Children's House I, May Newsletter


During the month of April, the children studied Henri Matisse in art. We painted with a plunger. In practical life, we worked on whisking, pouring using a teapot, tweezing and beading to strengthen our fine motor and life skills. The caterpillars arrived in our classroom. We are learning about the life cycle of the butterfly. We discussed and celebrated Earth Day.

In May, we continue to observe the lifecycle of the butterfly. Cinco de Mayo Celebration( May 5th) is in May. If you would like to donate a healthy fun snack or a piñata, please let us know.
