Last Post ~ Last Day ~ Wonderful Year!
Hi Preschool Parents,
Thank you all for such a fun preschool year. I have compiled an online album at the above link.
I apologize for not having a more organized blog link, but this had been such a slow blog site.
I find that the google pictures are easier to download and you can copy/print
as you would like.
Thank you again for a wonderful year!
I loved every minute of being with your children and getting to know you all!
Such blessings! Love, Mrs. Holly & Mrs. Mary
Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don't only give your care, but give your heart as well. ~Mother Teresa

Welcome to May! The month of "Mommy" and "Summer" and End of the Preschool Year!
This week at preschool, we welcomed Anna Ward back (Congratulations, again to the White family on their newest member, Bella Stewart!) and Lila (who returned from vacation). We said goodbye to our friend, Quincy - who left on vacation today (we will see him next year at preschool) and we missed our friend, Lauren who is away on vacation. (This is why I had such a hard time getting a group photo ;> )
Anyway, I managed to get one with everyone except Lauren. I hope you all will enjoy.
In the above photos, a peek from our week .... we talked about Mother's Day, Summer Fun (including the beach, pool, summertime, etc). We enjoyed abundant sunshine on the playground
and had lots of fun. We colored with crayons ( a request from the older class teachers) and
we made a beautiful beach collage with fish, whales (whale sharks - according to Max!), sailboats, and real sand! The children especially enjoyed my oldest daughter, Anne who spent the day with us today. You probably heard them talking about her as they loved having her in class today.
(She is 10 years old and in the 4th grade at St. Joseph's).
We spent time rehearsing for our spring festival which will be tomorrow morning. We did an
amazing job on stage today and all of the other teacher's talked about how wonderful we were
and how especially cute we were singing our songs. We can't wait for you to see them tomorrow!
It was a wonderful week! More pictures will follow above this post.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar ~ Life Cycle of a Butterfly
This week at preschool, we talked about the life cycle of a butterfly. We read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle and had music, art, and circle time activities tied into this lesson.The children loved making their own caterpillars and butterflies. I loved hearing the "ooh's" and "ahh's" as we turned the last page of the book that showed the beautiful butterfly! We read the story a couple of times and by the second time, the children could already guess the next step. Look at those fine motor skills at work as they "pinch" the pom poms for the caterpillar's body! This story/theme introduces sequencing to them (early literacy) used to build their foundation of learning to read. They loved this story and I recommend all of Eric Carle's books for your home library. They are wonderful for children this age. This group is so smart, they amaze me everyday! Miss Elizabeth taught us a couple of butterfly songs in music and had a beautiful butterfly puppet and stamp! We had a very busy, wonderful week!
Easter Celebration....
Thank you to our party moms, Shell Brown and Lisa Bennett for the lovely party. We had a wonderful Easter Egg Hunt on our playground and enjoyed the beautiful weather! Then we came inside the classroom for our delicious snacks! The children were very sweet to one another, giving out hugs and "I love you's" ~ they are a darling group, and I am so much enjoying them!
