As we come back to school after Spring Break we will start off talking about foods- first fruits & veggies and then on to yummy treats. :)
Then we will spend a few days reviewing the Easter story and doing some spring crafts. We will finish up April discussing bugs & flowers and will get to enjoy watching caterpillars transform into butterflies in our classroom. The kids have made a lot of progress recently with sharing and taking turns and I look forward to continuing to watch them grow as a class.

Happy Easter,
As we get closer to the end of the year, it gets a little busier. We have Easter stuff as well as Trike-a-thon. We will continue working on our letters and numbers continuing with Z, W, V, & Y; and numbers 21-24. There will also be a sign up the Trike-a-thon and Field Day.
Thank you,
Miss. Schroder

Happy spring! I’m not sure about you, but I am 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!). A lot of updates will be on Class Dojo throughout the month.

On a personal note (from Ms. Nowak), April is Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month. As you 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 than you and move on. Acceptance takes work, and 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 differently.
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.”
