Monthly Highlights
Junior Kindergarten
May 2024
Dear Parents,
It is hard to believe that it is May! This school year has flown by very quickly! The children have grown so much, and we are proud of their accomplishments. Our goal continues to be to address the emotional, social, spiritual, artistic, academic, and physical needs of the children. As the school year ends and questions arise, please feel free to contact us.
Our theme this month is Our Beautiful World. We will learn that God made people the stewards of the Earth. It is our responsibility to care for the plants and animals He created. We will discuss various ways to protect the environment, the effects of pollution, and the importance of recycling. Other topics this month will include plants and seeds; an introduction to skip counting by tens; letters Y and Z; and a review of the alphabet. There will also be an introduction to sight words mom, dad, cat, dog, and you.
Our memory Bible verse is All things were made by God. John 1:3. Our Bible stories will include God Made a Beautiful Garden - Creation and God Frees His People. Our spiritual objective is to help the children understand that God created the world and everything in it for us to love and enjoy.
The children will soon be practicing for their graduation programs. Mrs. O’Brien’s ceremony will be held on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The ceremony will be at 7:00 p.m. and will take place in the Sanctuary. The children have worked very hard for this day, and we want to make it very special for them. They should come dressed in their “Sunday best.” The children should arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled program time. Please enter the main doors of the church with your child and drop them off in the
hallway to the left of the sanctuary.
Our field day will be Wednesday, May 22nd. We will be spending extra time outdoors. We have planned several activities for the children to enjoy. Please put sunscreen on your preschooler before sending him/her to school. The children will be treated to pizza for lunch from Little Caesars and a Fla-Vor-Ice popsicle from Adam Lamb. If your child cannot eat the pizza or popsicle due to allergies, you are welcome to send your own lunch and snack. Thursday, May 23rd will be the last day of school in the building. The children will bring their lunch to school and backpacks too, so they can pack up all their supplies to take home.
A letter will be sent home concerning the Legacy Park Picnic on May 24th. The large pavilion has been reserved for the Adam Lamb families. Parents are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch and enjoy some playtime with their children and classmates. Mrs. O’Brien’s class is scheduled from 12:00-2:00 at the park, Cool Time ice cream truck will be at the park from 11:30-12:30 to provide ice cream treats for the Adam Lamb children and their families. Children must be accompanied by an adult. We look forward to celebrating with all of you the day of the picnic. If May 24th is a rainy day, we will let you know about a makeup day and time via email and ClassTag. There will be NO school on May 24th if it rains!
Vacation Bible School at Dardenne Presbyterian Church is scheduled for June 17-21. Registration is now open. There is no registration fee, but space is limited. Registration closes on May 12, 2024. Children must be 4 years of age by the first day of VBS to attend. VBS t-shirts, CDs, and digital music will be available to purchase the week of
