JUNE 2010 NEWSLETTERS
THREE YEAR OLD CLASS
PRE-KINDERGARTEN
May is such a bittersweet time in the Pre-K class here at First Step. Although we are thrilled at how far so many of our friends have come, we now must say goodbye to many of them as they move on. They are leaving us however, very well prepared to take on bigger challenges with a very well deserved confidence that they have earned.
This month we have completed and reviewed all of our letters, numbers to 10, colors and shapes. We have also completed our “Handwriting Without Tears” workbooks and will proudly be sending them home for all to see.
All the time spent preparing for Mothers Day Tea certainly paid off. Our decorations, gifts, baked goods and songs were carefully and prepared by the children who proudly performed for all the moms on a fun and exciting morning for all.
Our time left this year at First Step will be spent preparing for our next performance which takes place during graduation. Set decorations, songs and lines must be practiced and perfected. Other exciting upcoming events include our annual beach party and picnic to be held on June 8th and a Fathers’ Day breakfast from 7-9 on June 3rd.
Although time is winding down we still have lots of fun, learning and excitement left. Enjoy these last few weeks of school left with your children.

(a.k.a. Fun With Fives/Kindergarten)
Our 2009-2010 school year may be winding down but we seem busier than ever!
In May, we hosted our annual Mother’s Day Tea, finally planted our garden, and completed our writing journals. The weather has cooperated and we’ve enjoyed our expanded outdoor space including our new volleyball net. We can’t wait to read our new thermometer and rain gauge! Our garden has sprouted and everyday we see the “greens” of our labor. Come check it out!
Our preparations for upcoming events will keep us busy for the rest of the year. Our fathers will LOVE their Father’s Day surprises that we made them. We’re looking forward to sharing a special breakfast with them in June. Our Third Annual Beach Party is coming soon also. And of course, our Graduation Celebration is always a special day! Our theme this year is “In Our Garden” and, if the weather cooperates, we’ll enjoy an outdoor reception after our program. Graduates AND our garden…….what a perfect combination!
Our First Step Explorers have grown up so much this year! They should all be very proud of themselves! Have a terrific summer vacation! Remember to stop by and visit! We will miss you!
