Wonder Years Academy
April 2019 Newsletter

WHEW! What a busy month at preschool!
March began with an introduction to measurements, learning the terms inch, foot, yard, and pounds. Then we jumped into a two week unit on Community Helpers, and explored what the students might want to be when they grow up. We also imagined what our communities would be like without some essential jobs, such as garbage collectors, mail carriers, police officers, grocery store workers, and teachers, just to name a few! And lastly, we had the preschool roaring with the sounds of wild animals in our zoo unit. One of the things we discussed is the differences between wild and domesticated animals - April would be a good month to take your kids to the zoo and reinforce what we learned at school, and is a super fun activity, too!

Some of our usual activities get moved around in April due to Spring Break, but we still have 4 super units lined up for our students. First we’ll explore the fascinating world of bugs and insects in I is for Insects. E is for Eggs and Easter comes next – besides some fun Easter activities, we will learn about which animals lay eggs vs live birth, and their life cycles. Then, our unit on seeds and plants in G is for Garden is perfect for spring! Then we end the month with X is for X-ray, a study of Our Bodies, how they are put together, and how we can take good care of them. 

HAPPY EASTER!

SUMMER CAMPS
We regretfully are not able to hold our popular Summer Camps this year due to the move to our new preschool location. But because Summer Camps are not just for students, and are appropriate for ages 3 thru 7, most of you will still be able to enjoy these fun summer programs next year, and even invite friends and family!
