Remembering with Honor
On May 30th, Memorial Day,
we remember those
military men and women who died serving their country. Many memorials are held
on this day to honor our fallen men and women. We ask that you take the time to
share the importance of our military members who helped to keep our
country safe and free.

Up, Up and Away!
It
always amazes us how “high” our students have risen during the school year
academically, physically and socially. But unfortunately it is time to let our
“babies” move on up and continue their journey to reach for the stars. And we know
they can do it!
Our
students from last year showed us just how high they can go during their study
of space. It is out of this world!

To Do List: Technology
Yes
technology! If you are not already using technology in the classroom, consider
adding it to your To Do list for the summer. There are lots of programs and
apps out there that can be easily incorporated into the early childhood
classroom. This post showcases children’s work and activities using technology
and with just a little bit of effort and time, you too can use these programs
too!
We
suggest picking one or two of the programs/apps and spending some time this
summer playing with them. These are some of the programs/apps that were used
this year: Voki, Chatterpix, Thing Link,
Little Bird Tales, and a few others. Get a feel for what it does and how it can
be integrated into your teaching and student activities. You will be surprised
how easy (and fun!) it can be.

Voki allows us to focus and get the class ready to learn!

Marvelous May
The end of another school year is fast approaching and there are
still so many wonderful topics to be explored! But since we were still having
snow last week (Yes! Snow!), we can’t depend on the weather to help us out. L So it’s a good
thing we have some themes that we can use to transform our classrooms into
settings for learning about animals.
This time of year is great for studying about insects. Children can
be both fascinated about and scared of insects, so giving them a chance to
explore a variety of insects will satisfy their curiosity and hopefully
alleviate some of their fears.
Ocean animals are another great topic of study. Discovering the
“secrets” about the animals that live underwater is a terrific way to get ready
for the summer months.
We know there are many other topics that are great for the end of
the year, but we hope you will be able to use some of our products to enhance
your study about insects and/or ocean animals in marvelous May!
