Mother’s Day will soon be here!
My mommy is so special and dear!
During the month of May we will be busy creating Mother’s Day projects and preparing for our annual Mother’s Day Tea. Please make sure to reserve May 9th or 10th to celebrate with your precious Little Bear! Tea and light lunch will be served. We can’t wait to show our MOMMIES how special they are.
Our theme for the remainder of the month will be bugs, bugs, bugs! We will be reading all about bugs, bugs, bugs! We will be reading all about creepy-crawlies at circle time and create lots of colorful bugs of our own!
Happy Mother’s Day!

The Little Bears welcome the month of March with learning about Community Workers and Easter. We will explore many different helping jobs in our community such as doctors, postal workers, police officers, etc. I would like to invite any parent who wishes to share their hobbies or careers with the children to please talk to me and sign-up for a small presentation. We will also learn all about God’s amazing Easter plan this month! Our letters are T, U, and V. Our virtue is “forgive”.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

February 2013
Brrrrrrrrrrr…! We had a very cool time learning about snow and winter. Now it’s February and our themes will be Valentines and Castles! We will focus on the joy of sharing with others and we will let our imaginations soar as we enjoy pretend play and become kings and queens, princes and princesses and more! Our letters this month will be Q, R, and S. Our virtue is LOVE.
The Little Bears will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on February 14th and 15th. Please have your child bring Valentine’s Day cards to pass out to their friends. Make sure to bring at least 18 cards and if your child comes on both days they need to bring enough cards for both days. We ask that you write only your child’s name on the cards. Please do not address them to anyone. That way the “letters” can be put in any mailbox and the children won’t become frustrated. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask me.
We’re going to have a “love”ly month!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

The magic and wonder of Christmas has arrived in the Little Bear’s room! We will be busy this month making decorations and doing special art activities for our Christmas tree, classroom and homes.
We will focus on the joy of Christmas and celebrating Jesus’ birthday. We are also learning our special song for the Young Child’s Christmas Service on December 11th.
Our letters for the month are K, L, and M. Our virtue is KINDNESS!
Have a wonder-filled and blessed Christmas!

November 2012
Is it true an apple a day keeps the doctor away? We’re not sure but the children will make many discoveries as we begin a new theme on apples. The children will learn about the life cycle of an apple, the many flavors and colors of apples and we’ll even do some apple tasting. We will also be learning all about the season of fall and all the changes that it brings.
Later in the month we will be discussing how Thanksgiving is a wonderful time for giving thanks to Jesus for all our blessings. We will hear all about the very first Thanksgiving. Our virtue this month is “THANKFUL”. Our letters are H, I, J, and K. RED is our color and Humpty Dumpty is our nursery rhyme.
God bless you this Thanksgiving and always!

Fall greetings to all of our families! We had a “beary” good beginning to our new school year! We had a super September learning about zoo animals, classroom routines and how to make new friends!
This month we will be learning about life on the farm! We will be learning about farm animals and the foods they give us to eat! We will also talk about the foods that grow on the farm and are harvested for us to enjoy. Then comes Halloween… that delightful time of year for dress–up and pretend play. We’ll be making some decorations, enjoying a Halloween party, and having a parade!
Our letters for the month are D, E, F and G,
Our virtue is “Be brave!”
Happy Fall and God’s blessings to you all!
