Greetings from the Butterfly Room

Hope you all had a great May! We have only a couple of weeks left in this school year.  I can’t believe how
fast the years just fly by. We have a great class and your children are all wonderful gifts.


The Kindergarteners have been practicing a couple of times a week for their play.  They are doing great
learning their lines.  We will have a dress rehearsal on the morning of June 10th. The whole school will
come down to watch and enjoy it.


The Mother’s day tea was great. I was so glad that you were all able to attend.
We celebrated two birthdays in May.  Caulin Mecham turned 5 on the 8th and Teddy Domurat turned 5 years
on the
26th.  Happy Birthday!!!!

As always our classroom has been busy with an array of activities in all areas.
