Dear Parents,
Spring has sprung! The landscape is greening up with pops of color waiting to be discovered and enjoyed. My, how the children have all grown this school year – in so many ways beyond physically! We love that we get to be a part of this with you. Thank you for sharing your children with us. We are honored that you have all been a part of Friends ‘n Fun this year.
“BEEP BEEP! I AM A ROBOT!”
The Robot Study was so much fun and resulted in so many experiences!
Some of us built small “toy” robots; some of us made huge cardboard robots. Some of us learned about robots as machines and made “Twirl Bots” powered by battery packs; some of us made robot “costumes” and “became” robots. Some of us were photographed and transformed into robot puppets; some of us co-authored stories about robots. Some of us made real live movies about robots; some of us performed a robot themed puppet show. ALL of US had a wonderful time learning about robots and using our imaginations as we made robots come to life!
Our next adventure will involve HATS!! Some of you may want to stop by and do a little shopping at our well stocked HAT SHOP. There are lots of different styles to choose from!
Our millinery talents will be called in to play as we design custom hats to suit our individual interests and personalities. We are certain that a Hat Fashion Show will be needed in order to display our creations.
We also plan to use our hats in a theatrical production of the Mem Fox book THE MAGIC HAT.
We, as teachers, continue to be inspired by what is interesting and exciting to the children. They have led us on some amazing journeys this year!
This newsletter has lots of dates for and information about upcoming events! Keep reading for more news and dates!!!!

Please be sure to attend this special event! Your child will be at your “beck and call” as he or she attends to your every need during our Mother’s Day Tea Party. Your child should arrive at school at their regular time so we can prepare for the school’s magical transformation. You are invited to return at 11:00 to enjoy tea and treats served to you by your children. Be ready to shed a tear or two!
Due to our limited space and the nature of this special celebration, siblings or other family members will not be able to attend. If you unable to come a substitute would help your child join the celebration.
