Miss Lisa's April Newsletter

April 2011
Butterfly M-W-F Class,
Can you believe how fast March came and went?  Is it true that April showers bring May flowers?  I love flowers, but we can sure do without so much of the
April starts with our Spring Break that runs from the 4th -8th.  Please enjoy your time off with the wonderful weather we are having!  When we get back from Spring Break, we will be in full swing and enjoying the music, art, and history of Passover! This year Passover is being observed April 19th through April 26th. While we are observing Passover, we would like to ask that no chametz, or “bread” products be brought into school for lunch.  This means anything that “rises” or is leavened.
Snack will consist of fresh fruit, eggs, matzah crackers, and any other item that follows the practice during this special time of year. We will be going over what is chametz and why we only eat unleavened bread during Passover.
This month we are also going to start our butterflies and bugs section.  The children will have a wonderful time searching for little critters in our garden and in yours. We will go over the cycle of the butterfly and maybe the lady-bird as well. This and so much more is going to make our April fly by.
We are very excited to announce that last week we added a new friend to our Butterfly class; Quincy and his mother Stephanie.  Quincy has adjusted well and everyone has been very helpful making him feel comfortable.
