Hello,
These last two months of school will go fast and be busy. This month our theme will be all about spring. We will talk about flowers, bugs, and weather. I will go over the letters R, H, V, U and K.
We will talk about how caterpillars turn into butterflies, and we should have some in our class for the kids to watch and once they turn into butterfly’s we release them.
Our class comes back from spring break on April 3rd .
We will have no school April 8th due to the Solar Eclipse.
Thanks,
Mrs. McElroy

Happy Spring! I’m not sure about you, but I am so ready for the warmer weather to be here.
Please remember that while the weather is warming up, please continue to have the students bring a light jacket or hoodie. When we have our scheduled playtime, it can still be a little chilly and I would like to get the kids outside as much as possible.
We will be getting into the full swing of things as we prepare to close out this school year (it will be here before any of us realize it!). We will continue working on our alphabet and numbers. We will also continue to work on some simple math, beginning sounds, missing letters and numbers, etc., as well as introducing sequencing.

On a personal note from Ms. Nowak…. April is Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month. As you all know, my son is Autistic, so this month is very personal and special to me. Awareness and acceptance are two very separate things. Awareness is easy – you just acknowledge someone is different then you and move on. Acceptance takes work, effort. Acceptance comes from a place of understanding – understanding that another classmate or person is different from you but still asking to play with them (or them with you), sitting with them at lunch and talking, just being a good friend to them and including them. As I have found through my son’s experiences, many school kids have a lack of knowledge about disorders such as Autism, and that lack of knowledge can lead to bullying or singling someone out all because they are the “weird kid.” As adults, we are aware of such disorders, but we often forget to talk to our children about them. As we go through this month, I urge you to talk to your children. Inform them. Educate them. Encourage them to be a friend to the “weird kid”. Encourage them to be a friend to everyone even when their likes don’t align. Talk to them and reassure them that it is OK for people to be different and develop different.
If you have any questions, I am always willing to talk. I don’t have all the right answers, but I can definitely share my family’s story. There is a meme on Facebook that says “I am not an expert on autism.
I am an expert on MY CHILD with autism” and that is 100% correct.
“I do not suffer from Autism, but I do suffer from the way you treat me.” - Tyler Durdin
“I don’t talk about Autism for sympathy or pity. I talk about Autism to spread awareness and acceptance for those children and adults that are just as important as you or me.”
