Happy Mother's Day!

Good afternoon Purple Room Parents,

First off, Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms! I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day.

Secondly, Teacher Cecilia, Teacher Aimee, and I would like to say a huge thank you for all of your thoughtfulness and generosity for teacher appreciation week! We are so blessed to be a part of the Creative Minds team. Thank you for making us feel so appreciated and loved. :)

This week we will be discussing the letter's X and Y. We will be brainstorming about words that have the letter x in them (i.e. fox, box, mix, ox, etc.) We will also talk about x-rays and our skeletal system. We will have fun crafts based on the letter x such as making our own x-ray of our hands. For the letter Y we will be discussing the different sounds the letter can make. Form instance, the y in yarn sounds very different from that in party. We will discuss words like play, many, and yo-yo and the sound y makes in those words. We will also be on the lookout for things that are yellow. We will doing crafts with yarn and having fun with the color yellow.

Also, graduation is coming up in just a few short weeks. Invitations were sent out in parent pockets last Friday. Please pick yours up if you have not done so. We hope you can all make it! The class will be working hard over the next few weeks to make graduation fun and full of surprises.

Enjoy the rest of this beautiful Sunday!
