Happy Father's Day

Hello Purple Room Families,

First off, Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful Purple Room dads! I hope you are all enjoying your day!

Our students have really been interested in animals lately. A few weeks ago we went to PETCO and last week we had our petting zoo which sparked a lot of conversation about pets and farm animals. We have decided that we would like to take another trip to PETCO and pick out a class pet. This week we will be looking into the different types of pets that we can get for our classroom and discuss the ways in which we would need to care for those animals and hopefully decide on the type of animal we would like to get. Some of the animals the children seemed to really be interested in were: hermit crabs, rabbits, mice, hamsters, fish, turtles and birds. My hope is that our students will learn what great responsibility comes with having a pet. We will be doing crafts and activities based on these animals and our classroom discussion.

Secondly, this Wednesday (6/19) and Thursday (6/20) we will be celebrating Father's Day. Dads, please stop by between 8:00am and 10:30am to enjoy breakfast on us!
Lastly, Friday will be a day full of fun! It was requested by a few of our students that we have a dance party in our pajamas! So, kids, don't forget to wear your pajamas and bring your best dance moves!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening!

Warm regards,
Shaina
