Terrific Turtles

March was so much fun for the Turtles! Samantha and Nicholas both went to Florida and Cole went on vacation to Hawaii. Cassandra and Aleene are teaching their friends a bunch of new songs and dances. Chloe loves to help her friends put the puzzles together when they need help. Matthew tries to push his friends on the swings outside, while Dan tries to pull them on the wagon. Cheyenne, Summer and Sarah are talking so much now, they love to sit in a little circle in the corner and chatter away with each other in the mornings. Michael enjoys school more and more each day, art time is his favorite. We look forward to learning about all sorts of animal in April.

Super Seals

Spring is here.....Hooray! The month of March was very exciting. The seals learned "All about the Weather" including the rain, wind, sun and snow. We had a great time flying our kites and using our pinwheels outside. Together we sang the song "Mr. Sun" while wearing our sunglasses. The children learned "rain" in sign language and oval in spanish. Our color last month was purple. While painting with blue and red, we discovered that when we mix them together they make purple. The seals explored letters M and B along with words that begin with each. For the month of April we will be learning about the wonderful wildlife. We would like to wish Happy Birthday to Maggie M on the 1st and Maggie W on the 22nd. Happy Passover and Easter to everyone.

We wish everyone a Happy Passover and Easter,
Miss Courtney and Miss Michelle
