Mothers Week Surprises!




Happy Mother’s Day! This is a spoiler alert. If you have not had a chance to read your Mother’s Day flower booklet, please do before reading this email.
Here are some must mentions from that booklet:
My mom is as beautiful as a tiger; as a cheetah; as a flamingo; as  the grass. Miles said, “My mother is way prettier than anything!”
My mom gets mad when I scream; when we don’t clean; when I call her bad names like “poopie”! My mom never gets mad.
My mom teaches me to go to bed; to juggle lemons; to do cartwheels. She teaches me NOTHING!
My mom always says “NO!” My mom always says,”Get ready fast! Get in the car!” My mom always says, “Adelle!!!”
My mom loves it when I’m being so hungry! When she has chocolate! When I do toys.
If I had a lot of money, I would buy my mom a puff to puff her face. A pink one. I would buy her 4-20 hours! I would buy her skittles, TWO PACKS! I would buy her a unicorn stuffy! I would buy her a raker…what rakes leaves, but I already have a lot of money! I would buy her make up. She needs some!
I am proud of my mom when she plays Barbies with me; when she cleans my room; when she buys me stuff.
My mom makes the best oatmeal, and put some sprinkles on top! She makes the best Spiderman soup! She makes the best cereal, Lucky Charms. She pours the milk really good! My mom makes the best green eggs!
Hattie took charge of a ‘kitty game’ during recess then came to give us her report. “The kitty problem is all controlled! They were being kitties and I rubbed their heads and now it’s good! Mrs. McClure, pet my hair whenever you want!” Life is going to be very dull for me soon, without the games of a 4 year old!!!

Our reading program has come to a close. It ended with a bang! So impressed with all of these excellent readers! We will announce them on Wednesday. Please return any reading books borrowed, if you still have a few stragglers left at home. Thank you. One last day with backpacks! Ha!
I am so excited about our program on Wednesday. Be sure to have your child’s shirt found, clean and ready to wear that day. Any pants or skirt is fine. We will finish up this froggy year in a fashionable way! Please have your child at the church on Harris and Bates at 9:00. No pony or pig tails, please. And, please be punctual. There are several things we need to do together with both classes to be ready for the program at 10:00. Thank you, Afternoon parents for all the help and food. You are awesome! It’s going to be so great! Can’t wait!
Much love to all,

Game Week Videos

Here's a few video's of kids helping each other do their games from both classes.


Games, Games, and More Games!

Games, games, games. We had a great time creating games of review. They will make great practice over the summer.
Here’s a fun story. I was instructing the children about the baseball number word game. I said, “Choose a team color. Make your coach to match! They will be awesome because ‘everything is awesome when you’re part of a team’!” Eli immediately picked up on that and sang, “EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!” Others joined in, “Everything is awesome when you’re part of a team!” Soon, half the class was singing the entire Lego song! It was awesome.
Times like this, I sit back and enjoy the ride.
Many times, Eli is the favorite. I watch as children wait for him to finally sit down, as to steal a place beside him, practically on his lap. It is the same in the afternoon class with Nash. This week I watched Clive jerking on his one arm and Miles tugging on the other. Patiently, Nash firmly stated, “DO NOT KILL ME!” And they all nestled down together in a scrunched little huddle on the carpet squares. Too funny!
We are getting lots done, while celebrating the last of the birthdays. We like to include the summer birthdays in our celebrations, to be sure everyone gets a chance to receive a birthday crown, and all that comes with that at school. We love our birthday traditions.
Our reading program will come to a close on Thursday. I need all readers and book lists by that day. If your child happens to be absent that day, please arrange for those to be turned in ahead of time.
Please locate your child’s frog preschool shirt. We will be wearing them for the program. It’s gunna be great! Can’t wait!
Splash Day will be on the 16th, a Thursday, the last day of class following the day of the program. All school times change for that day, as we all plan to meet 9:00-11:30. Please make these arrangements if your child is to attend. Thank you.
Have a great weekend. See you next week.
Much love and devotion,
Mrs. McClure
