math:
Did you know we have snack math every day? We spend this time working on counting, color recognition, shapes, and vocab. We also have math when we are singing our songs like "5 Little Monkeys, Ducks, or Zoophonic Animal" of the week.
Dramatic Play:
This month we are trying to "pretend" eating and working together in the kitchen.
Social-Emotional:
We're continuing to practice and learn how to use our manners, say please, thank you, and sorry. We are also working on using words to express each other.
Gross Motor/Music & Movement: We're going to spend the month doing some animal yoga poses, continue working on balancing on one foot and jumping up and down with both feet of the ground And of course "Happy and You Know It" & "Choo-Choo Train" song.
Scholastic
Scholastic is done for the summer. We will resume back in August! Thanks for all your orders :)
Healthy Start Wisdom
The Book Nook
Mix It Up
This has been my absolute favorite book as of lately. It is fun, welcoming, and vibrant! It allows the children to interact with the pages.
The Parent's Spotlight
Thank you!!!
Thank you to all the parents for donations toward Teacher Appreciation week!
Remember there is a suggestion box in the lobby, and we love to hear about ideas to enhance the learning environment for your children.
Bringing in donations of items anytime we ask...you guys rock!!
Thank you for signing up for items for Family Fun Day!
Would you like to donate?
We could use:
- Shoes and socks (all sizes) for back ups for when kiddos have accidents
- Storage boxes
- Clear plastic jars (i.e. mayonnaise, peanut butter, jelly..etc.)
- Is there ever a time when you say to yourself, " I wonder if The Tot Spot would want this"? We could use it in so many ways. You may have babies, but the whole school is yours. Everything can turn into a sensory activity or learning experience. So, before you throw out your junk, ask your teacher if it could be used

Pizza Guy- 122 1/8...great where is 122 1/8?
Michelangelo- Your standing on it dude...just slip it down here.
(Money comes out from the city crate)
Pizza Guy- Hey this is a $10.00, the tab is $13.00.
Michelangelo- Your two minutes late dude.
Pizza Guy- Awe come on, I couldn’t not find the place.
Michelangelo- Wise man once said forgiveness is divine but never pay full price for a late pizza.
